Well, they're not AI companies, necessarily, or at least not only AI companies, but the big hardware firms tend to have engineers at the helm. That includes Nvidia, AMD, and Intel. (Counterpoint: Apple)

Counter counter point: apples hardware division has been doing great work in the last 5 years, it’s their software that seems to have gone off the rails (in my opinion).

I'm not sure how this is a counter-point to the allegation that Tim Cook isn't really an engineer.

COO, not CFO. He is a supply chain/manufacturing/operations guy.
