Jensen Huang is out at Nvidia. The embattled CEO resigned Thursday over reports of two extramarital affairs—one with an alleged Chinese spy, the other with a company exec who reported to him, reports the Wall Street Journal and the BBC. His scandal has rocked the world of technology given that Nvidia is vital to the AI industry and Huang is vital to Nvidia. Finance chief Colette Kress will serve as interim CEO, but the path to picking a permanent successor is murkier because Huang had no clear second-in-command.
Nvidia shares fell 10% on the news, on top of earlier losses over the last several days, reports CNBC. The broader market sank as well, with futures in the tech-focused Nasdaq down more than 1%. The S&P 500 and the Dow were down as well, though by smaller percentages.

Said no one ever.
Trump has named Tim Cook as his successor.
I think Nvidia needs to make chips at a lower price point for everyday use by ordinary workers to get work done.
Chips for smart lawnmowers, weeders, painters, pickers, etc.
Chips for patient diagnosis, patient monitoring, etc.
What a mess. SMH
In the history of the world has infidelity ever been a good idea?
I just don’t get it.
In my first job as a supervisor I had a 40 year old former Marine as a boss. He was a great mentor and we got along great. One of the first lunches we had outside the office he said, “You know, the most important rule you have to remember: “Don’t **** your employees. Don’t mess with their paychecks. Don’t sleep with them. If you do those things, you can recover from most everything else.”
Every time I see one of these guys fall from grace, I remember his wise words.
