    The cheating is not the issue, that is between him and his wife. The alleged export ban evasion and potential smuggling is.

    Can we please stop focusing on the infidelity?

      Hard disagree. Cheating with a spy is something he probably couldn’t have known, so that’s still between him and his wife. Cheating with a subordinate got me though. I’m not saying you can’t fall in love with your employee and they can’t fall in love with their boss, but the hierarchy involved in there gives the whole thing some tough dynamics. Remember Louis CK? This was in his statement about his sexual misconduct:

      But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.

      And it’s true.

      That’s part of the reason why so many companies (including nvidia) have rules against this kind of thing. You want to fuck your hot department boss? Fine, but move to another department first. Don’t shit where you eat. That’s why I think it’s much more dramatic for him to have started an affair with his employee than the whole spy story. The Chinese might have fooled him, but I can’t see how he’s to blame for that. But being the boss of a big ass company with rules that say you can’t fuck your employees should mean he shouldn’t have fucked his employees.

      The ban was mostly a way to stifle open source and give a few AI juggernauts an easier monopoly. He did us a favor on that one.

      What we should be talking about is Nvidia’s current quasi-monopoly and how they use it with or without Jensen (prices, nerfing their own cards, creating artificial scarcity or too of the regular scarcity, probably collusion at multiple levels, etc). The regular stuff that doesn’t involve China or Jenson’s sexcapades is worse imo.

        It seems a lot of the illegally smuggled chips ended up in Russian drones used against Ukraine.

        But you do you.

            Russia has been using NVIDIA Jetson boards in their drones. I’m guessing for autonomous capable drones for computer vision/navigation in GPS and radio denied environments.

      Damn straight. Immoral though it may be, illegal it’s not. The export ban evasion is.

      I mean, being a CEO is a job of showing good judgment and trust as well. And those qualities are damaged when this is revealed.

    Not very presidential at all! Good move quitting. Nod had he been a proper 80 year old pedo, then sure, keep going. But just a pervy 70 year old doesn’t seem fair.

    Cheating is still cheating. Doesn’t matter how you spin it. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
