The way i see it, there are really only two possible outcomes, either he did divulge secrets to a spy, and that’ll be a big problem for him, or he didn’t divulge any secrets but still shows he got played by a spy. Either way, he’ll probably step down as CEO, but the big issue is there’s no clear line of succession in the org, so it’s all a bit messy.

I am not a lawyer but statements from Nvidia from a week ago were clearly false. When this started to come to light, there were official press statements which we now know were known to be false: https://abcnews.com/US/nvidia-responds-report-ceo-allegedly-targeted-chinese-spy/story?id=137704250

In a statement to ABC News, a Nvidia spokesperson said Jensen Huang “talks with thousands of customer executives every year.”

“Jensen’s interactions with Ms. Huang are not unusual or unexpected,” the statement read. “Meetings with customers are part of a CEO’s job.”

At the very least, anyone who bought shares of Nvidia stock after this statement was made and now was deceived by the company’s statements, and is probably going to be part of a class action case.

The problem is that booking a private cab for your hotdog without exploiting workers and paying a fair wage to the drivers ends up being very expensive. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for drivers getting a living wage, but IMO the Doordash / UberEats business model only works if you exploit the drivers, and the best thing we can do is to not use those services (or use services that pay a fair wage and don’t complain about inflated prices).

Quite the opposite of what Nvidia said in a statement just a week ago.

Considering the impact to the stock price, I wonder if the SEC will get involved since Nvidia provided a false statement.

Yes, that act made her eligible to receive The John McCain Award for Doing the Right Thing Only One Time award

This was amazing, thanks!!

DEATH BY SNU SNU!

did you not even read it

The article is paywalled so it’s possible they didn’t read it. Here’s an archive link if you want to throw this in the description so people can read the article.

I did read it, and if what they’re saying based on the 200k sample size is true, that’s hilarious:

In a surprising twist, one reason Mr. Sullivan doesn’t fare better is that more of the voters who backed the other Dan Sullivan — a candidate named Daniel J. Sullivan Jr., who was recruited by allies of Ms. Peltola to siphon votes from the incumbent — ranked Ms. Peltola as their second choice rather than Mr. Sullivan.

I just hope the margin is big enough that there’s no dispute about people really not waiting Trump’s Dan Sullivan

Reminds me of 2020 election when in some states, Trump was urging the election officials to stop counting ballots, meanwhile urging other states to keep count every ballot.

Bitcoin has Layer-2 (aka Lightning) transactions which happen off chain. The off chain transactions aren’t recorded individually, just the gross amounts to set up funds to go off the chain and then to record the funds coming back onto the chain. Its possible to infer transaction information from timing of amounts going off chain to reconstruct the history, but I;m not sure how practical that is in a real world situation. Other crypto like Monero was designed with more privacy in mind, and is more immune to these types of forensics.

I mean apparently it’s a good way to irreversibly move $6.3 billion very quickly, if you’re into that.

I am pretty sure if you watched your phone, you’d see it go from 1:59 -> 1:00, so you get an extra hour of drinking

Fair warning, there was controversy with archive.today / archive.is but it does reliably have the best coverage to bypass the paywalls, and doesn’t do the DDoSing anymore as far as I’m aware.

I mean I am pretty glad i had crypto leftover in 2012 after using the silk road which turned in to a nice chunk of change in 2018. But yeah, the whole thing is a pyramid scheme, i hope those who “invested” in 2018 aren’t left on the short end of the stick.

I don’t think that in that case the tentacles made Doc Ock a reverse centaur necessarily, but I see the similarities. The tentacles weren’t doing the thinking, and IIRC the neural link increased Otto’s rage and aggression, and suppressed his emotions and compassion (plus his wife died so he had little to care about). Maybe there needs to be a third term where using the machine as a centaur changes the behavior and brain of the operator?

I like Cory Doctorow’s take on it differentiating the two different classes of machine:

In automation theory, a “centaur” is a person who is assisted by a machine. You’re a human head being carried around on a tireless robot body. Driving a car makes you a centaur, and so does using autocomplete.

And obviously, a reverse centaur is a machine head on a human body, a person who is serving as a squishy meat appendage for an uncaring machine.

Obviously, it’s nice to be a centaur, and it’s horrible to be a reverse centaur.

The AI trend has been pushing all of us to be reverse centaurs which is the problem with machines you’re talking about.
