Yes.
Jensen’s love life is his business, IMO. Nothing for me to judge.
But the story is the sex scandal though, and that’s all IRL people I’ve asked seem to know.
I feel like the sex scandal is being talked up intentionally to try and draw attention away from the actual serious implications of potentially illegal sales that bypassed US bans of certain hardware.
Maybe it's just me but I think with Trump in charge, nobody with money and power is going to get any consequences.
I dunno about “intentionally.” That’s literally the sexy part, while export violations are less engaging to people (and outlets trying to farm that engagement). I’d posit it’s more of a “natural” focus for mass market news.
I wouldn't be surprised to see NVIDIA themselves wanting people to be making memes about Jensen's affair and make that the entire punchline if it leads to the public being unaware of the background details that could actually hurt the stock.
And makes it easier to just bribe the US administration to not investigate further, and not cause further uproar if export violations is something people are not aware of.
Companies have attempted to manipulate media over less trivial things like video game marketing. https://kotaku.com/trap-plan-marketing-astroturf-warrobots-fake-reddit-accounts-posts-2000642503
Yeah, I wouldn’t be either.
Honestly I thought the export restrictions were stupid nonsense anyway, so in this particular case if the DOJ looked away or he got a pardon or something, I could live with that. It’s still not okay for for someone like Jensen to just ignore the law, but that shouldn’t have been law anyway.
Regular people like us don't get to use the it shouldn't be law excuse. He'll just bribe his way out unlike us who'd get the book thrown at our way.
