So when Musk sleeps with anything with 3 adjacent holes it's fine, the one asian nerd screws two women and is ousted imnmediately. Yet people think there's nothing behind this?

Mind you, when these affairs happened is also literally when he took the company to 5T market cap

Anyway, Nvidia is screwed.

The news likes to talk about the affair angle because it gets the most clicks, not because "Jensen had sex with someone other than his wife" is the most concerning problem in the story. It'll still rile up some, but it's not the main "why" he was ousted/stepped down.

It's also not an either or. I.e. obviously this only came to light because he's a high value target (from various angles). But obviously it's not right to violate export controls or create conflicts of interest either.

Elon has flown a bit close to the sun a few times but he's a combination of transparent enough about his lunacy that surprise can't be the main angle and manages to keep enough distance between major events.

Nobody thinks Grimes is a Canadian agent trying to steal crucial infrastructure for Big Maple Syrup

That's just what she (and "Big Maple") wants you to think!

Are you really calling women the way you called them ?

Jensen Huang just chose himself over the demands of the world.

The mans a Jungian gangsta.

He'll be back like the Terminator.

KALSHI: Where will Jensen Huang work next this year?

Heh - "Urgent: How do I disable a CEO's account without disabling production":

Jensen, even after decades, remained deeply involved in many operational decisions with 40+ direct reports. He had a long-term mindset, investing heavily in Tegra and CUDA in 2009-2010, even as he was plagued by write-offs from faulty chips.

This is a terrible decision for NVIDIA and the broader economy. Despite his personal mishaps, he should be judged primarily on value creation for shareholders.

lmao spoken like a true shareholder

So what, does that imply OP is right that Huang is the best person to lead the company and efforts to pressure him to step down are just people trying to cancel him over his sexual escapades?

Someone with an actual long term mindset wouldn't have slept with a suspected PRC spy, while simultaneously flouting the intent of export control laws, and setting his company up for federal smuggling probes, and congressional investigations.

Someone with an actual long term mindset and who had the interests of the company would have groomed one or more successors, and, if, for some reason, they felt they were indispensable, would have probably avoided jeopardizing the company by allegedly having an affair with a subordinate.

There are plenty of people in the world to sleep with besides subordinates and spies. Failing the most basic of marshmallow tests is not a indication of a consistent long-term mindset.

Jensen is a colorful, important figure in the history of technology. He did make many solid long term bets. But if the company falls apart because of his reckless actions, that that's on him too.

And if it doesn't fall apart, then the credit goes to him for resigning.

To go full devils avocado: Surely a CEO selling more chips isn't a bad thing for his company?

All I've seen is his personal relationships drama and advocating for softening of useless export laws that didn't stop a single CPU or GPU get into China in the first place, selling to Megaspeed is hardly anything unlike what AMD or other suppliers does right now.

It's a hitjob and he probably could have fought it but chose not to.

Much like the broken unenforced rules that lets OpenAI/ycombinator sell trillions upon trillions of tokens into China each week despite all the export restriction laws against them doing it.

You really think the Chinese can't pay and access ChatGPT/Anthropic/Google premium models today?

Polymarket has the "Chinese Spy" being charged under US law at 11%

Where do you think that someone who is surrounded by bodyguards, always traveling, and working 7 days a week is going to meet someone normal?

I’m not even a billionaire, but the only people I interact with are people who I work with or who insert themselves into my life because they want something.

it's jensover

Apologies, but I don't really get why these issues are being exposed all over so awfully about the person life of the poor person who is getting ashamed, reputation getting damaged, and what's more important, his wonderful personal, private life is getting exposed and preserved in the history...

These lovely cases must still be approached with pure respect for private life of everyone, and understanding, because we all are human who have feelings, and this is absolutely normal to make mistakes in love sometimes trying...

Relationships, affairs, love... this is personal and must be respected. These are some of the most complex subjects, if not the most... and infinitely magnificent feelings... where sometimes the heart and hope wins over rational actions...

Yet, this is true for every single human, isn't it? This is true about me, I believe, too. This is true about people I know in overly serious and responsible positions at critical decisions for business and lives of other people... and they know that, and stay careful.

And these cases, vulnerabilities, or operational risks... are also covered on military classes, as leadership and security awareness courses, to stay responsible for actions and consider the future - to remind that you must always evaluate the long term consequences, to the point to decide quickly in full action.

This is matter of the heart... human emotions... infinitely powerful aspects of human nature... the dear love... There's nothing to be ashamed of.

Yes, you must stay truthful to your half... the ring bound promise, which is a miracle if from love... But it is fundamentally... absolutely normal, awesome to try searching for your soulmate if you don't have peace at heart, making mistakes, trying hard...

Such public cases are either designed for public (e.g., to derail attention from something more important), or those that get out of control, which is relatively rare, I believe.

It is rare to get exposed on public since these relationships are known to limited number of people, aren't they? So samizdat is rarely responsible for it, and mass publishers are normally supervised by governments, which is expected for them to stay responsible for control of events.

Even if circumstances and consequences may be monumentally tragic or overly serious, this is love which is no less serious, and miraculously lovely awesome...

And I just heartfelt sorry for the person to receive so much shame, hatred, mockering, hostility, ridiculing from public... for just his attempts to find love, his peace at heart...

There is no shame in that, I believe, absolutely. This is his business to be not exposed so disgracefully on public.

This is a miracle to proud of, to understand, and respect always.

Sincere heartwarming hug, dear Jensen... I am... sorry... for the people to ridicule on it you nor anyone deserved...

Everyone wants to think they’re morally superior, that they wouldn’t do the same. Newsflash people, having sexual desires is a very natural human thing, it’s wired into us all. He made a very human mistake and now his personal life is on display for the world to read about. I feel sorry for him.

How do you know he did it "for love and peace at heart?"

People coming at this are coming from the opposite assumption: that he's a billionaire and uses that power to fuel an appetite for lust.

I mean, if you look at the evidence, that's what the narrative supports. Both those affairs - one with Alice and one with Kimberley - overlapped in time. It's not that he fell head over heels for someone and pined for them - it's that he didn't resist the temptation to prioritize getting laid over getting love.

Further, matters of the heart are less important than doing the right thing. You don't date a direct report, period. It's unethical for everyone involved, and affects everyone of that woman's coworkers.

I am not saying there's no complexities in matters of the heart. I'm just saying this case is simple, and black and white, and not an excuse for us to turn off our eyes and ears.

He resigned to spend more time with his families.

Maybe it's all just staged so he can play GTA VI in peace?

Come on, that's conspiracy thinking.

Ocarina of time, on the other hand...

My guess is that he's grinding Metroid Dread so he can get those mechanics down before Metroid Ravenous drops.

Comments moved thither. Thanks!

It seems to me that he had two choices, the company or the family, he chooses the latter,i hope that's why he resigned.

His family works at the company.
