The Zen of software engineering: If it's not tested, it's broken. If it's in prod, it will be broken. If it's broken, it's on a sat. If it takes down a good chunk of the world infrastructure, you're probably related to microsoft somehow.

Your board matters the most during a criss. Every decision they'll make in a criss will just make things worse. Be sure you make them eunuchs ahead of time.
so: - no succession plan. - 60 reports which means no obvious person with complete understanding of the co operates. or at least it’ll be insanely messy. potential for a lot of infighting. - a weak board suddenly tasked to manage a crazy crises w/ arguably the most important co of this era. - possible talent exodus since founder is leaving. - a ceo search that could take a while with no obvious outsider candidate at the top. - potentially more revelations. - jensen will have zero involvement going forward. no chairman role. - downstream impact on ai ecosystem from funding, support etc. this is not good. what am i missing?

Ultimately Nvidia board would rather loose everything, than stick with a founder.
Jensen and Elon could lobotomize NVIDIA. Spin up a new venture at a $200B valuation, hire away the best 5% of NVIDIA, then leverage Jensen's tight relationship with TSMC to get the best wafer supply.

Has a company ever gotten better replacing an engineer with an accountant?

Ultimately when you have the whole company leave, the board starts to realize they maybe fucked up. Jensen needs to get on the phone and either get the other board members to change their mind, rally the employees or force a shareholder vote.
Sam Altman 有问题,Ilya 的材料详实有据,最终结局却是 Sam 推翻了董事会;Jensen 仅仅是私德问题,最终却依然是董事会推翻了 Jensen。 英伟达是一家 60 个 VP/SVP/EVP 向 CEO 汇报的公司。NVIDIA 核心员工应该发起集体签名,NVIDIA is nothing without Jensen’s leadership.

This is how you issue stack for a company you created that's worth +$4Trillion.
zuck is outplaying everyone as ceo of a public company

I like Tim but he's not a visionary guy. Nvidia takes all sorts of all-in gambles which I dont think vibe well with his personality type. We need someone that can wear a statement outfit and not look out of place.
SITUATION DETECTED: President Trump says Tim Cook should be the new CEO of Nvidia.

I rather the shareholders vote than a bunch of investors, some former NFL/Pepsi and Taco Bell execs and a random professor decide the fate of American AI.

Most CFO run everything by spreadsheets. They're kind of retarded about products, R&D and marketing.
In my experience, CFOs are the least visionary members of the c-suite.

Thanks Anthropic for the coup. I hope the Nvidia board was at least blackmailed too.

the worst thing you can do to a winning company is kick out the founders

I can't believe a $4 trillion company and AI industry will fall because the CEO fucked some middle aged chicks. As a shareholder of nvidia, I'd rather him bang 100 more chicks and recieve advice from Elon to set up a harem company plan than see Jensen go. Such a coup.

A sad day for NVIDIA, developers, America, and all humanity. Jensen founded and ran one of the few companies to reach a massive scale while driving massive continued innovation and ubiquity, while others fell into the trap of ever-increasing extraction.
Congrats to everyone at NVIDIA, and to Jensen, the man who saved GDC 2015 by launching a new GPU line at State of Unreal! 😀 Now the world’s top 2 companies operate awesome untaxed pro-developer ecosystems.

Everyone will learn the wrong lessons from this Nvidia situation.

You can always expect the board to make the wrong decisions. The board thinks they know what the business needs more than anyone else when they dont run the company. This is why almost every modern tech company has created a fuck you class stock where the board can't do shit.
Jensen Huang has resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board, effective immediately.

Firing Jensen will create Nvidia's most dangerious competitor.

Im hoping Jensen gets through this. But theres still going to be costs to be paid unfortunately. Jacket might have to be retired.
Jensen has 4 loyalists on the board since 1993 they aren't going to vote against him. He has a board seat. That's 5 of 11 seats. They need 6 board votes to remove him. He would need one defector.
