which is weird b/c nvidia lucked out w/ cuda and how all the enthusiasts and games were high on cuda for years and makes a transition to mining and then ai

My dad was texting us this morning and he mentioned reading somewhere that Jensen had like 60 direct reports, no succession plan, and basically no governance. Not sure where he got that but he's retired and has nothing better to do than sit on Twitter.

i mean, in the data center race, amd has the mi355x comparable to a b200 and has almost double the amount of ram and theres a translation layer to convert cuda to amd language
and amd ceo is jensens cousin
and looks like him, china is gonna have to rent a few korean fuck boys to get her in the sack

well i cooraborated your twitter dads 60 at least
In September 2025, Huang told CNBC’s Becky Quick that he had as many as 60 direct reports. Internal records reviewed by CNBC show he has 33 this week.

A CEO having that many direct reports is unusual, or at least it ain’t normal outside of tech (I am not in tech.)
Most CEO org charts have under them a handful of SVPs, maybe a chief of staff, etc.
That’s kind of impressive Nvidia was running that way. Kind of a testament to how good jensen’s one technical knowledge of the entire company was.
That very particular unique culture isn’t going to be easily replaced.

100% with was the plan of China. The spy was not there to get intel. If she got any, that was a bonus. Her job was to compromise his position and the position of nvidia. And now was the time to strike. Not when the AI bubble was growing but right about when it's about to pop. China probably leaked it themselves. All this plays into their hands. She gave them move than any industry spy ever could.

Yeah, all the chief engineers apparently reported directly to Jensen and he signed off on all the major decisions. Which makes sense why people like Johny Srouji (Apple's processor head) are rumored as who's being targetted.
But to be clear, Nvidia's mid-term future was murky anyway. All the major corps are developing their own AI chips (Amazon Trainium, Meta's MTIA, Google's TPU 8s, etc.), as are AMD. Whether Nvidia would have remained relevant with their AI chips vs all those other options remains murky.
As to the consumer GPU ramifications, the point remains that as public companies, while they still get far more profit from AI products, neither Nvidia nor AMD should be devoting anything other than unused fab lines and D tier engineers to graphics cards.

Also remember that there's a lot of rumors Jensen knowingly sold chips to middle men that would give them to China in violation of export laws, or at least looked the other way on the matter.
If Jensen's dick is going to get them arrested for Treason, then the board should be kicking him out the door with all possible haste.
