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

    Stay tuned. He’s about to take to blame for something much bigger.

    Nobody in his position turns tail like that, that quickly unless they have something serious they’re afraid of.

      That’s just how CEOs get fired, they want him gone and they want it done cleanly and he probably wants to keep some of his company shares. The alternative is he hangs around and he gets fired for real which is of no benefit to him.

      He was probably getting fired by the board otherwise, and I’m just guessing but there is probably a bigger penalty for being fired than stepping down.

        That, and possibly a whole slew of other, more fucked up behavior, possibly also dragging others, and possibly the entire company down

    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.

      You know what the most fucked up thing is?

      You or me losing a few hundred dollars or euros will hurt us more than him losing tens of billions will hurt him if he gets divorced. The loss of his marriage itself would be the biggest negative consequence, but a man with currently 3 rumored affairs probably doesn’t care much

          There are rumors of him having an affair with another coworker, so that’s the third. At this rate I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be dozens over the years

    Not content with hoarding all the RAM in the world, Jensen is also hoarding all the girlfriends.

    This is why I’m single and RAMless

        actually EDO is more expensive because of the retrogamers and not being made anymore. About 4x the price of DDR-400 for 128mb. They get you comin’ and goin’.

      “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.

    His stupid leather jacket and techbro bait ‘’‘‘charisma’’‘’ were doing a fair bit of heavy lifting in terms of people being duped into believing AI is worth jack shit.

    So I’m actively hoping this fool’s errand ends.

      If AI was worthless there wouldn’t be headlines about it. Is it overhyped? Yes. Is it useless? Far from it.

        I’d say that AI can be useful, but not necessarily in the way it’s being marketed and possibly not profitably so for most anyone who’s not selling the hardware it runs on…

          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.

        If it was useful it wouldn’t need the incessant hype. It would sell itself.

          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.

    You know some regular Chinese citizens are probably laughing mad that they still can’t buy latest gen RTX GPUs in China even after a Chinese spy managed to essentially smuggle thousands of H100 and H200 GPUs lol.

    Although I guess at these insane prices, no one is buying a 5090.
