Memes you can hear, regardless of the fact that it was always a picture.

Man, I wish I had a dick that was capable of making billions of dollars vanish into thin air.

Just wait until the number of gpu customers he's fucked gets out there.

The Times report says that Huang and Powell were seen being affectionate at a hotel during a company conference in March, and that when bystander took a photo of the interaction, a security guard "sequestered them" and offered the person to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

So they were illegally detained and pressured likely under duress to sign an NDA, by private security?

[–] TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 50 points 2 hours ago (6 children)

Well obviously it wasn't non-violent, or it'd be an NVDA.

I hope that NDA included a big dollar sign.

[–] dou9m@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

However big it was, they got screwed 100%. I would force them to literally pay me 10mil minimum for this and I would still think I’m getting scammed.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 16 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I'm sure they would agree to it, and then find a cheaper solution to stop you from talking.

Aha you see that’s where my blackmail subscription clause comes into play

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 26 points 2 hours ago

That sounds awfully close to kidnapping. Throwing a person out of a private event is one thing, holding them against their will is quite another.

The heartfelt apology is less convincing now.

The walking wannabe cool™ cliché of midlife crisis with unlimited monies had affairs?

Probably the worst choice he made is to project an image of devoted husband who adores his wife. Should've learn from Elon.

I don't want to gawk over someone else's love life (and their failings). That's none of anyone's business but theirs.

The issue with the first affair is what laws he broke... though I would argue the GPU export restrictions were pointless anyway, and the U.S. feds would be stupid to enforce them now, after they clearly did not work.

As for the second, per their own policy:

https://images.nvidia.com/aem-dam/en-zz/Solutions/about-us/NVIDIA-Code-of-Conduct-External.pdf

The following types of activities may create a conflict of interest: › Advisory roles or board seat participation › Outside employment or consulting › Self-employment or volunteering (Inventions or app development, speaking or publishing opportunities, teaching or research at a university level or higher, game development) › Investments or personal relationships.

It's not... particularly explicit about this, but it does feel like conflict-of-interest if she reports to Jensen.

[–] saturnapy@lemmy.world 4 points 43 minutes ago

I think you've got it backwards. There's no evidence that he broke any laws with the first affair, and no evidence that she was even a spy, so that one could have been just a regular affair.

The new affair potentially opens Nvidia up to lawsuits, so it carries way more financial risk.

https://www.cnbc.com/2026/11/11/nvidia-jensen-huang-affair-employee.html

Rumors of an affair between Huang and Powell have circulated for years, in part because Powell lacks a background in health or science, according to a former employee who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.

If she got her vice president position more on the basis of being a nice lay for Jensen Huang than because she was qualified for it, that does sound like a potential issue for the company, even aside from the affair itself.

Make the company billions, but you fuck one spy......

[–] tal@lemmy.today 29 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

One spy and one executive.

[–] houndboy@awful.systems 26 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

One spy and one executive so far…

[–] aks_@pawb.social 3 points 7 minutes ago

The night is young, and the Jensen is Huang.

[–] rafoix@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 hour ago

I’m pretty sure that Huang is fucking all of us.

Jensen's interactions with Ms. Huang are not unusual or unexpected" and are part of Jensen Huang's job, an Nvidia spokesperson told ABC News at the time.

Guess I can't dispute that statement!

[–] ClownStatue@piefed.social 4 points 1 hour ago

Feels like he’s about to no longer work at NVIDIA. Or be married.

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 10 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

It seems all we ever hear about is paedophiles and sexual abuse..... Consensual affairs seem like a bit of a nothing burger. The drama seems to be about whether secrets were leaked to the Chinese and selling Nvidia cards to China. Other than that, not sure what the excitement is about being involved with an existing Nvidia exec.

One can be allowed a little schadenfreude at a billionaire losing face.

In hindsight the leather jacket swagger should have been a hint that this guy couldn't keep his dick in his pants.

Anyway, Epstein files should be made public.

Look, I’ll be a Chinese spy too if it’ll get me video card at a decent price, just saying Huang
