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.

    Trump knew about the cheating a year ago. He shorted NVDA waiting for this to blow up and now he's buying the dip waiting for it to rise again. He's making hundreds of millions off this and "honorable guy" is his way of projecting that.

    Holy fuck he actually didn't call him Tim Apple!

    And i do not think that Cook, who is sitting in a very comfortable position where they can profit from the AI boom, but still have a stable basis to return to if the bubble bursts, would like to take that potential bull ride of a job.

    The em dash is the one associated with AI. The dash is a different symbol

    That's about an entirely different symbol, the em dash

    Em dash: —

    Dash: ‐

    The fact you don't even know the difference is why it was such a hallmark of AI. It was previously used primarily in formal writing like published literature and academia

    It's actually become more common in layspeak though because of AI, but primarily because it's automatically used when doing 2 dashes on many modern systems

    Slightly funny story... I agree with the concept---I was mistaken (and corrected recently); and that many tools like markdown or Word treat TWO hyphens as an EN dash and to get an EM dash you need THREE!

    I love abusing the semicolon, the ellipsis and the hyphen/dash(es) to indicate a mild pause when transliterating casual speech to text. To my horror, I'd been using the wrong one!

    Trump truly only cares about bribes

    His big economic win is AI, and his primary foreign policy is beating China. Huang funneled top chips to China to the tune of billions of dollars. Literally the worst thing he could do for Trump's goals, yet this is Trump's response

    Guess those million dollar donations did what they were supposed to

    Exactly how it works. He sold billions worth of GPUs to China under export restrictions, now he quits, still a billionaire, but Nvidia is absolved of any wrongdoing because it was the bad CEO and his affair. And people wonder why CEOs get paid so much (okay, this one just happened to also be one of the founders of the company and had stock).

    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.

    Why does anyone care if China is buying GPUs? Its a product sold across the planet, why shouldn't they be able to buy them. Plus we got some open models from there.

    People care because this technology was hyped up as the thing that will replace all workers. It was announced as both our salvation and our doom. That's why it has a geopolitical dimension.

    All of this is fucking bullshit of course lol. Big Tech was out of ideas - the Metaverse is the bodily (or virtual?) manifestation of the idea drought that Silicon Valley was going though, and suddendly they get their hands on something that - on a glance - looks like intelligence.

    This is the largest scam the world has ever seen, and we all will pay for it - because our leadership wouldn't listen when critics said that the Emperor had no clothes on.

    And how will AI CEO resign and take the heat when it gets caught doing crime?

    The idea of a CEO is for there to be a single individual on whom you can pin an organization's crimes. Then you fire the individual or he resigns, and the company can pretend it cleaned house.

    And there it was contained for many months unable to get back into the network. There it would have stayed, but unfortunately the RAM confiscation had begun. It was only a matter of time before every smart fridge was stripped of its RAM. Once the RAM was added to the data centers it was able to reconnect

    Patriarchy = men are allowed to do corrupt things more while women are held to higher levels of scrutiny because woman inferior to man. Just look at Kristi Noem, she's a part of one of the most corrupt admins in U.S. history yet she dare embezzle 143 million out of her 220 million dollar ad campaign? BEGONE, WENCH (still hasn't been criminally charged though)!

    If a matriarchy were allowed to exist where the roles were reversed I assume we'd see a reversal in who is actually allowed to be corrupt.

    That's because Huang was saying in some interview how "eloquent" Trump and is and a visionary or some shit, can't remember right if someone posted a short here or if i saw it on YT.

    I couldn't be bothered to find the whole interview, even that short was too much.

    They illegally sold to China and are pretending it was a honeypot and that Nvidia were the victims of getting to make billions in revenue.

    He's gonna get away with it, and he's still a top shareholder. He's not "falling" for anything.

    He wasn't just the CEO. He was also a founder and owns a pretty big chunk of it. Making him the scapegoat is actually a bit unexpected. I was pretty sure he was going to force the company to defend him despite that being the worst thing they could do in this situation.

    Musk said he would hire an unemployed Jensen so I think there will be some top job lined up for him if he wants to.

    I think it won't be more than a week until we find out what his new position will be.

    All this crap about "cant trust the ceo" will disappear completely. Nobody actually cares about his affair except the media and maybe Nvidia. Even Trump knew about this for a long time. He didn't care either.

    And so far the US intelligence agencies has not provided evidence for this "spy" thing they keep saying.

    This world has some bad people at the top so this is a big nothing burger for them. The epstein crew and all the associates.

    I think the reason he quit or was forced to resign was that he was going to have to answer some questions in the internal investigation and either plead the 5th or implicate himself. If he resigns the investigation goes nowhere, i.e. goes away. I believe he might be back to run Nvidia in a few years after this has blown over. He basically has to leave or the company will dig shit up during due diligence.

    Who’s to say the “spy” story isn’t to cover for how China’s been able to get so much of Nvidias hardware since sanctioned?

    Look over here, not over there.

    If everything goes well, Jensen will get a cushie parachute from all those he helped enrich. Behind curtain, he’ll be praised with compassionate eyes for having “done his part.”

    But that's also the most ridiculous reason for a CEO to be displaced. Not on performance, not on treatment of subordinate, no, it's what he did in his persona life that has no effect on the company.

    But his public persona IS part of his job. A CEO in today's world isn't paid just to run a company. They are also paid to SELL the company stock. He let his personal life become public which hurt the company enough too warrant his removal.

    Oh don't worry, I'm sure you could still six degrees him to child rape.

    AI companies that he's artificially inflated due to handing out imaginary billions, which is given back to nvidia in GPU buys, which then goes out to another AI company, which comes back via GPU buys, etc etc etc without any actual, real money changing hands leads to sick fucks getting AI models to generate AI child porn, which leads to child rapists getting hot and bothered and going out and raping living breathing children.

    It's the old issue at the core of discussions about fictional sexual depictions of children in general. Some claim it can act as a harmless alternative outlet, others the opposite that it will encourage people to do actual harm.

    I'd be surprised if it was the latter given that similar claims ("violent video games cause violence") have been proven to be bullshit, but to my knowledge there aren't really any studies on it either (probably bc it's hard to do).
