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.

    Jensen took the phrase “fuck AI” too literally.

    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.

    I mean, they are literally molded after military organizations. Some of the first proto Corporations were mercenary companies, and the language and organizational hierarchy they utilized have remained relatively unchanged.

    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.
