Rich people are so alienated they have no idea that they're completely useless.

IDK if it's true but I've heard he's one of the few hyper competent CEO's. Like he actually gets what's going on and shit. If that's true then I kind of understand why it would be a bad idea to fire him. At the same time he was fucking a Chinese spy and giving her puppet company some sort of special treatment so I don't see how they could possibly NOT fire him.

Also, havent the Chinese tried the honeypot thing on a LOT of people in the tech industry? I thought this was a known thing they were doing. So was the honeypot just the excuse for allowing a bunch of cards to be funneled into China? Wouldn't you be concerned if you were going to invite this guy to run your company that his poor judgement would strike again?

I'm just rambling at this point. Fuck that cheating piece of shit.

CEO telling each other that they are the only reason for success of their company.

[–] BurgerBaron@quokk.au 9 points 5 hours ago

I keep mumbling "Shut the fuck up, Sweeney" whenever I see this fuck utter anything. It's becoming an unconscious response.

I'm going to edit this GIF later once I'm home:

Getting scared Timmy?

You been fucking up way worse than Jensen lately.

In regards to calls to ban AI that allows for the production of child pornography Sweeney argued that attempts by politicians to force app stores like Apple and Google to ban X/Grok over AI content are a form of political censorship and "gatekeepers" trying to silence opponents.

Yeah, way worse than Jensen.

Spilling not just secrets

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 19 points 11 hours ago

Shouldn’t you be thinking of new innovative ways to steal money from kids, Tim?

[–] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 16 points 11 hours ago

Can't wait until the day comes when Tim has to leave Epic.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 198 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Oh, well if Tim Sweeney thinks it's a bad idea...

They should definitely do it.

[–] axh@lemmy.world 69 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I also agree Felon Musk should hire him, and grant access to vital confidential information, just to prove the point.

[–] pticrix@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Watch out what you wish for, all the government data DOGE hoovered up is probably in there.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 27 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (3 children)

Sweeney is a moron, but I actually hope he is right this time. It would make me very happy to see Nvidia, the mastermind company of the entire AI-bubble we are living in now, crash and burn.

Sadly, as already stated, Sweeney is a moron, and he is most likely not right.

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 points 1 hour ago

I doubt that NVIDIA will crash and burn because you removo one person.

[–] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 hours ago

Sadly, I see the board appointing some fintech MBA with no engineering background in his place.

Ask IBM and Intel how well that works.

[–] scops@reddthat.com 18 points 15 hours ago

Also, Huang just resigned. Tim's a bit late to the party

[–] NGram@piefed.ca 67 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Tim Sweeney admitting if he were married he'd cheat.

Steve Jobs was an asshole, if you are going to idolize someone make it Woz.

Fuck Steve Jobs.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 59 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

I love Steve-O's story of buying a phone with Wozniak.

They go to the Apple store, Woz walks up to the counter and says "I'd like to use my employee discount to buy a phone." The employee asks if he has his card, he says "no but I know my employee number." The employee then asks for the number, expecting to get something with multiple digits, and Wozniak just replies with "One."

If that isn't the biggest dick energy response to a question I've ever heard.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Then the cashier said "that's not a valid number" and asked him to leave. The end.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 8 points 11 hours ago

The Woz pulled out a several sheets of uncut $2 bills and paid that way cause he's a wildcard.

[–] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 17 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

These people don't give af about Woz.

[–] MrSelfDestruct@reddthat.com 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Motherfuckers act like they forgot about Woz.

Of course Tim would hire someone who compromised US national security.

[–] Kronusdark@lemmy.world 49 points 15 hours ago (5 children)

Jensen wasn’t personally responsible for the AI boom. It was a once-in-a-career coincidence. He’s just another corporate tool.

We need to stop assuming CEOs are geniuses. They are just average at best but with antisocial tendencies.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 17 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

They do manage to transfer their antisocial traits to their companies tho, so, as someone who's been holding a grudge with nVidia for over 20 years, I'm happy to see him go.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Unfortunately his cousin is currently doing the same to AMD

[–] Dultas@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

Selection bias is doing a lot of work too.

Tim Sweeney finds another way to NOT learn when to shut the fuck up.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 105 points 17 hours ago (9 children)

I'm becoming convinced that every tech-bro head of a company is functionally retarded.

[–] crandall@lemmy.today 36 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

They just look out for their own

Honestly, I actually thought NVIDIA would let Huang pass as, while he has caused these recent issues he has also driven the stock value up incredibly high since the whole AI hype started. And I think that he's still a very capable guy.

[–] popcar2@piefed.ca 72 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Update: he's already been replaced https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-ceo-transition

I guess they were just waiting for tim's disapproval lol

[–] aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 6 points 11 hours ago

Interim. Replacement yet to come.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 30 points 17 hours ago

You can count on the stupidest morons to always say stupid moron things.

[–] justdaveisfine@piefed.social 28 points 17 hours ago

Golden parachute isn't enough, they also want to make sure he has a golden landing pad?

Ridiculous.

[–] radix@lemmy.world 20 points 16 hours ago

Tim Sweeney doesn't want to imagine a world where powerful people face consequences for their actions.

[–] cryowatt@lemmy.zip 14 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Tim Sweeny talks like he's in the Epstein files.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 hours ago

He wishes he was.

He was too much of a loser to ever get invited to the island, and he will be malding over it until the day he finally fucking dies.

[–] towerful@programming.dev 24 points 17 hours ago

Epic showing how in-touch they are

[–] RaoulDook@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

People with money are putting a lot of "spin" on this story already. Social media posts like "so what if a CEO has affairs, if he's doing a good job??" etc.

They all conveniently ignore the Affair With a Chinese Spy part. That's the part where he was not doing a good job, and it's an important part.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 9 points 15 hours ago

Well, I'd say his affair with a subordinate was problematic as well, but the treason is pretty important.
