    I feel like there’s more to this. NVIDIA already knew he was doing all this shit but just it’s a problem?

    I have read that this relationship has been going on in the open for a long time and might be approved by his wife. The real issue may be Nvidia was selling chips to China via Huang’s company and now Jensen is taking the fall for an affair rather than breaking US-Taiwan trade deals.

    Nvidia was playing both sides, whereas Jensen’s side pieces took the blame.

      “knowingly violating state-security related export requirements to the tune of billions of dollars and leaking the contents of oval office conversations” is the real deal.

      The administration was (shockingly) willing to let that slide for a year and keep Jensen in his inner circle, and therefore so was NVidia.

      But people won’t look away from a sex scandal like they will from a national security scandal, so now everybody has to pretend that give a shit about the rule of law for a few news cycles.

      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).

            Yeah, thats because you cant go out and cast fuckin fireball at a troll in real life.

            AI’s are trained on real images of real children to generate child porn, its completely realistic and exactly in line with all the other child porn these people are most likely viewing, except thanks to the AI they can sink into their disgusting fucking shit even further by tailoring every fucked up image to their fucked up wants. Theres no bullshit attempt to handwave it away as a drawing and that the character is actually a 9000 year old dragon or whatever other fucked up bullshit. It is unabashedly child exploitation material.

            Trying to compare it to video games is a disgusting attempt to distract and deflect.

    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.

          Exactly. Three years ago when funding intensified the promise was AGI. Now that it’s been made clear we’re not moving past really powerful LLMs anytime soon the gap between the promise and what was delivered needs to be corrected.

            tbh i have a theory that the ai bubble itself is what’s holding us up. the llm angle has been explored deeply and optimised to ridiculous levels. what we got out of it is an incredibly powerful tool, but it’s not agi yet. it does have the ability to absorb a lot of skills though, both with deliberate training and with incidental exposure during training, so teaching it new tricks is probably going to be a thing all the way until we reach agi, but imo we’re not getting to agi just by building larger llms.

            but the problem is, that’s literally the only thing that’s happening today at any reasonable scale. llms have become the same kind of safe investment slop that reboots and sequels are in media, sure it’s guaranteed to be mediocre (in this case, by being expensive to run and having relatively little advantage over existing stuff) but at least there’s very little chance they will fail outright. real r&d, on the other hand, is inherently risky, but it’s how real progress gets made.

            after the crash, hardware will be (relatively) cheap and plentiful, both to own and to rent online, and we’ll see investment sour on llms. that will finally open the door for moving past them and finding the next thing. and if agi will ever be made, that’s how it will be made, not by training ever larger llms just to distil them back to the same scale as before with minor tweaks to how attention works. which is pretty much what has been happening in the past 2-3 years.

          May I introduce the dot-com bubble? That whole internet company thing sure turned out to be useless fad, huh?

          Just like back then, people don’t really yet know what AI is useful for, or what it can actually in its current and the near future form do, but they are throwing it against the wall to see what stick because if someone manages to find the winning formula first, they’ll be unbelievably rich. See, this small book store called “Cadabra” - you may know it better by their current name: Amazon. Or a silly side project of a General Magic employee everyone said was stupid and useless, Ebay.

          AI will be over hyped, over used, the bubble will burst, and we’ll be left with the ones that actually made a lick of sense from usability and cost standpoint.

          Nvidia is down 14.25% YoY, 26.81% past 30 days, and only 4.82% of that can be attributed to the past 5 days.

      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).

      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.

          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.
