The more I read about it, the obvious it becomes that the big news story regarding Nvidia is corruption and financial shenanigans, not the affairs or honestly even the spy rumours. The scale and potential consequences of the former far outweighs that of the latter.

There must be a ton of people now frantically trying to put all the blame on Huang.
It is really unlikely the only implicated in this mess is him. And the ramifications of this scandal are very likely to be much deeper, including political ties in the current administration and other companies.
@baldur the spy thing and the affairs are boring and irrelevant, but at least they are news. The corruption and financial shenanigans were already well-known and tolerated.

@baldur People keep saying that folks personal and professional lives are separate, but I'm unsurprised to see that most people act with the same level of integrity and ethics in both spheres
In the wake of the AI bubble bursting, the scale of the financial fraud perpetrated by the fossil fuel laundering its money in AI, ...
... will rival the pretexts for the war on Iraq or Russia laundering oligarch cash in 2008 via residential housing markets.
All three frauds had Republican & Wall Street profiting from misery.
@baldur Ed Zitron and Gamers Nexus have both done excellent investigations and explanations of this.
@baldur the spy thing implications kinda depend on how many gpus were smuggled through Megaspeed, und it seems like that was a good amount.
