for which reason? The spy drama? The data centers? Abandoning gamers? Proposing legislation that benefits, solely AI company and potentially China?
What’s the charge? For having succulent Chinese meal!
Pick any. Anything that makes the bubble pop.
MFs are getting 1.2x faster tickets that need to be re-done anyway because the shithead managers are passing the financial squeeze onto the devs.
AI is basically to shell scripts what WYSIWYG is to HTML.
I worked with salesforce, and the entire motivation for their shitty UI based flow tools are to get rid of the need for a developer, and let the business take charge of maintaining systems.
Business can’t take charge of maintaining systems, because they don’t know how to think analytically.
Who works as salesforce administrators? Programmers. Programmers that would rather be writing code instead of fucking around with flow diagrams and have to pull down shitty xml files and commit it to git.
AI is the same fucking thing for creation, but it comes with a subscription that is volatile,. as soon as anthropic et al need to actually deliver the cash.
When you need to break something, sure, go to the AI and beg it fifty times in a row to steal bitcoins for you. No problem.
The reason Linus torvalds can fuck around with AI and get ridiculous output is because he already knows his shit. Average company that’s trying to cram features out the door are basically creating a mountain of tech debt and busting through a pile of subscription cash. If they aren’t, they could have done the shit they are doing without the AI anyway, since they’re already following best practices.
It was actually really fucking easy to not be in this shitty situation :
- Have an evergreen product
- Create a userbase < most companies are here
- Keep on top of tech and infrastructure debt < Most companies fail here
- Allow programmers to innovate to come up with new products or features. < Most businesses cannot even dream of this step.
I am not a lawyer but statements from Nvidia from a week ago were clearly false. When this started to come to light, there were official press statements which we now know were known to be false: https://abcnews.com/US/nvidia-responds-report-ceo-allegedly-targeted-chinese-spy/story?id=137704250
In a statement to ABC News, a Nvidia spokesperson said Jensen Huang “talks with thousands of customer executives every year.”
“Jensen’s interactions with Ms. Huang are not unusual or unexpected,” the statement read. “Meetings with customers are part of a CEO’s job.”
At the very least, anyone who bought shares of Nvidia stock after this statement was made and now was deceived by the company’s statements, and is probably going to be part of a class action case.
Damage control/reducing outrage to a potentially benign thing isn’t misleading unless you can prove that they should have known. It isn’t usual or legal to spy on employees.
There’s no mention of Huang being put on furlough, if not just outright sacked, and had all his company computer access/accounts revoked pending an investigation.
Which Huang 🤣
The sexy one
in the leather jacket.
Either. Both?
And yet still, the leather jacket will stay on
Maybe the CEO of Nvidia is the leather jacket, Jensen is a mere puppet controlled by it.
Jack of jackets instead of jack of blades.
"Whomsoever takes up this
bladejacket shall wield power eternal. Just as theblade rendsjacket covers flesh, so must powerscarobscure the spirit.”venom is the nvidia ceo!
gives a new meeting to venom’s tongue.
We are
JensenVENOM!
Sir Leather Jacket
I doubt anything meaningful comes from this but it would be nice of this ruined Huang and nvidia. Feed em fish heads
Roly poly fish heads.
Eat them up, yum
The way i see it, there are really only two possible outcomes, either he did divulge secrets to a spy, and that’ll be a big problem for him, or he didn’t divulge any secrets but still shows he got played by a spy. Either way, he’ll probably step down as CEO, but the big issue is there’s no clear line of succession in the org, so it’s all a bit messy.
You are assuming that he answers to the same legal system as us, which is a fantasy. He’s one of the richest people in the world; only way he goes down is if he screws somebody richer than him.
What law(s) did he break? Maybe the SEC could eventually uncover some fuckery, but I’m not aware of anything yet.
@shalafi There are Federal regulations about sales of arms and related tech to foreign countries. This means the obvious things, like guns and fighter planes, but it can include lots of technology that is dual use. AI-related stuff is on the list and has been for decades. They can easily get him on violations if it can be proved he was involved in a transaction.
The groups of rich investors taking hits from this are collectively richer than him. He doesn’t have to “go down” to placate them, but he’ll be “retiring to spend more time with family” very soon.
I doubt that, but we shall see!
What does an internal investigation actually mean and how long does it take?
I guess if you are billionaire mean nothing, but if you are a normal person your life is probably over.
I don’t understand, sue NVIDIA for what? Turning a blind eye to smuggling made NVIDIA shareholders money.
