    How long until AMD tries to keep up by getting Lisa Su into an affair?

    Only it won’t be as good, it will be more like a flirty text or a Melania Trump to Justin Trudeau like glance at someone.

    Reminder, the stock market is not the economy. Sucks for people with investments, but as for the working man’s economy, its part of the needed corrections to the bloated AI bubble.

      Counterpoint: 2008. Insofar as speaking of one “economy” even makes sense, the stock market is a massive part of it.

          It sometimes is; if it’s rising then it’s not very accurate but if it’s declining then things are probably going to suck. Which is to say: If they (rich pricks) win you might win, but if they lose you definitely lose.

    According to The New York Times, Huang, whose relationship with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy has embroiled the company in scandal this week, also had a relationship with Nvidia executive Kimberly Powell.

    She joined Nvidia in 2008 and heads up the company’s healthcare business.

    What the fuck, NVIDIA had a healthcare business?

    What are the odds of the second affair being fake, in order to obfuscate the affair with the spy that Jensen almost certainly knew was a spy?

    I don’t see why him having an affair is an issue. Isn’t that his personal life? Unless it was confirmed that as part of the affair he was doing some activities that would affect his business or customers, this just seems to be at the same level as celebrity gossip. Which I guess is what it is.

      First one is national security because she could be getting chips for China. Second is conflict of interest because she’s an executive at Nvidia and it is explicitly forbidden in the contract

      as a CEO of a company you are the figurehead.

      this means if you’re found cheating on your spouse, it’s likely that you are untrustworthy and cheating on business deals as well.

      since this was an affair from within the company, whose to say that it hasn’t caused a conflict of interest that has caused monetary losses to shareholders. IE; maybe she was terrible at her job and he kept her around just to keep fucking her.

      point is, when you’re running a multibillion dollar company it’s a wise choice to hire an escort discretely instead of fucking your employees.
