Jensen is in Tokyo this week， where he met with executives from Sega Corporation to commemorate their respective companies' special relationship. In the mid-90s， Nvidia was contracted to design the GPU for the Sega Dreamcast console， but Nvidia couldn't deliver on the contract. This left Nvidia with no revenue and in a precarious position as a young startup. Despite this， Sega decided to give Nvidia a lifeline with a $5 million investment， keeping Nvidia afloat. When the history books are written on how we reached AGI， let's not forget how Sonic the Hedgehog helped us speed run the singularity.
