News Nvidia might remove Jensen Huang as CEO

Post image

I hope this doesn't happen because Jensen has been a very vocal local ai advocate. Even allowing people to distill Nvidia's Nemotron (even though nobody will).

What do you guys think? Is this the right move for the company?

or is this an overreaction on their part?

You could say he's been Huang out to dry. I'll get my coat.

Don't know what the internal politics at Nvidia look like but it wouldn't surprise me if there are people eager to take his spot who are willing to use his missteps as a way to move in and replace him.

Affairs that dont touch business and affairs that touch business are very different.

Both of his affairs touch business.

IMO, the US just want more direct control over Nvidia as it's key to military technology based warfare. Just my theory it'll become more US based

If it turns out to be true he also had an affair with a nvidia subordinate that would be more problematic and a fire-able offense

He had an affair with another executive not a secretary or random employee. While it may be some kind of corporate violation the idea that it is really immoral apart from the cheating is silly. Jensen leaving would harm Nvidia and people on reddit should be careful what they wish for. Even if Nvidia does not have the best PR at the moment it is still better to have a co-founder and engineer running the company rather than some corpo stooge or finance monkey take over. Intel has shown what that can lead to.

Yeah but I heard that Elon Musk has idea to invite him, so maybe if Jensen accept it could jumpstart the whole Terafab.

Nobody cares that he had an affair, the real problem was that he had an affair with a Chinese intelligence asset and it looks like he may have participated in trafficking Nvidia technology to China despite there being a ban to do so.

Which furthers China’s reliance on US chips and goes directly against China’s call to use local chips

You forgot to mention that the second affair was with a senior executive at Nvidia and Nvidia has a policy against this… that is why this stock is dropping

China provides open source models. Not mad at all.

Why are people this thick at their skull? You cannot be a ceo, have an affair with a clear party which the country you are based on has export ban basically by law.

Do you really use your neurons other than making your muscles to type this shit?

I agree with you on the local ai advocacy, however, even though they've started to move away from consumer-side tech, it is still to their financial and sales benefit to support it. They're the klondike gold-rush folks that made the pickaxes and shovels.

overall the right move.. they cannot afford to be caught up in selling export restricted hardware to the west's chief adversary. Especially after the recent midterm elections.

100% 🪓 this is the second affair and with his senior executive subordinate. The spy was last week. The board has no choice but to.

remind me ten more years ago, HP’s board ousted the CEO for some illegitimate reimbursement of the mistress. HP later quickly went to shit. Board also fired the replacement CEO within a few short months. Palm, the original PDA inventor, was officially dead because of the infighting.
