Nobody in his position turns tail like that, that quickly unless they have something serious they’re afraid of.
That’s just how CEOs get fired, they want him gone and they want it done cleanly and he probably wants to keep some of his company shares. The alternative is he hangs around and he gets fired for real which is of no benefit to him.
He was probably getting fired by the board otherwise, and I’m just guessing but there is probably a bigger penalty for being fired than stepping down.
That, and possibly a whole slew of other, more fucked up behavior, possibly also dragging others, and possibly the entire company down
I feel like there’s more to this. NVIDIA already knew he was doing all this shit but just it’s a problem?
Stay tuned. He’s about to take to blame for something much bigger.
New nVidia CEO: Lisa Su
New AMD CEO: Jensen Huang
problem solved!
Haha.
That’s pretty much what happened in the '80s with Commodore and Atari.Don’t give them any ideas.
Plot twist: Lisa marry Jensen and the two decides to destroy Nvidia together.
They’re cousins lol
Epstein club would approve.
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
EDO ram is probably cheap by now… You can probably have all of it
actually EDO is more expensive because of the retrogamers and not being made anymore. About 4x the price of DDR-400 for 128mb. They get you comin’ and goin’.
I’m sure there is a bargain bin somewhere. Surely ddr1 is cheap lol
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.
I’d say that AI can be useful, but not necessarily in the way it’s being marketed and possibly not profitably so for most anyone who’s not selling the hardware it runs on…
Exactly. Three years ago when funding intensified the promise was AGI. Now that it’s been made clear we’re not moving past really powerful LLMs anytime soon the gap between the promise and what was delivered needs to be corrected.
tbh i have a theory that the ai bubble itself is what’s holding us up. the llm angle has been explored deeply and optimised to ridiculous levels. what we got out of it is an incredibly powerful tool, but it’s not agi yet. it does have the ability to absorb a lot of skills though, both with deliberate training and with incidental exposure during training, so teaching it new tricks is probably going to be a thing all the way until we reach agi, but imo we’re not getting to agi just by building larger llms.
but the problem is, that’s literally the only thing that’s happening today at any reasonable scale. llms have become the same kind of safe investment slop that reboots and sequels are in media, sure it’s guaranteed to be mediocre (in this case, by being expensive to run and having relatively little advantage over existing stuff) but at least there’s very little chance they will fail outright. real r&d, on the other hand, is inherently risky, but it’s how real progress gets made.
after the crash, hardware will be (relatively) cheap and plentiful, both to own and to rent online, and we’ll see investment sour on llms. that will finally open the door for moving past them and finding the next thing. and if agi will ever be made, that’s how it will be made, not by training ever larger llms just to distil them back to the same scale as before with minor tweaks to how attention works. which is pretty much what has been happening in the past 2-3 years.
Regardless of what it is, it’s not worth the cost.
There were headlines about NFTs and beanie babies too
😆
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
Why reason with it?
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?
mostly by having the market run out of money to shovel into the ai companies. which is already happening in parallel to this, it’s just difficult to tell how long it’s gonna take.
afaik the anthropic ipo next week is the next potential trigger point
Pussy remains undefeated.
Maybe I’m evil, but I’m just happy that he’s not raping children.
The bar is very low these days
*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.
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.
Sorry, but that argument still sounds wayyy too much like “video games cause x”.
“How dare you say that my AI Child Porn makes me a threat to real children!”
that’s musk, not jensen
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.
It’s fairly obviously two degrees, if not one.
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.
Quite probable.
Well that ship’s well off shore holding tiny people waving to you, eh?
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?
Their own people.
They use arms against their students and they are starving their Uyghurs
They don’t give a shit about that. He made the stock price move the wrong direction and that is unforgivable.
But the stock went down because people care about him putting his wee wee in the wrong hole.
What he did with her is again whatever. It’s the fact that she is connected to China and that might cause problems because of the export bans. Even if his relationship with her was platonic it would still be a problem.
“Meets with Chinese spy” is just as bad of a headline as " fools around with Chinese spy"
It probably wouldn’t be as big a deal if it were a platonic relationship. The reason the sex matters is that sex tends to lead to people making bad decisions. Also, the fact that it’s an affair matters because lying and sex in secret also is associated with bad decisions.
If he were in a platonic relationship with her but they were caught doing heroin together, that might also be a big deal because drugs also lead to bad decisions. Illegal drugs done in secret would be an even bigger deal.
Oh hell no, as soon as there’s some sex in it the story sells. Suddenly it’s a gossip story too.
It does make for great entertainment, though.
If his wife has a problem with it he’s out billions of dolllars and may not get to see his kids much. Many people will do a lot of questionable shit to avoid that outcome
He opened the company up to legal issues. Banging a foreign spy as well as a direct report are both massive legal liabilities.
Line of organized capital must go up.
Fuck humans if line goes up. Fuck humans if line goes down.
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.
US President Donald Trump has called the Nvidia chief ‘an honorable guy’, while congressional leaders call for investigations into national security risks
Honestly, never mind the scandal, I’d investigate Jenson just on this basis. Almost everyone that Trump has ever called “honorable” has had a skeleton hiding in their closet.
Almost everyone that Trump has ever called “honorable” has had a skeleton hiding in their closet.
The rest paraded the skeleton in plain view.
In their closet? Fuck, most of them have been walking around in their Skeletor cosplay, laughing manically while taking candy from babies and punting puppies…
Or more accurately, with masks killing innocent people.
Of course he fucking knew. He doesn’t actually care if China gets the tech, he just wants to be seen as being “Tough on China.” That’s it, that’s the play, and he abso-fucking-lutely knew they were breaking the law.
I mean, Trump can relate. Don’t forget he had a Chinese spy at Mar-a-Lago a few years back when he was hiding top secret and classified documents in the shitter.
Trump knew about the cheating a year ago. He shorted NVDA waiting for this to blow up and now he’s buying the dip waiting for it to rise again. He’s making hundreds of millions off this and “honorable guy” is his way of projecting that.
Pretty weak argument to base an investigation on.
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
…there has been a third?
There are rumors of him having an affair with another coworker, so that’s the third. At this rate I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be dozens over the years
lmao
y’know, i used to think that we would get android girlfriends because jensen huang is 62 and you know he wants to bang a robot while he still can. i didn’t expect that the way this would lose its relevance is through him losing his position as ceo, but it’s indeed a very jensen way for him to do it
although now that he’s not saddled with managing nvidia, he can go and focus on it. like he’s still a billionaire
