        After an appropriate period of remorseful self-exclusion from the public eye, he will begin doing an interminable series of TED Talks/closed-door Davos appearances/privte business school lectures where he tells everyone we didn’t push AI development far enough, AGI really was right around the corner

      “My friend Tim Computer, very good guy, used to be Tim Apple but they didn’t like him, you know he needs to be Tim NVidia because NVidia is computer, so much computer. And Jensen, who used to be good at computer, he would say “Mr. President this ballroom is the best, the best ballroom anybody will ever build. But it’s not computer smart, I can help you make it computer smart.” and he did. So unfair what they did to him, he was a great guy even though he really loved “Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat” when “Memories” is a better song. So unfair, they say he fell into a chamber pot or a honey pot or you know, it’s where there’s a lady, and maybe that lady is good at computer but Jensen he fell in and now he is stuck in China in the honey where they aren’t good at computer unless it’s Tim Apple computer which are very nice, some would say the best. Tim, really great guy but he’s more of a “Starlight Express” fan and I don’t, I mean what’s with all the roller skates. There’s no cats in that, not even a Jesus Christ Super Star. What a shame, really is, what they did to Jensen. Those lying Dems, they hate honey and they hate our super intelligence. They don’t even like the Jelico ball, which we will soon have at my new, biggest, best ballroom.”

      Also fuck all these headlines putting the infidelity front and center when the more obvious reason is nvidia attempting to cover their ass with a blood sacrifice for repeatedly violating US commerce law by shady deals with sanctioned foreign entities to the tune of tens of billions, over years and with the blessings of the potus.

    The orange site is being very normal about this, with upvoted comments like

    It absolutely is (a human right to have sex) for two consenting adults who aren’t blood related. It certainly isn’t something for Ronald fucking McDonald to have an opinion about.

    and

    The board should punish Huang without punishing the industry and the nation. For example by cutting his salary and stock to 0 for 2 years.

    Meanwhile the following is greyed out:

    It’s a huge deal for underlings who have to obey their masters. It’s not a huge deal for masters who make the rules.

    If you allow your employer to control your sexuality you are not fully human.

    Its almost like exercising sexual power over people who cannot consent is one of the most important things in the world to the Bay Area software industry and their Renfields at LessWrong.

      yea yea free love and whatever but surely it’s no one’s fault if the invisible hand of free market decides a company with a lecherous CEO is less valuable an investment for it

      Okay, let’s make deal: we won’t penalise CEOs for the actions of the market and the things they do in their personal lives… and we won’t give them millions to billions for the work of their employees.

      If only he had a non-related consenting adult called “his wife”

      The board should punish Huang without punishing the industry and the nation. For example by cutting his salary and stock to 0 for 2 years.

      Wouldn’t that also tank the industry??

        I think the first comment is trying to say that a boss has a right to screw his employees unless they say no, but I think these people really struggle with the concepts “consent” and “consequences.” So their words are not very clear.

      I imagined he would step down and let someone else handle the fallout once it was apparent the bubble was cooked; I just never imagined it would be this stupid
