I really hope he isn't replaced by someone worse. At least Huang was good to his employees.

If this doesn't mean graphics cards will get cheaper or more expensive I can't say I care
What's the angle here? He made a ton of money for his shareholders. Including by lobbying for allowing sales to China as well as closing his eyes while different firms were smuggling GPUs. Why would the board get rid of him? This whole thing looks really unusual.
I think the smuggling and the general desire to continue exporting to China is the key here, and that Alice Huang being a spy is bullshit. I think she’s a chip smuggler, something that the Chinese state has been trying to curtail, because it wants to develop its own domestic chip industry that’s no longer depended on Western chip manufacturers. That’s why millions of NVIDIA chips are currently quarantined at Hong Kong ports.
I think this is a fight between two factions of big capital, one that wants to constrain China and another that wants to continue profiting from China.
This is exactly China's plan. As much as capitalists hate communism they love profit more. It's genius tbh.

Do you think that fight is being expressed in this NVIDIA-internal hullabaloo about investigating and potentially Huang? I feel like the capital that wants to constrain China wouldn't be invested in NVIDIA and would do it through the state apparatus.
For sleeping with an executive that reports directly to him. Comments I’d take with a grain of salt implied she might have attained her position by sleeping with Jensen, and that very much violates company policy.
You aren’t wrong though. It’d be stupid to fire him over the smuggling thing, as long as the DOJ isn’t pressing charges either.

most of the epstein class wants to choke off china like they're doing to cuba atm and huang is very inconvenient to the rn because of this -- it's not an accident that he suddenly can't be in the room w trump and jinping because he's been summoned to testify.
That is a hostile takeover if I ever see one.
Good, fuck Jensen Huang. I hope his wife files for divorce next
Good, fuck Jensen Huang.
Good news, someone already did. Two someones, in fact.
Maybe he should have kept his dick in his pants?
This is a hit job by neoconservatives & liberal internationalists. If he’d kept it in his pants, then they would have just found some other way to take him out.
CEOs are figureheads and faces that don’t matter that much ultimately. But the damage done by the face of the company compromising it to this degree is immeasurable.
Jensen literally founded the company, and helped design the original GPU. He made some incredibly critical long-term decisions, like pushing CUDA and some architectural features, even when they wouldn’t pay out for years.
Many report directly to him.
…By all accounts, he is rather critical for Nvidia. I don’t mean to glaze him, but TBH some generic CEO would run Nvidia to the ground in no time.
Um, no?
CEOs get high-level direction from the board of directors. “We want to see increased sales in India.” Could be an example.
It is up to the CEO to act on that, passing directions down through the C-Suite towards managers and regular employees.
Their compensation is usually very high, you think a figurehead is getting $50m a year to do nothing and have sex with employees?
Can't come soon enough this traitor must go.
Wow, potentially the first affair (set of affairs?) that will lead to a recession. How exciting.
I’ll volunteer to lead it. And I won’t even bang a spy.
Despite his indiscretions, he is an amazing leader. I doubt they'll find one better. I'm sad for the employees, he always made sure they were taken care of, insisted that NVIDIA never do layoffs. I'm worried that whomever they find to replace him will be your typical psychopath CEOs, putting employees last.
Not a popular opinion on Lemmy, but I'm not about to start lying
It’s hard to appreciate a wealthy corpo egregiously pumping up the bubble and ruining the consumer market for pc enthusiasts.
Well-Huang… well Huang… I mean: well, Huang seems to have a way with the ladies.
No surprise Xi opted for the honey pot play.
What about his jackets, so they get to stay?
