    I just want every week to have a new affair. Like for the next 3 months I just want every week to have a new affair break for this guy. Please it would be so funny.

    I mean if you ignore the gross power imbalance of him being a CEO and having sex with his employees. But it seems like everyone is when they’re talking about that…

      Seriously. I’m married (quite happily, FWIW), but that alone is more than enough to keep me busy for the rest of my life. Dealing with my ex just for custody reasons is a pain in the ass.

      I don’t know how these guys manage to juggle multiple women in secret. Not that I want to, it just seems way more stressful than it’s with.

      He’s the sovereign, they’re the courtiers. They’re putting the effort in, he’s just accepting or denying their propositions.

    I posted this elsewhere but in the spirit of the season I’m going to do it again, whether or not my partner approves.

    The affairs don’t matter. The real problem (and why he resigned) is that Nvidia has been selling GPU’s to China through companies in Singapore despite strict US export restrictions. The asian woman he had an affair with had a company with her husband that sold these products from Singapora to China, which directly links him to the smuggling, something Nvidia has publicly denied ferociously all this time. Several key members of the US government have looked the other way (like Howard Lutnick), but might no longer be able to. If Nvidia was investigated it could seriously jeapordize a large amount of their oversea sales and could cause many issues domestically.

          There’s actually a theory that dubya changed it up mid sentence to avoid getting quoted as saying “shame on me” which would make for an excellent sound bite.

          Whether that’s true or not, I don’t know if even he himself knows at this point.

          Fun fact, Dubya, nearly two decades out of lettuce office, is a month younger than the current POTUS.

            Absolutely he changed it mid sentence. Also by comparison with the sad rape sponge they have in office now, Dubya seems moderate!

            I cannot find it now but there was a clip of Bush sitting with Obama and Clinton at Trumps inauguration, he points at Trump and whispers something to Obama and Clinton and they all start killing themselves laughing. I so desperately want to know what he said!

            Yeah. He sounded dumb on TV, but it’s like one of those “ordinary person vs Olympian” things. He sounded dumb on TV partly because you’re comparing him to excellent speakers. Most people would sound dumb next to Obama. Accounts from people meeting Bush in person generally agree he’s smarter than he seems.

            Of course, none of that has anything to do with being at best ineffectual as a president and at worst a war criminal waging wars of aggression. Keeping people like Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld around certainly didn’t help.

      Yes. This story has the potential to be huge. Now that all of media is aware of it, they’re going to start pulling at threads.

      Rough summary for others: Rubio straight up told Trump that Huang’s girlfriend was a Chinese asset, Trump dismissed that and invited them both on Air Force One with him. Trump’s old friend and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also dropped her company, Megaspeed, off any blacklists or investigations, and Nvidia sold them chips. All this is happening at the same time Trump is bellowing about how we can’t regulate AI companies for fear of Chinese competition.

        This demonstrates, btw, how Trump is technically not a Russian agent, or a Chinese agent, or an Israeli agent… He is just very good at being bribed by organisations who bribe people for a living. You gotta bribe correctly, but if he’s bribed, he is worth it.

      Wow, mirrors of Covid (where he basically killed the pandemic response team of GWB/Obama a few years before).

      Most CEOs i know are so sheltered from real work and operations. Everything feed to them is so filtered and curated, so many meetings about meetings and meetings about packs and reports, multiple pages of data being cut down to a single sentence under the pretence the CEO is so time starved that reading more then two lines would bankrupt him.

      What i discovered in multiple companies were concerted efforts to keep the truth hidden.

      And whatever reality got exposed was so massaged and shined that it was a mangled wreck of bullshit from the truth it was.

      I did root cause for years and it was the same BS, all my findings and careful investigations hidden from the light of day.

      Considering how many pictures this megaspeed chinese spy posted of her eating and drinking with Jensen I’d argue that most of his time partying and boozing it up.

      The dude is worth $200b. He pays other people to work for him. When you listen to portfolio managers and other investments experts talk about why so much piled into AI it was revealed the uber rich spent as much time on their investments as i do wiping my ass. They made arbitrary decisions made on specious logic ie “hey what’s this AI thing. Lets make 5% of our portfolio AI”

      Wong is undoubtedly the same. So disconnected from reality.

      I still think he is using this as an exit. Its a good excuse to leave and cash out without destabilising the AI bubble because it is clear Nvidia forced customers to buy chips they could neither had the space or power to use or even need ie Amazon spending $5b (incredible) a month through 2026 on Nvidia GPUs but has only activated a fraction of them.

      Forced them by telling them would be locked out of future purchases of new generation of hardware if they didn’t buy now.

      Now under a crippled US gov (DOJ and SCC have had their teeth pulled) nvidia could easily get away with this. With the blue wave however Jensen sees the writing on the wall.

      But if he exited now without a cover story he’d destabilise the market popping the AI bubble and he would be heavily blamed for trillions and trillions of dollars of losses (along with the magnificent 7). But especially him. Heads will roll.

      So he exposes himself having an affair or two. He resigns with a good reason. He then cashes out and finds a deep hole to hide whilst the US economy collapses.
