Nobody in his position turns tail like that, that quickly unless they have something serious they're afraid of.

The Chinese honeypot and affair with the married VP is only the tip of the scandal.

He’s been tied to allegations of supplying chips to China in violation of export controls. Possibly 20% of NVIDIAs earnings in the last few years may be attributed to these sales. Without protection from Trump he could be looking at jail time.

This is bigger than people realize with out Jensen, the circular financing that has pumped the AI boom is going away. NVIDIA has underwritten a lot of deals and funding for Anthropic, Oracle, ChatGPT, etc. There may not be an appetite to support this kind of financing with the next exec.

This could be the first domino in a chain that could wipe out this AI bubble we are in.

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.

[–] normalentrance@lemmy.zip 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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.

New nVidia CEO: Lisa Su

New AMD CEO: Jensen Huang

problem solved!

[–] RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 10 hours ago

Haha.
That's pretty much what happened in the '80s with Commodore and Atari.

[–] silicon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 hours ago

Don't give them any ideas.

Plot twist: Lisa marry Jensen and the two decides to destroy Nvidia together.

Epstein club would approve.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] 0verthi@lemmy.zip 17 points 13 hours ago

Damn. He left with a plastic bag in his hand. And a couple of billions richer, almost forgot that part

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 63 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

EDO ram is probably cheap by now.. You can probably have all of it

[–] potamus_zero@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

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'.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I'm sure there is a bargain bin somewhere. Surely ddr1 is cheap lol

[–] ComradeMiao@lemmy.world 18 points 17 hours ago

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.

[–] bollvirtuoso@lemmy.world 20 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

That was fast and without fuss. I wonder what they have on him.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

He was illegally smuggling chips into China. He could be looking at 20-40 years prison time.

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 15 points 15 hours ago

"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.

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

[–] Chivera@lemmy.world 151 points 1 day ago (5 children)

The wee wee part is the cover up for Nvidia selling chips to China under the restrictions.

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 76 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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."

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.

Can't believe he popped the AI bubble with his dick.

[–] Draegur@lemmy.zip 29 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (12 children)

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.

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.
