    I think the whole honeypot thing is bullshit. Nvidia was selling GPUs to China via intermediaries. They all knew and now this is the story that’s an attempt to cover up the fact they did it on purpose for extra profit.

    Wow. Plunge 4 whole percent.

    On other days this would be considered a “modest market correction”, but today it is “plunge”.

          The company is “worth” $4.3 Trillion dollars. Losing 4% of $4.3 trillion = losing $172 billion in one day.

          Also, based on how everyone else did today, they probably would have made $172 billion if this story hadn’t come out today, therefore it’s like they lost $344 billion dollars in one day.

          His buddies on the board (who own most of the company and therefore ate most of that loss) are probably pretty pissed at him right now, and also salivating at an opportunity to take some of his shares as punishment.

    They dropped a few percent.

    Wall Street has no morals, it only dropped on the fear that this MIGHT affect them making money. It will recover shortly and people will move on.

      “A few percent” is as biased a description for -5% as “plunged”. I mean you can all it both but really both is making it sound smaller or bigger than it is.

        5% is barely more than a normal daily 2-3% swing on any stock that nobody would really even write an article about. Thursday it dropped 9%, a lot more significant than this 5% drop in the middle of an already negative trend for this month.

          Those are really big drops for stocks. Like the general goal for a year is beating the ~10% growth that the S&P average per year.

          Swinging 2-3% is very volatile.

          It is double that. Anyhow 9% is a pretty substantial short term loss. Markets are nervous but still don’t want to call the bubble for real it seems. Let’s see if they find another excuse in short succession to correct the stock.

    If their spying iw any good, the real question is, seeing as AI has eaten all the nVidia and AMD video cards:

    When cheap Chinese video cards?

      The Chinese are already producing cheap video cards!

      The Moore Threads MTT S5000 came out this or last year and is apparently competitive enough with nvidia offerings for AI training and inference. I suspect the spy was from some other Chinese company, but it could also have been Moore Threads looking to catch up faster.

      There’s also the MTT S80 which has been out for like 3 years, is cheap and has 16 GB GDDR6 (hey 3 years ago that was pretty decent still). Unfortunately the drivers suck so it’s not great for gaming, or doing anything else graphical.

      Gaming is unfortunately kind of irrelevant to them, it seems. It doesn’t really bring in money.

        If there are Chinese gaming video cards,imagine building RISC-V gaming pcs with them running all Libre software,standards and video games. (joke,maybe?)

          Steam’s Frame has an ARM CPU. It runs x64 Windows games. I don’t expect translation to another RISC architecture to be impossible.
          And gaming on an almost all-libre software stack is what I already do on my Gentoo with GPU drivers in the mainline kernel (got a 9070 XT).

      China already caught up in the memory spec performance, they’ve been slowly gaining in the processor performance for a while now.

      We don’t have enough evidence to make that statement. We know the others also fucked people of age in addition to raping kids, so this is not inconsistent with that lot.

          fair warning to everyone. Do not go on duckduckgo and search “Jensen Huang spy mistress” and click on images to see if you can see what she looks like unless you have safe search turned on. Idk what the fuck is wrong with DDG but the results are just a bunch of actual porn for some reason.

      Everything else in the tech sector went up 4-10%.

      Nvidia not only didn’t do that but went down an additional 4%.

    Curious where this goes.

    It’s not just pillow talk about state secrets, in this situation she has leverage to ruin his family and cause billions of stock market losses to Nvidia, which he has a duty to protect.

    This was a highly exploitable situation.
