The media assassination continues.. i don’t care at all if Jensen cursed at some execs, that comes with the territory. The “spy” allegations have already been walked back as being bullshit.
Remember like 3 days ago they openly lied saying the Singapore government suspected Alice Huang was a spy until the government themselves responded saying they had never given any statement at all to the media and that she was not suspected of anything. Now we have some anonymous stories about tantrums. Until proven, i assume all these stories are just more bullshit.
Steve Jobs did similar things and was at many times much worse. Yet all of this is orthogonal to his achievement of turning apple into what it is today.
Same with Jensen.
It was always clear the affairs were a cover story. Now it’s also clear why the board used that cover story to get rid of him. A lot of them didn’t like him personally.
> If you’re an NVIDIA executive you’re being paid more than enough to get yelled at by the CEO.
And this, folks, is Silicon Valley sociopathy for you.
Everything is about money. You can do anything to make it, and when you have enough, you can treat others any way you please because, if they want to make money, they should be willing to endure your aggression and humiliation.
Accountability has nothing to do with Silicon Valley or money generally, that's the way hierarchies work everywhere. If you're so sheltered that you are genuinely surprised by this or have never been exposed to it then that's unfortunate for you.
It's hilarious you're trying to tell me I don't understand the way the world works, and suggesting I'm sheltered. Meanwhile, you're the one who is complaining about Jensen's self-inflicted downfall and hoping for his reinstatement.
Maybe it's you who doesn't understand the way the world works?
The reality is that you can be king but if you're careless with your kingdom, you'll lose it. Tale as old as time.
It's hilarious to see ostensibly "intelligent" people in the tech industry turn to conspiracy theories and try to turn Jensen into a victim.
While there's no doubt that there are political elements to this story because Nvidia is at the center of great power competition, the bottom line is that Jensen slept with a woman who might have been a Chinese spy who it seems was likely smuggling Nvidia chips to China, slept with a direct report, and apparently slept with at least one other Nvidia employee.
It's not hard to understand why all of these stories are coming out now: before his world collapsed due to his own actions, Jensen was one of the wealthiest and most influential people in the world. He was protected by his money and status.
Now that he is no longer protected, people can come out and speak the truth without fearing retaliation.
The bottom line is the real Jensen apparently didn't match his carefully-cultivated public image and he wasn't humble enough to heed the advice, "be careful how you treat people on the way up, because you may meet them on the way down."

Couldn’t care less. If you’re an NVIDIA executive you’re being paid more than enough to get yelled at by the CEO.
Huang got results and we are all worse off with him not at the helm, and I mean that both in economic and technological terms.
Hope he somehow gets reinstated.

Was GP surprised by it or unaware that this is how it works in many places?

Soooo… a carefully-curated “humble guy” public persona papering over an arrogant asshole who is inordinately sensitive to criticism and snowflake-y.
Colour me surprised. It seems to be the default config for most any techbro.
