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.
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.”
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.
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.

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.

Quite probable.
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?
Oh, who is China bombing and starving daily?
Their own people.
They use arms against their students and they are starving their Uyghurs

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.
