Another regular day in tech



If I wasn't so sick of hearing about AI every day of my life at the moment I might have found it funny to hear that one of the biggest peddlers of the poison around Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was caught having an affair with an alleged Chinese spy. Oh who am I kidding, it is funny! And despite knowing that this won't likely push Nvidia away from AI, I am a bit tickled to hear that the tech company and Huang are on the receiving end of a lawsuit.

The suit in question, as reported by The Guardian, is based on a complaint filed in California's federal court on behalf of Mark Kistenmacher by Rosen Law Firm. Kistenmacher is an Nvidia shareholder, and with this suit he's seeking to "recover compensable damages," for himself and other shareholders due to the "precipitous decline in the market value of the Company’s securities." What a palaver! I do not imagine this will be resolved particularly quickly.



As it currently stands, Huang has only admitted to having an affair rather than any trade secrets being leaked anywhere. Nvidia had this to say on the matter: "While the Board has no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, the Board's inquiry will examine all available information. Jensen fully supports the review and has committed to cooperating with it. The Board has confidence in Jensen and his leadership team and will provide further updates as appropriate."

The concern comes from the person Huang had an affair with, one Alice Huang (no, they aren't related), a former managing director of Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data centre company who have allegedly given Chinese companies Nvidia chips they bought billions of US dollars of. A messy situation to be sure, and one I unconfidently hope brings about the end of AI, somehow.
