All it took was a Taiwanese billionaire tech mogul sticking his dick where he shouldn’t. At this point, im willing to crowdfund his prostitutes.

    It’s more than obvious that this scandal is now being used to explain the complete failure of the financial system through such a trivial matter. These people apparently still think they need a scapegoat—this time they’re even presenting someone from their own ranks (presumably because he isn’t white).

    I cannot, for the life of me, understand why social media is still buying into this. This is obviously the buildup to the inevitable crash, which was by no means caused by LLM technology itself, but rather by the ridiculously inflated expectations of the “financial experts.”

    This may be amusing right now, but soon all of this will cost the little guys all their money. That’s as certain as death and taxes, since the U.S. is obviously incapable of even beginning to rein in its degenerate financial system—which is screwing over the entire world—as it’s controlled by the very few people who have a stake in this absurdity.

    This has nothing to do with a CEO or his affairs, but with a failed system that is dragging everyone—who, absurdly, still clings to it—down with it.

    This is not the fault of an CEO with Asian heritage and his mistress; it is what the U.S. system ultimately boils down to. Pinning it all on this case is absolutely indicative of the degenerate white supremacist oligarchy that the U.S. truly is.

      It’s a nice comment with good points. If only it wasn’t written with AI. Ironic in a sense.

          They might be commenting on your frequent and consistent use of em dashes.

            These people are so deluded that they can’t imagine anyone not speaking English as a native language and therefore using a translator for the sake of simplicity.

            It’s pretty sad when you’re so narrow-minded that you’re unable to focus on the content of a statement rather than its form—well, that’s Lemmy for you.

              Admittedly I don’t use translators very often, but I have yet to see them add em dashes. What translator are you using if you don’t mind my asking?

    I’ve been following the reporting on this situation, and I think people need to make an important distinction here.

    As of right now, there is absolutely no publicly substantiated evidence that Jensen Huang used his position as CEO to pressure, coerce, or threaten any of these women into having sexual relationships with him. There have been no reported allegations of quid pro quo arrangements, career advancement being contingent on sex, threats of retaliation, or employees being punished for rejecting his advances.

    What has been reported is that he allegedly had multiple extramarital relationships, including with women who worked under him. That’s certainly a corporate ethics issue, particularly given the inherent power imbalance between a CEO and his subordinates. But it is not automatically evidence of sexual exploitation.

    As far as the publicly available reporting establishes, these were relationships, and there is no established evidence that they were anything other than consensual. We shouldn’t manufacture victims or invent allegations simply because we disapprove of someone’s personal conduct.

    You can criticize Huang for infidelity, poor executive judgment, and potentially serious conflicts of interest without escalating the story into sexual coercion allegations that nobody has actually substantiated.

    There’s a pretty significant difference between having an affair with an employee and holding someone’s career hostage in exchange for sex. Let’s not pretend those are the same thing.
