Can’t believe he popped the AI bubble with his dick.
How else would you pop it?
Jensen Huang is one dumb son of a bitch.
Still going to be rich for life though. Lucky dumb son of a bitch.
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.
Crazy how fast that happened. But was obvious. It’s not about the cheating, it’s about the feds discovering nvidia has probably made billions by ignoring export restrictions to china lmaoo.
… And then sweeping it under the rug!
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.
The interest of the Chinese government align more on keeping the sanctions and force Chinese AI companies to support the internal chip industry
Large Chinese firms have a bunch (though not a ton) of Nvidia GPUs, so the “end state” is proof too.
It’s hillarious that supporting and enabling crimes against humanity is okay but putting your wee wee in the wrong hole forces you to resign immediately.
What a fucking world we live in.
The wee wee part is the cover up for Nvidia selling chips to China under the restrictions.
TBH nVidia probably said “alright, fuck it, lets make the ethics a bigger story and maybe it will bury the legal issues we’re facing and stop the stock drop.”
Quite probable.
Oh, who is China bombing and starving daily?
They don’t give a shit about that. He made the stock price move the wrong direction and that is unforgivable.
But the stock went down because people care about him putting his wee wee in the wrong hole.
He opened the company up to legal issues. Banging a foreign spy as well as a direct report are both massive legal liabilities.
What he did with her is again whatever. It’s the fact that she is connected to China and that might cause problems because of the export bans. Even if his relationship with her was platonic it would still be a problem.
“Meets with Chinese spy” is just as bad of a headline as " fools around with Chinese spy"
Oh hell no, as soon as there’s some sex in it the story sells. Suddenly it’s a gossip story too.
It probably wouldn’t be as big a deal if it were a platonic relationship. The reason the sex matters is that sex tends to lead to people making bad decisions. Also, the fact that it’s an affair matters because lying and sex in secret also is associated with bad decisions.
If he were in a platonic relationship with her but they were caught doing heroin together, that might also be a big deal because drugs also lead to bad decisions. Illegal drugs done in secret would be an even bigger deal.
It does make for great entertainment, though.
Rich dudes getting around a bit is expected, But Hwang a. gave a honeypot spy access to trade secrets (allegedly — though the company is taking this seriously) and b. in a second affair, fraternized with a lower-ranking officer of the company. (Companies notoriously don’t take these seriously, even when there’s evidence of duress, but this looks bad compounded with the spy thing, and highlights how he’s a security risk.)
Again, it is routine for c-suite officers to get a bit on the side, but indiscretion is seen as a symptom of liability. As the whole Ubisoft seniormanagement sex ring debacle shows, to the company and investors it’s less about the scandal and more about its public visibility.
However, nVidia has been wanting to sell its state-of-the-art chips in Beijing since the beginning, creating a conspicuous conflict in the AI investment is national security because we have to beat China narrative. So I wonder if this figures into the honeypot story.
Line of organized capital must go up.
Fuck humans if line goes up. Fuck humans if line goes down.
One hole per wee wee, that’s the rule. I don’t make it up.
Is an old man screaming at the tv at home.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

Wait. Is this real?
And yes, it’s exhausting and stupid that 10 years in, I’m still asking.
Seriously. I also want to know if it’s real.
Just looked it up, it’s real. In Truth Social.
Edit: if this happens, I propose we call him “Tim Nvidia formerly known as Tim Apple” going forward.
Tim Chips
John Silicon
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.
He didn’t call him anything. Notice the dash. AI generated.
The em dash is the one associated with AI. The dash is a different symbol
Em dash: —
Dash: -
@Taldan @Doomsider That’s a hyphen. Here’s an “en dash” for you: –
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hyphens/_and/_dashes
Did you hit your head somewhere? A lot of people use dashes - including myself. Learn what they’re even used for, illiterate bakka!
What a rude response, there are entire articles about this.
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
No, you are rude for spreading wrong information A lot of literate people write with ashes and no, I don’t care who wrote what, it’s a part of English, there is nothing to be said about it - deal with it.
Tim Apple will save us!!!
I’m guessing he resigned so that people will stop looking into all the other affairs he had lmao
Also because he owns hundreds of billions in nVidia stock, and if some dick at nVidia is causing his stock to tank he wants that guy to lose his job.
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).
In response to this news, I have decided to performatively make a lot of noise and destroy my Nvidia graphics card. Oh wait, I run all AMD. Never mind.
Weird flex, bro
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.
I mean, Trump can relate. Don’t forget he had a Chinese spy at Mar-a-Lago a few years back when he was hiding top secret and classified documents in the shitter.
Of course he fucking knew. He doesn’t actually care if China gets the tech, he just wants to be seen as being “Tough on China.” That’s it, that’s the play, and he abso-fucking-lutely knew they were breaking the law.
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.
In their closet? Fuck, most of them have been walking around in their Skeletor cosplay, laughing manically while taking candy from babies and punting puppies…
Almost everyone that Trump has ever called “honorable” has had a skeleton hiding in their closet.
The rest paraded the skeleton in plain view.
NVIDIA announces next CEO will wear a chastity belt.
Males are too emotional. Should stop putting them in positions of authority.
For real
But also, Liz Holmes and Eve Jobs. I do wonder if, when adjusted per capita, CEOs who are women are just as likely to be corrupt…
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.
AI powered chastity belt
(Honestly your comment would make a great The Onion headline, email them)
They will have the first AI CEO.
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.
“He evaded us, broke containment, and we believe he has embedded himself inside someone’s smart fridge is Nebraska.”
“We killed that CEO and spun up a new one.” – Company
Yeah, I would fine all the people owning shares of that company a percentage of the share value.
NVIDIA introduces the first ever AI CEO … you choose it’s breast size customized to your own preferences
God damn it. Everything is a breasts slider. When are we getting a goddamn dong slider?
I will point out once again for anyone unaware that Cyberpunk 2077 absolutely has a dong slider.
Maybe a Leather No-Jack-It?
I think the alleged ban evasion and potential smuggling might be the bigger issue.
nobody argues the contrary. what was the hook tho?
He’ll no doubt still be on the board, still raking in billions. He just won’t be the public face.
Hoping to avoid investigations, I suppose?
So? So what??
Jensen is the fall guy for this shit company, half of them if not all of them should be dragged to court on national security reasons, he wasn’t working alone and while we are looking at Huang the rest are rushing to cover their tracks.
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.
Meanwhile you have the President of the United States over here talking about what a legend he is and what a fantastic job he did. Congratulations, China, you didn’t even have to do much really, but you win.
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.
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.
Womp womp, bad choices by another rich cheater. These guys have zero integrity.
Jensen instrumental in price extortion policy of industry, and fraud as to both promoting social overspending, and that the tech leads to broader shared prosperity. Since early 2025, every quarter, datacenter sales of Nvidia chips have been well over announced western client datacenter capacity (sovereign and replacement sales would explain part of this, as would hoarding), and flow to China was likely happening. Plenty of legal SEA datacenters with 90% of traffic routed to China too.
None of this was harm to Nvidia. It’s harm to rest of us through extortionist pricing. Trump corruption is a factor here, but the war on Iran is too. War on Iran needs China’s permission.
What did grammar ever do to you? Stop. Truly. You sound like (are) a moron.
