The 'sex scandal' at #NVidia is a deliberate distraction. Yes, Huang may have been shagging dozens of spies from dozens of countries. It doesn't matter. It's a detail.
This is the scandal.

feel like i need to quote this to stress this fact: the absurd demand for AI compute WAS MADE UP. nvidia had a tsunami of RAM and wafers coming at it it didn't know what to do with and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of GPUs were channel stuffed so hard they're rotting in warehouses
this was market manipulation at massive scale to defraud investors
@simon_brooke @blogdiva Makes you wonder whether the sex scandals were manufactured and timed just right to suck all the energy out of the news cycle.
