Sad trombone sounds.

Yeah he fucked up. But as far as fuck ups go, especially for billionaires, this is pretty tame.

For the actual scandal, I agree. But the question I (and I'm guessing many) have is what other agreements or agendas was she working on/from him. Routing physical assets through a third-party country would be a great example.

There's a bunch of documentation on how there are massive amounts of 5090's showing up in China. Obviously nVidia isn't providing those directly, since they chips come from board partners and not the company itself, but it's clear nVidia hasn't been too active in trying to put a stop to all of the illegal imports.

Honestly, given how much he was critical to the company’s success, the ouster of Jensen Huang as the CEO of our top AI compute company will possibly be a bigger hit to our AI competitive edge than any near term risk of IP compromise.

Maybe, but he's been actively working for expanding the capability to our main competitor. Huang was putting nVidia ahead of US national security (and in a way, ironically enough, Taiwan security). For a CEO, I understand his priorities, but up to a point.

Again, couple that with trying to rearrange board designs (as an example) to slide under the embargo is a problem. And the fact that the redesign and marketing also allows nVidia to charge 5x+ for the capability than what the same consumer level chip sells for here in the US just makes me shake my head even more.

That was actually pretty funny.

Counterpoint: if he was having an affair with a CCP asset and helping to evade US ITAR regulations to sell more chips to China, that is actually not tame.
