So he should be fired and lose all his shares and be left penniless... Right!?

[-] MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Didn't he start the company?

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

Cofounder. Yes it would be wonderful to see him lose it all. It won't happen, but it is fun to think about.

[-] MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I don't think the shareholders will punish him that hard

You know in 5th grade I too went through a leather jacket phase. Really cool bomber jacket style that I got at a thrift store. But when I grew out of it I didn't replace it with a new one and make that my entire personality.

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 16 points 12 hours ago

He's now famous not only for his leather jacket but also for having let her jack it.

Shout out to the book Red Tide by M. P. Woodward. It's a military thriller where one of the main plot points is a Chinese spy seducing the son of the CEO of a semiconductor manufacturer, in order to export AI chips to China. The book was published last year. The author worked in naval intelligence, so I guess there may have been rumors about this scenario before...

Has the DHS provided any evidence that she’s a spy? Most I’m seeing is that she’s a former CEO of a company that would benefit from buying Nvidia cards more easily.

TBH if she was a white European ceo I doubt the headlines would all say “Spy”

[-] NonconfrontationaI@lemmy.ml 1 points 56 minutes ago

Just typical anti China bigotry.

[-] 1984@lemmy.today 2 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

That's a good point. It's US intelligence officials who called her a spy, but couldn't supply any evidence of this. Sounds like the usual US bullshit.

In our Swedish media it's also being reported as a "spy" since we copy paste whatever the US say.

[-] freely1333@reddthat.com 1 points 5 hours ago

FWIW most white European countries are allowed to buy graphics cards no?

[-] DonkeyStar@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

I hope Nvidia gets the jacket in the divorce.

You should notice in his apology letter he said he accepts the criticism for his actions but not the consequences. He, and his legal team, went over this letter a hundred times before it was released.

I have a dumb question, what exactly does she have over him? Exposing nudes? Did he tell her secrets? What damming information or thing do they have?

Like can't he just own it like yeah, I fucked this chick and am a piece of shit like all the other billionaires but I won't fall for the sextortion

[-] Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 21 points 15 hours ago

She is suspected of being a Chinese spy. As in: an agent of foreign state sent to honeypot Huang and steal secrets.

Keep in mind that the GPU is a heavily regulated market with China being sanctioned - no exports of modern GPUs to China are legal.

(notice how nervously dismissing Jensen always is when asked about the black market GeForce cards already in China)

[-] NonconfrontationaI@lemmy.ml 1 points 55 minutes ago

Suspected by who and with what evidence?

[-] Pixel_Jock_17@piefed.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

I was not aware of this. So interesting and confusing to me as CPUs are readily available from China afaik

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 hours ago

Trump started allowing some GPUs to be sold after a few bribes

[-] AshMan85@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

there was a massive theft GPUs or nvidia chips themselves just days before this came out. the chip can be used to in the computer system, usually navigation, inside of ICBMs. hence they are prohibited from going to china.

[-] sunbeam60@feddit.uk 3 points 4 hours ago

With respect, humanity has been able to navigate ICBMs before Nvidia chips came along. Not saying you’re wrong about something being stolen, but the link to ICBM navigation seems rather teneous.

[-] Pixel_Jock_17@piefed.ca 1 points 6 hours ago

Oh damn, okay that tracks. Thanks

He is/was married with kids

[-] Pixel_Jock_17@piefed.ca 2 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Yes, and thats sad for the family but hardly some unique thing for people. Ive seen that happen to normal people too - the cheating part ruining family*

[-] kurcatovium@piefed.social 22 points 18 hours ago

He popped AI bubble with his dick.

Who would’ve thought a country run by Pooh Bear would be so skilled at using honeypots.

[-] NonconfrontationaI@lemmy.ml 1 points 54 minutes ago

I'd rather pooh bear than a narcissistic pedophilic rapist war criminal who wants to fuck his own daughter, but who am I to judge?

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

Hunny pots.

[-] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 81 points 1 day ago

Guess he got...

sunglasses

Huang out to dry.

YEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

A bit off topic, but does anyone else hate this fake structure that some articles have? Here it's these "headings" printed bold.

Noticed that there's no section for evidence lol

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

It’s not AI. Axios used this format for years, going back to Trump’s first term.

The original pitch was real, sourced journalism in a more concise format, to compete with Twitter and such.

I like that (hence I’ve read Axios for years), but I do get annoyed by the lack of detail, sometimes.

Just an affair? C'mon headline, it's not every day we find out a billionaire and CEO has fallen for a foreign honeypot espionage operation

If AI is so great, he could have avoided all this drama by just getting an AI mistress. What's up with that Huang?

[-] BillionaireStew@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

If AI is so great

How come the AI did not warn him the mistress was a spy?
