      Throwing it all away?

      Even after losing his job and the divorce settlement he’ll be one of the wealthiest people on the planet and to ever live.

      It’s not like this is China where they will actually jail or execute CEO’s.

      Capital still runs the show.

            It’s the federal organisation protects a persons right to get caught fucking animals enough to be legally prosecuted for it and then still join said organisation.

          I’m sure Kash Patel, the Trump DOJ, and an organization that has heavily functioned to preserve existing political and economic hierarchies will go thru the motions and corporate Dems will hold their hearings and make a pageantry of some things. And the result will be at best, a big wet fart, and at most, it will just be directed in a way that will end up advancing broader capitalist/imperialist interests.

          Like say putting much stricter controls on the sale of AMD/Nvidia chips which will conveniently benefit all the AI companies who want China and even consumers to have less access to the underlying components of this tech. Which is the one area Jenson was at odds with AI. Open weight and broad access to AI is good for Nvidia, but not for the AI companies.

            That’s a requirement to achieve that level of corporate control. And that’s what shareholders require.

            The only CEOs that seem to avoid that are founders that accidentally created systems/products that people like, and that keep the company private so they aren’t beholden to shareholders. There aren’t many, but a good current example would probably be GabeN. Yeah he’s got the whole billionaire yacht stuff down, but the employees seem to like working there, they have an extremely loyal userbase, and one of the most efficiently profitable companies on the planet, generating about $50M per worker.

        Honest question, why should I give a shit that some CEO wanted to sell GPU’s to China?

        Of all the things I would want to see an American CEO put into jail for, selling GPU’s to China(which everyone knew was happening) and being semi in favor of China’s open weight AI development strategy that would be better from a consumer perspective is close to the bottom of that list.

        Put the CEO’s in jail for systematically exploiting global south labor for decades. For colluding to bribe politicians and override democratic processes to force data centers into communities. For stealing more productive human output in a few years then all the labor theft in the whole history of capitalism.

          I don’t care about the exact reason why he might be going to prison, nor do I really care about selling stuff to china, but what I have been excited about is the possibility of a ceo going to prison for breaking the law. If the crime happens to be selling stuff to china, so be it

            The only time people in the capitalist class are truly punished in America is if they defraud other capitalists or threaten the broader imperialist policies meant to protect US hegemonic capitalism…Enron, Savings and Loans, and Bernie Madoff.

            So if he receives anything, based on history, it will be because of that and would be little more than a pyrrhic victory.

            Certainly not a sign that suddenly healthcare CEOs will be dragged to the firing squads for denying cancer treatments to patients to boost shareholder value. Or that America’s institutions set up to protect this system are on the cusp of a reckoning over decades of imperialist exploitation.

              Yea I mean the chances aren’t high, but there are also political games going on that are giving me a tiny bit of hope. From what i’ve heard, the possible prosecutors (or whatever, I forgot who exactly has the power to put him in prison) are anti-trump republicans, who could use this case to distance themselves from trump (Jensen is a “buddy” of trump). Yea, the odds are slim, but they are probably as big as they could get

              Edit: and i guess one could argue that nvidia has commited a bit of fraud, as they have used illegal means to increase revenue, thus lied about the long-term profitability of the company

            And then he “died”.

            Either he’s actually dead, in which case he wasn’t punished for what he did, but for threatening to expose other powerful people, or he’s alive and living in exile.

            Probably the former, but when it comes to the wealthy and powerful, I won’t rule anything out.

            Eventually and after much outcry. Don’t forget that the first case against him in the 2000s was made to go away - including providing legal immunity to Epstein and any potential co-conspirators - and the guy responsible was later given a position in Trump’s cabinet until the whole thing went public.

          Could be Jensen was bribing the US president to sell chips to China and taking advantage of the period of any politician is openly for sale, but now with the power shift of the House and Senate and possible investigations.

          It felt more prudent to get ahead of the story before January when the new elected official take their seats. Maybe he’ll buy a pardon.

          Please don’t give them any more ideas lol, what OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic want is exactly more stuff like this.

          They want a “moat” around their services. Protected by the most powerful government in the world, the US.

          Almost everything these companies have done has been an attempt to keep this tech and it’s supply chain as closed and proprietary as possible.

          Hell, Sam Altman is out there saying the quiet part out loud that they don’t even want consumers to have direct access to things like ram anymore.

          And frankly, I wouldn’t be shocked if the reason this is happening is for that very reason. A justification they can carve out to justify letting Nvidia stock fall as they simultaneously lock down the tech in a way only US AI companies will be able to easily use it.

          I think like almost everything else America does it will bite us in the ass longterm, but this is directly giving the AI companies what they want. And I suspect we are on the road to that happening.

      She did what? I mean, the sex I can understand; it’s all part of the job if you’re in the spy business. But complimenting that jacket is… just too degrading.

      Other than that, I know losing your job in this economy is tough, but I don’t think Huang is going to have too much trouble paying his mortgage for a few lifetimes. I am so sorry for his family, though.

      he hasn’t really thrown much away. this just gets him out of the public eye a little bit. he still keeps getting paid. he only loses his salary which constituted like 4% of his income. He’s doing this because he knows if nvidia’s stock continues to tank, the majority of his income and most importantly… his 100+ bil worth of stock value… also tanks.
