> Apparently the L3Harris CEO was ousted in August in a Jensen-like scandal.

You mean he facilitated sale of restricted AI chips to China?

Sorry, but I am tired of the effort to make it look like Jansen's crime was infidelity.

If he just went to whore house he would be fine (well, ignoring a possible expensive divorce).

There's no evidence that AI chips were sold to China. The chips were sold to Singapore. I have yet to see confirmation the chips were subsequently smuggled out of Singapore with Jensen's knowledge.

Gamers Nexus had some interesting coverage on the whole situation so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYU_geUwQoA

		The Nvidia chips that the Russian drones are using are consumer class chips (TE980M-A1) that have no export controls. It's odd that this channel decided to highlight that when it's very clear those are not on export control lists only the high level AI chips are restricted and controlled in this way. Those chips were sold to any country that has open trade with Russia then they could easily make their way to Russia from second-hand markets. So from that alone I don't trust the integrity of this source's reporting. You'll find Intel, AMD, and every other name brand of CPU/GPU in all countries on earth, that doesn't make those companies culpable.

No, they mean "had a sexual relationship with a subordinate".

Which is what the linked article says.

>Sorry, but I am tired of the effort to make it look like Jansen's crime was infidelity.

Strawman. Nobody says that, and nobody cares.

Jensen's "crimes" that we know of are:

1. Having a sexual relationship with a person suspected of being a Chinese spy (who, allegedly, influenced NVIDIA's chip sales to China)

2. Having an undisclosed sexual relationship with a direct report

Both are huge liabilities for the company, as well as national security concerns (someone in a critical position putting themselves into a position for easy blackmail).

None are crimes, all are factors contributing to the firing decision.

>If he just went to whore house he would be fine (well, ignoring a possible expensive divorce).

Same goes for the ousted L3Harris CEO.

The number of creepy men supporting infidelity on HN amazes me.
