An NVIDIA device failed unexpectedly, wiping the speaker's work. He used OpenAI's Codex to rebuild his setup and now backs up his AI environment daily. The lesson: even reliable hardware breaks, so backup your work and know your recovery tools.
This is from NVIDIA, right? You would expect NVIDIA to have a very reliable device. And I think they're a great company, right? Still the most valuable company in the world. But make sure that when you're setting your skills up, that you have some form of like a daily backup, right? Or maybe even a weekly backup because you don't know when these things go down. And initially I thought I lost everything on this device and I was trying to recover it. But turns out once somehow I was able to use my Codex to get the setup back to basically where it was and I was able to revive it.
