Nobody in his position turns tail like that, that quickly unless they have something serious they’re afraid of.
New nVidia CEO: Lisa Su
New AMD CEO: Jensen Huang
problem solved!
Damn. He left with a plastic bag in his hand. And a couple of billions richer, almost forgot that part
Not content with hoarding all the RAM in the world, Jensen is also hoarding all the girlfriends.
This is why I’m single and RAMless
I have read that this relationship has been going on in the open for a long time and might be approved by his wife. The real issue may be Nvidia was selling chips to China via Huang’s company and now Jensen is taking the fall for an affair rather than breaking US-Taiwan trade deals.
Nvidia was playing both sides, whereas Jensen’s side pieces took the blame.
That was fast and without fuss. I wonder what they have on him.
“knowingly violating state-security related export requirements to the tune of billions of dollars and leaking the contents of oval office conversations” is the real deal.
The administration was (shockingly) willing to let that slide for a year and keep Jensen in his inner circle, and therefore so was NVidia.
But people won’t look away from a sex scandal like they will from a national security scandal, so now everybody has to pretend that give a shit about the rule of law for a few news cycles.
His stupid leather jacket and techbro bait ‘’‘‘charisma’’‘’ were doing a fair bit of heavy lifting in terms of people being duped into believing AI is worth jack shit.
So I’m actively hoping this fool’s errand ends.
If AI was worthless there wouldn’t be headlines about it. Is it overhyped? Yes. Is it useless? Far from it.
Why reason with it?
If it was useful it wouldn’t need the incessant hype. It would sell itself.
May I introduce the dot-com bubble? That whole internet company thing sure turned out to be useless fad, huh?
Just like back then, people don’t really yet know what AI is useful for, or what it can actually in its current and the near future form do, but they are throwing it against the wall to see what stick because if someone manages to find the winning formula first, they’ll be unbelievably rich. See, this small book store called “Cadabra” - you may know it better by their current name: Amazon. Or a silly side project of a General Magic employee everyone said was stupid and useless, Ebay.
AI will be over hyped, over used, the bubble will burst, and we’ll be left with the ones that actually made a lick of sense from usability and cost standpoint.
Oh yeah? What bout toothpaste then? Youre just here astroturfing for that 10th dentist
Regardless of what it is, it’s not worth the cost.
There were headlines about NFTs and beanie babies too
😆
From dishwasher to billionaire and led his private life like an idiot.
You know what the most fucked up thing is?
You or me losing a few hundred dollars or euros will hurt us more than him losing tens of billions will hurt him if he gets divorced. The loss of his marriage itself would be the biggest negative consequence, but a man with currently 3 rumored affairs probably doesn’t care much
Pussy remains undefeated.
Can’t believe he popped the AI bubble with his dick.
I fail to see how this is gonna pop anything. The circular financing will continue uninterrupted.
If people divest from nvidia it will crash the whole market depending on scale. It doesn’t have to make sense. All that needs to happen is enough people get scared and sell that triggers more selloffs
Nvidia is down 14.25% YoY, 26.81% past 30 days, and only 4.82% of that can be attributed to the past 5 days.
This has had relatively little impact on NVDA and less on the circlejerk as a whole, unfortunately.
Uh, it’s down 12.89% just in the last 5 days.
4.34% was just today.
How else would you pop it?
Maybe I’m evil, but I’m just happy that he’s not raping children.
*That we know of
That probably won’t come out until next week when Nvidia have started to distance themselves from him
Or what they showed him after the 2nd affair came out and he said still wouldn’t leave?
Oh don’t worry, I’m sure you could still six degrees him to child rape.
AI companies that he’s artificially inflated due to handing out imaginary billions, which is given back to nvidia in GPU buys, which then goes out to another AI company, which comes back via GPU buys, etc etc etc without any actual, real money changing hands leads to sick fucks getting AI models to generate AI child porn, which leads to child rapists getting hot and bothered and going out and raping living breathing children.
That last part is quite a claim. Is there some data to back it up, or is it more like a hypothesis?
It’s the old issue at the core of discussions about fictional sexual depictions of children in general. Some claim it can act as a harmless alternative outlet, others the opposite that it will encourage people to do actual harm.
I’d be surprised if it was the latter given that similar claims (“violent video games cause violence”) have been proven to be bullshit, but to my knowledge there aren’t really any studies on it either (probably bc it’s hard to do).
Yeah, thats because you cant go out and cast fuckin fireball at a troll in real life.
AI’s are trained on real images of real children to generate child porn, its completely realistic and exactly in line with all the other child porn these people are most likely viewing, except thanks to the AI they can sink into their disgusting fucking shit even further by tailoring every fucked up image to their fucked up wants. Theres no bullshit attempt to handwave it away as a drawing and that the character is actually a 9000 year old dragon or whatever other fucked up bullshit. It is unabashedly child exploitation material.
Trying to compare it to video games is a disgusting attempt to distract and deflect.
He’s been at a table with the President and some others from his administration, so take that for however many degrees you want, but at most two.
It’s fairly obviously two degrees, if not one.
Jensen Huang is one dumb son of a bitch.
Still going to be rich for life though. Lucky dumb son of a bitch.
Dumb is right. Dude was literally on top of the world in charge of one of the world’s most important companies and now he’s disgraced because he couldn’t keep it in his pants. Pretty sad, and stupid.
But that’s also the most ridiculous reason for a CEO to be displaced. Not on performance, not on treatment of subordinate, no, it’s what he did in his persona life that has no effect on the company.
But his public persona IS part of his job. A CEO in today’s world isn’t paid just to run a company. They are also paid to SELL the company stock. He let his personal life become public which hurt the company enough too warrant his removal.
I think that I am more annoyed with humans in general being judgemental.
It’s hillarious that supporting and enabling crimes against humanity is okay but putting your wee wee in the wrong wooha forces you to resign immediately.
What a fucking world we live in.
Edit: Sorry for calling it a hole at first
The wee wee part is the cover up for Nvidia selling chips to China under the restrictions.
TBH nVidia probably said “alright, fuck it, lets make the ethics a bigger story and maybe it will bury the legal issues we’re facing and stop the stock drop.”
If Nvidia wasn’t in on it Huang (the Jensen half) was surely going to use it as his scapegoat for the 20% of sales that he knew were illegal.
Well that ship’s well off shore holding tiny people waving to you, eh?
Quite probable.
Didn’t everybody know that for like…a while though? I mean, Gamers Nexus made a video on it like a year ago and it blew up. I doubt that’s news anymore.
Oh, who is China bombing and starving daily?
Rich dudes getting around a bit is expected, But Hwang a. gave a honeypot spy access to trade secrets (allegedly — though the company is taking this seriously) and b. in a second affair, fraternized with a lower-ranking officer of the company. (Companies notoriously don’t take these seriously, even when there’s evidence of duress, but this looks bad compounded with the spy thing, and highlights how he’s a security risk.)
Again, it is routine for c-suite officers to get a bit on the side, but indiscretion is seen as a symptom of liability. As the whole Ubisoft senior management sex ring debacle shows, to the company and investors it’s less about the scandal and more about its public visibility.
However, nVidia has been wanting to sell its state-of-the-art chips in Beijing since the beginning, creating a conspicuous conflict in the AI investment is national security because we have to beat China narrative. So I wonder if this figures into the honeypot story.
I’m sorry, Ubisoft what, now?
yup, it’s real…if you thought Ubisoft couldn’t go any lower than their stock valuation…
One hole per wee wee, that’s the rule. I don’t make it up.
Crazy how fast that happened. But was obvious. It’s not about the cheating, it’s about the feds discovering nvidia has probably made billions by ignoring export restrictions to china lmaoo.
I think I’m missing huge chunks of this fiasco.
I didn’t think he would resign.
Surely no one cares about the cheating.
Also wouldn’t any affair partner effectively be “a Chinese spy”?
Feds knew he was doing shady shit funneling GPUs to a Chinese front in late 2024. This is only changing now because it’s unavoidably public.
… And then sweeping it under the rug!
HA!
