## Summary

Semafor's opinion column argues that Jensen Huang's ouster from Nvidia will make the company more profitable but less innovative, as any new CEO optimizes for profitability. The author says Huang was Nvidia's one-man long-term moat, and that a less innovative Nvidia would harm the wider technology ecosystem.
