two extramarital affairs
Two that we know of, so far.
Can US prez be ousted for the same thing…except with epstein? I mean this dude just makes GPUs…wtf? He could be making tacos at the street corner, but he can’t sell taco’s because he’s having sex that’s not aligned with christian values.
It took them this long to figure out that maybe he can’t be trusted? I’m not overwhelmed with confidence in Nividia’s board.
I think it would be silly to argue that they only figured that out know, or that they genuinely think that his affairs are what make him untrustworthy.
They could easily try to play it off and most people probably wouldn’t give a dime. They’d hear about it in the news, discuss it in social media and with their friends, but would anybody stop using LLMs because of it? Would any significant amount of people sell NVIDIA stock “just” because he had an affair (or two or three or…)?
I am not trying to defend him, but I genuinely do not think that the business side of NVIDIA would actually be affected by this.
However, how else could the NVIDIA board even go about firing Jensen Huang from his own company without a publicly disclosed affair with a Chinese spy or a similar situation? I don’t think they could, even if some people on the board or in the company were unhappy with him.
And to wrap back around to my first point: Maybe this covers up for something else? Why would they want to fire their CEO that has been printing them loads and loads of cash and will probably continue to do so for the next few years? I am not convinced that the board actually cares about him having an affair with that Chinese spy, but I obviously am just talking out of my a** lol
It makes sense for the company to distance themselves from Jensen about the GPU smuggling.
It’s not like Jensen himself is out there dealing the smuggled goods. The board likely knows, I am guessing it’s more of a disagreement between the guy who holds lot of power and the board who wants more control. Those money hungry fucks would defend Jensen claiming it was legal if it was in their interest, they have the layers for it. Of course, all we can do is just speculate, and wait and see.
Will nvidia be a decent company without Jensen?
Why are governments and corporations so often framed as being dictatorships these days? Aside from the daft celebrity angle it attracts, it seems to just be a way of applying the blame to only one person, somewhat allowing the corporation, or political party, to get away with whatever they want.
This is in no way meant to defend Jensen, he should have been shot into space a long time ago.
Some of the most powerful corporations are effectively dictatorships. Zuckerberg holds controlling interest of Meta. Controlling interest in Alphabet (Google) is held by Page and Brin. Musk dominates his boards. Ellison and Bezos maintain control over Oracle and Amazon, respectively, as overwhelmingly wealthy executive chairmen. After the OpenAI board voted Sam Altman out, which is their right, he staged a coup to keep his job, like a dictator would.
However, most corporations are properly overseen by their boards, including Microsoft and Apple.
lmao
Jensen took the phrase “fuck AI” too literally.
Which seems like a cop out considering the bad press NVIDIA has received over stocks and the failure of AI. Why not just boycott them entirely? The stupidity of one billionaire should not distract from the real focus.
** Puts on tin foil hat ** Maybe that is the plan, use this as a distraction from all their other nonsense.
