Of course Tim would hire someone who compromised US national security.

[-] NGram@piefed.ca 40 points 3 hours ago

Tim Sweeney admitting if he were married he'd cheat.

[-] supersquirrel@lemmy.ca 38 points 3 hours ago

Steve Jobs was an asshole, if you are going to idolize someone make it Woz.

Fuck Steve Jobs.

[-] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 9 points 1 hour ago

These people don't give af about Woz.

[-] MrSelfDestruct@reddthat.com 3 points 36 minutes ago

Motherfuckers act like they forgot about Woz.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 32 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I love Steve-O's story of buying a phone with Wozniak.

They go to the Apple store, Woz walks up to the counter and says "I'd like to use my employee discount to buy a phone." The employee asks if he has his card, he says "no but I know my employee number." The employee then asks for the number, expecting to get something with multiple digits, and Wozniak just replies with "One."

If that isn't the biggest dick energy response to a question I've ever heard.

Then the cashier said "that's not a valid number" and asked him to leave. The end.

[-] Kronusdark@lemmy.world 29 points 3 hours ago

Jensen wasn’t personally responsible for the AI boom. It was a once-in-a-career coincidence. He’s just another corporate tool.

We need to stop assuming CEOs are geniuses. They are just average at best but with antisocial tendencies.

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 1 points 47 minutes ago

Nobody with any sense thought otherwise.

[-] Artemis_Mystique@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 hour ago

he got them through some real murky situations and championed very nascent tech like CUDA

[-] Damage@feddit.it 9 points 2 hours ago

They do manage to transfer their antisocial traits to their companies tho, so, as someone who's been holding a grudge with nVidia for over 20 years, I'm happy to see him go.

[-] Dultas@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

Selection bias is doing a lot of work too.

[-] toe@lemmy.world 55 points 4 hours ago

Tim Sweeney finds another way to NOT learn when to shut the fuck up.

[-] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 141 points 5 hours ago

Oh, well if Tim Sweeney thinks it's a bad idea...

They should definitely do it.

[-] Rothe@piefed.social 16 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Sweeney is a moron, but I actually hope he is right this time. It would make me very happy to see Nvidia, the mastermind company of the entire AI-bubble we are living in now, crash and burn.

Sadly, as already stated, Sweeney is a moron, and he is most likely not right.

[-] scops@reddthat.com 12 points 2 hours ago

Also, Huang just resigned. Tim's a bit late to the party

[-] axh@lemmy.world 50 points 5 hours ago

I also agree Felon Musk should hire him, and grant access to vital confidential information, just to prove the point.

[-] cryowatt@lemmy.zip 11 points 3 hours ago

Tim Sweeny talks like he's in the Epstein files.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 83 points 5 hours ago

I'm becoming convinced that every tech-bro head of a company is functionally retarded.

[-] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

It's every CEO of every billion dollar company.

[-] crandall@lemmy.today 31 points 5 hours ago

They just look out for their own

[-] fruitycoder@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 hours ago

"Nobody covers each other's ass like the parasitic class"

[-] jtrek@startrek.website 16 points 4 hours ago

Class solidarity

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

And the copious amounts of money just breaks any part of their brain that deals with reasoning, responsibility and decision-making, because OOOOOHHHH MOAR MONEEZ!

[-] tburkhol@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Imagine if you could completely undo your worst screwup for a penny but keep whatever you had gained as a result. It wouldn't take long to become a complete psychopath.

[-] Freeposity@lemmy.world 14 points 4 hours ago

Yeah they got lucky and then convinced themselves they are geniuses.

[-] popcar2@piefed.ca 59 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Update: he's already been replaced https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-ceo-transition

I guess they were just waiting for tim's disapproval lol

[-] radix@lemmy.world 16 points 4 hours ago

Tim Sweeney doesn't want to imagine a world where powerful people face consequences for their actions.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 25 points 5 hours ago

You can count on the stupidest morons to always say stupid moron things.

[-] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 11 points 4 hours ago

People with money are putting a lot of "spin" on this story already. Social media posts like "so what if a CEO has affairs, if he's doing a good job??" etc.

They all conveniently ignore the Affair With a Chinese Spy part. That's the part where he was not doing a good job, and it's an important part.

[-] Zahille7@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

Well, I'd say his affair with a subordinate was problematic as well, but the treason is pretty important.

[-] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 2 points 3 hours ago

Amoral assholes shouldn't be in charge of anything

[-] justdaveisfine@piefed.social 24 points 5 hours ago

Golden parachute isn't enough, they also want to make sure he has a golden landing pad?

Ridiculous.

[-] towerful@programming.dev 21 points 5 hours ago

Epic showing how in-touch they are

[-] fonix232@fedia.io 5 points 3 hours ago

Tim "All In on AI" Sweeney can barely keep his company afloat, I think he should shut the fuck up.

[-] ExperiencedWinter@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Tim "software is hard" Sweeney, who is the CEO of a software company? That Tim Sweeney?

[-] supersquirrel@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Tim should raise capex for the massive AI costs by fundraising through twitch style streams where gamers pay him to sit quietly in a chair and keep his mouth shut.

There could even be a Q&A section where questions are asked to Tim and he still isn't allowed to talk or else he loses all the funds he raised for that day.

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 hours ago

The real question is, did Tencent push Sweeney to say that at the behest of China or is that one of his own freshly stupid takes?

[-] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 4 hours ago

Timmy has been crashing the fuck out lately, so I’m going to assume this is an original.

[-] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 hours ago

He's never had a shortage of slimey/stupid takes so you're probably correct

[-] Smaile@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 hours ago

Epic CEO deff reaches that level of idiot, wtf would musk need him for.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 hours ago

Apple DID fire Steve Jobs. In the 1980s. And then the company nearly died. Some of us were Mac users before he came back, so stfu because you weren't paying attention.

[-] Freeposity@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

These guys really do love the smell of their own farts. Every one of these CEOs are bullshit artists who got lucky.

[-] warm@kbin.earth 8 points 4 hours ago

Shit sticks together!

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Me immediately after Musk hires Huang:

[-] craftrabbit@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 hours ago

You know how trump keeps saying ridiculous stupid bullshit that would be funny if it weren't for the many people who get hurt because of it? Tim Sweeney is doing the same, but it's actually funny this time because his whining accomplishes nothing.

[-] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 hours ago

I guess we're about to find out
