His apology was so pat and by the numbers. You just know he had AI write it.

The actual explanation is “I am rich and famous and thought that should entitle me to whatever sex I want. And I thought I could get away with it.”

“I am rich and famous and thought that should entitle me to whatever sex I want. And I thought I could get away with it.”

Well then he used AI to successfully deflect away from the actual problem. No one cares who fucks who at nVidia, the problem is $2B in chips Megaspeed, his girlfriend's company, sold to China despite export restrictions. The fraud and export violations are the problem here, not little Huang.

Something else no one seems to be talking about. Nvidia's chips are made in Taiwan by TSMC. What happens if China invades in the next year or two? Which is probably very high on the minds of Chinese leadership because they'll never have another opportunity, hopefully, where our military has been degraded by the incompetence of Pete Hegseth and a president who can be talked into anything by saying "Sir, you're a great and strong leader chosen by God. And here's some really delicious chocolate cake".

This is why I own some Intel shares despite not having any faith they will catch up to any of its competitors. China might make it so that it doesn't need to catch up.

stealing a joke I read somewhere:

-Nvidia shared plummeted, first because midterm elections, and then because CEOs erections.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 11 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It is going to be funny if the AI bubble ends up popping due to the CEO of Nvidia wanting some strange.

Best possible scenario, imo, for the memes.

I grew up on tech and I'll be the first one to say it's all bogus today. Efficiency is dead.

Proving once again you can still pick a man's lock using his own dick or the tip of his ego.

That is a fantastic way to phrase social engineering, it gave me a good chuckle

Why do they care if China gets their IP? Isnt Nvidia done making consumer grade electronics?

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

There is more money to be made in commercial hardware than in consumer.

If all those datacenters get access to a lower cost equivalent that'll poke a hole in Nvidia's profits (and therefore shareholder value).

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

And will bring more hardware to the market and bring down prices. Let's go Chinaaaa

[–] TeaWithDani@lemmy.world 45 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I think the whole honeypot thing is bullshit. Nvidia was selling GPUs to China via intermediaries. They all knew and now this is the story that's an attempt to cover up the fact they did it on purpose for extra profit.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 17 points 14 hours ago

yup seems like a distraciton from all the AI stuff too.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (1 children)

Word is they were funneling data center equipment through Singapore to China.

Yeah that's what I heard that she wasn't a spy per se just a business partner that let them sell chips to China that were banned from getting to China.
