    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.

      “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.

          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.

      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.

          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).

            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.

          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.

      Musk said he would hire an unemployed Jensen so I think there will be some top job lined up for him if he wants to.

      I think it won’t be more than a week until we find out what his new position will be.

      All this crap about “cant trust the ceo” will disappear completely. Nobody actually cares about his affair except the media and maybe Nvidia. Even Trump knew about this for a long time. He didn’t care either.

      And so far the US intelligence agencies has not provided evidence for this “spy” thing they keep saying.

      This world has some bad people at the top so this is a big nothing burger for them. The epstein crew and all the associates.

        I think the reason he quit or was forced to resign was that he was going to have to answer some questions in the internal investigation and either plead the 5th or implicate himself. If he resigns the investigation goes nowhere, i.e. goes away. I believe he might be back to run Nvidia in a few years after this has blown over. He basically has to leave or the company will dig shit up during due diligence.

            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.

      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 seniormanagement 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.

    Steve from GamersNexus must be laughing his ass off right now, especially because the stream of GPUs into China wasn’t a very well kept secret thanks to him and his team. If things happen on low levels like buying single GPUs off of private citizens to move them to China, it would be pretty dense to believe that the chinese government doesn’t have a much bigger scheme running.

        This is the largest scam the world has ever seen, and we all will pay for it - because our leadership wouldn’t listen when critics said that the Emperor had no clothes on.
