epolanski | on: Former Nvidia CEO Huang had a relationship with a second employee, sources say
When you see two ants in the kitchen there's likely many more.

Huang has been a great boss and steward of Nvidia, but ultimately falling for subordinates is grave enough, adding alleged Chinese spies, and allegations you sold Tencent billions of hardware through shady Singaporean companies for which the alleged spy worked etc and the board had no other options.

At this point it would be surprising if what we know is likely a small part and the Nvidia board saw enough very quickly to ask for his head.

There's no need to look. Jensen Huang might have been great for his shareholders, but he sure has been screwing the rest of us over hard.

He was responsible for hanging consumers out to dry by destroying the consumer PC market in chase of more profit. He is gambling with the world economy. He appears on interviews being a dick about all of this.

So I'd say this is very much in character for him.

He (and nVidia) have no responsibility to consumers. They have a responsibility to their largest customers and to their shareholders.

He had very little say in the forces that "destroyed the PC market". When he co-founded NVidia, it wasn't to become a geopolitical power player - no one could have predicted that 3d accelerator cards for gaming on PCs would have that kind of impact. If anything, NVidia has made some questionable business moves to not abandon their initial market, such as trying to prevent crypto mining on the cheaper cards meant for gaming.

His successor, however, probably got in position deliberately seeking geopolitical power. They're going to be worse in every way (except cheating on their spouse with subordinates, they're probably not going to do that).

All the irrelevant ant kitchen posts really drives home the dead internet theory.

The interesting thing about those posts is that once you see two of them in a thread, you know there are going to be more than two.

It shouldn't be surprise we are seeing so many of these posts surface.

After all, when you see two ants in the kitchen..

It's a good analogy.

I click on these ant kitchen people expecting some new account with 3 karma, nope, old ass accounts with lots of karma. Humans and bots converging in functionality.
