If his personal security detained the person videoing them and offered them money to sign an NDA, it feels like something they had experience with. Could this just be the tip of the iceberg?

Most likely. It's hard to imagine an ultra rich man who is already unfaithful to only be having sex with 2 women. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a lot more, including paid encounters.

If you see two ants in kitchen, actual count is not 2!

This is actually an instance of the German Tank Problem.

Are you implying his partners bear serial numbers?

Presumably so. Evidently he is a serial philanderer.

golf clap

In Jensen's case, probably the clap.

I see no evidence that he doesn’t have parallel affairs.

The actual SIMT architecture of his affairs is more complicated but achieves higher throughput.

Check with Ludacris for an example of this phenomenon.

I am pretty sure CCP assigns serial numbers to its spies…

"Beware of the camel's nose"

2! = 2

I don't really care that much about Jensen being an unfaithful husband. That kind of pales in comparison to hoarding hundreds of billions of dollars. And as far as "paid encounters" go - I would hope no one uses this as an opportunity to tell me prostitution is unethical.

Yeah the moral angle of 'oh my god a billionaire was unfaithful' is just bizarre, given all the Epstein stuff at least he is cheating with adult women who consent.

I think you just proved the point that people's stance on morality is not universal.

Morality is not a binary. Some things are more immoral than others.

The potential security costs are far more significant than any nominal market fee for services rendered.

Just because some people have done worse things, doesn't mean you can do whatever you want

But it does make you wonder why we let some people can get away it while we hold others to account.

Some of us think all of these things are bad.

Different scales, but all should be considered negative and penalised.

> at least he is cheating with adult women who consent.

Well, he is her superior in a work setting, so there's that. There can be consequences for rejecting your boss's advances, which is the reason this kind of thing is usually heavily frowned upon!

How do you know he is hoarding hundreds of billions of US dollars?

Is it possible you are conflating USD with Nvidia shares that he hasn’t sold? Is he not allowed to have 3.5% of the voting power for Nvidia?

> That kind of pales in comparison to hoarding hundreds of billions of dollars

Unsurprising to see that the economic illiteracy that plagues reddit has made its way here, a place that is made by billionaires and tries to find and mint new billionaires

It didn't start that way and honestly has gotten worse every passing year.

Nobody cares about that. They care about Jensen being an unfaithful CEO and compromising Nvidia's share price with this naughty flings.

They're already being sued by shareholders over the first affair. The suit claims Nvidia's relationship with Megaspeed posed a "material risk" to Nvidia's reputation and business prospects. Of course sleeping with your own employees is also considered a bad business practice.

It does feel a bit like Jensen is being held to a very much unfairly higher standard than, say, elon, who does drugs, lies extravagantly, has an openly corrupt relationship with the goverment, build the world's biggest deepfake porn machine, etc etc.

cf Matt Levine, "Everything is Securities Fraud"

> unfairly higher standard

I don't disagree that they are being held at different standards, however Elon should really be held far more accountable for his manipulations around Tesla stock, porn machines, Space X fraud etc.

I dont think this is sex level. A date or kissing seems more likely. You can see all reports including rumors didnt talk about sex part.

Jensen isn’t a Mormon and doesn’t wear magic underwear. In fact those leather jackets he wears tell you everything you need to know.

really? right in front of my leather jacket?!

What do they tell?

I believe, as the fellow kids say, that he fucks.

So that's why these are always expensive then, hmmm.

Oh hun

Just a failed training run, right?

Oh the horror! Let's hope he doesn't enjoy it while he's doing it too. I can only bear so much.

truly, I think it's way out of proportion, unless it had an effect on Nvidia management, we should give the guy and his family space and privacy. Jepsen net effect on the world is hugely positive. hope he recovers a good life and fix whatever they decide makes sense

> Jepsen net effect on the world is hugely positive.

Until the medical advances come raining from the sky, that is yet to be proven.

The net effect of the data centers filled with his cards is not positive.

> The net effect of the data centers filled with his cards is not positive.

You of course are doing your part by not using any of the data centres with his cards right ?

> Jepsen net effect on the world is hugely positive.

I would have to agree. Also at least three top 40 songs in the US and 7 in Canada.

given that he is dating adult women and was never implied in the epstein files, i'd say, give the man a medal!

Trump will give him a medal :)

Seems likely the board is aware of more instances than has been currently exposed. Given a second, a third seems highly likely.

Then given a third, then a fourth is highly likely. When does it stop?

At certain island, I guess.

What else do you do with $100+ billion other than have sex with whomever you want?

Bill Gates,

Jeff Bezos,

NEWS FLASH: Man accused of acting like a man. More at 11.

Maybe a state actor knew this already and then based on this knowledge devised a plan for a targeted spy operations.

At least in the US you're not allowed to just detain people for having a camera

and private security isn’t allowed to detain anyone for any reason. they’re not cops

Slightly pedantic but I think in most US jurisdiction private security can detain you for theft under the doctrine of shopkeepers privilege but only long enough for law enforcement to get there.

Obviously not super relevant to this but that's where people get the idea at least.

"If there are two ants in your kitchen then there are probably hundreds more"

Somebody have an agent go back and look at that Coldplay concert footage.

It's the tip of something, at least.
