Kids are not subordinates or chinese intelligence, so they wouldn't even move the needle in 'newsworthiness' in this sad state of affairs.

That's one affair, the other is with one of his subordinates.

Less about the sex, more about the unfair leverage one would have over others by virtue of the sex.

The affairs themselves are a salacious twist on the vulnerability to espionage and the other affair was with an Nvidia exec, which is a huge office politics no no and corporate sharks are circling..

Basically every time there is bad news and a decline in any major stock I see a rush of people on Lemmy (to be fair, everywhere) proclaiming how, um, actually whatever just went bad is good and looks a lot better if (add tortured logic here).

There is an element of "the market does well as long as everything thinks it does well", and a lot of people working hard to keep that self fulfilling prophecy rolling.

Wager there's a lot of room for this to happen, a popular thing in companies to show they care is a pledge to match up to some nominal amount donated by employees to the same cause.

I do wonder if some of these companies attach a "don't credit us" clause, since they are leaving it to the employees to pick causes, they might not want to get associated with a cause just at the whim of a random employee.

Or at least some employees do. At some companies it happens unofficially because the company actively forbids or requires an onerous approval process to contribute to open source.

I get a bit ticked off that companies get credit for contribution or projects and the individuals actively behind those contributions and projects are largely uncredited, especially when it only happens against the wishes of the company, that retroactively decides it's good press to take credit for their employees' work.

To be fair, most of that was before this revelation. It is at least clear that the so-called "neocloud" part of the bubble was in trouble, which dragged Nvidia since a lot of their money is tied up in those neoclouda. Then after elections included a lot of anti datacenter measures, that doesn't bode well either. This scandal is just another thing for the pile of bad news.

Also how the cup does a little fall over then rights itself strangely. AI slop can do things.

It is not.

Thanks, I changed my bank account to have 100 million dollars with that one weird trick.

Don't even joke, I would not be surprised if our security team latched onto this unironically.
