@jalefkowit Overdone like chain diner food
@jalefkowit right now the manager of “The Den” rebrand is glad that UPS lost the new plaque
@jalefkowit ok, woke has gone too far
@jalefkowit (I actually do think it’s silly to take this down)
@alex I don't have a strong opinion on the subject. There's plenty of Confederate statues left we could work on before we get to Jensen's Shame Booth
@jalefkowit @alex if this is the bear sterns of the ai bubble i think denny’s may actually be protecting their brand by taking down the plaque before everyone thinks of nvidia as essentially enron
@jalefkowit wow. Rejected by Denny's. That has to smart.
Should've founded it at Waffle House. They don't judge.
When you're too radioactive for Denny's, the restaurant where drunk people throw hash browns at each other at 3 AM
Man, I don't even. Silicon Valley is so fucking weird
@jalefkowit I gotta hand it to him, at least he's having consensual sex with adult women, and none of them were introduced to him by Epstein on the pedo plane. At least a few of the billionaires don't even clear that bar. (I don't know if he's in the Epstein files, though, I can't be bothered to check.)
I blame this on what we call “tech journalism".
Did Huang have an affair with a spy? Depends on how you define spy, but even if true, that's not a fireable offense. It will be over at the end of the newscycle.
But what happens when the CEO has an affair with a subordinate or two, and HR approves that, by not disciplining the CEO?
Any large company would have its fair share of employee affairs. By approving the CEO affair, they open themselves up to numerous big ticket lawsuits.
Huang has 3.5% of the equity — he doesn't want the company value to drop to zero. So it makes sense to leave on a high note.
Journalist should have explained what's really going on. They didn't.
@jalefkowit so many idiots.
@jalefkowit
It's not very different from what happens in a Midwest megachurch when the pastor leaves suddenly under murky circumstances.
@jalefkowit @uastronomer “… dating back to when he used the company’s graphics cards to build his own computer.” — what, you mean like a year or 2 ago? “Dating back” indeed.
@jalefkowit "Branch Nvidians"...
@jalefkowit shareholder is just another name for worshipper of the golden calf in the desert it is creating
@jalefkowit Grew up there, and fled in the late nineties, and also the late AND early eighties. Family gravitational pull, but so very terrible, and I LOVE engineers. You know, the ones who used to make things and be super proud of making a great thing. Some may remember that I did go ahead and f**k most of them. 😍 Good times, when it was all just for fun and making a good life. In related news, SF used to be VERY fun and interesting. Even as recently as the 1980s. Peace out.
@jalefkowit I had to do the image.
@jalefkowit WTF he didn’t even die or actually lose any real money.
@jalefkowit Word. He's the legal definition of a crook. nVidia didn't suddenly become shady overnight, the book cooking has been going on for years.
The Holy Pilgrimage of the Shareholders
I hope a lot of couples take selfies by it, with the guy wearing a flamboyant leather jacket and the woman wearing a trenchcoat and fedora.
@jalefkowit Look, if he hadn‘t done the AI sins and just kept on chucking out cool shaders, we‘d all forgiven him!😌
@jalefkowit
I guess everyone offer up their women to Jensen Huang then. Like he was some cult leader, Charlie Manson style.
@jalefkowit So glad it’s not a cult.
@jalefkowit y'think he bedded her too?
