Your argument is valid in an abstract, logical way and I appreciate that. In the real world, it's nearly impossible for nVidia management to all the sudden gain all the secrets/features from a partner company from a man who used to work there! and not suspect something...

  • Suspect theft, espionage, (employee crime) and do nothing = guilty
  • Negligent incompetance/ignorance (used alot) = guilty

Maybe nVidia did nothing as to plead ignorance and let the guy take the fall or they knew it. Either of these cases is just as criminal when morals are applied.

Calling nVidia the victim is twisting words very badly and I'm not sure you didn't mean to do that. This is such bad press for nVidia isn't it? If I were nVidia CEO Jensen Huang I would pay people or even make comments pseudonymously. I mean, what does it take to post on Lemmy, just an email account?

It would be ethically and competantly correct to interally investigate how now you as a Corporation (Word root: Corp = body; Corporation => Arrangement of Bodies) have all your peers features from a former employee of them and there is no way to ethically get around that. None.

That's the same argument as another plumber who all of a sudden repaired pipes in this totally original way like you did, while you worked on the same job, after working with you. He watched you and took the idea is what happens in the real world.

Corporate Espionage is a huge thing and it's happened all thoroughout history and maybe even now.

Just so I'm clear in my communication, there is no case where nVidia can logically be a victim. Best case = co-conspirator.

There is a difference between "a victim" (what I wrote) and "the victim", (what you misread).

Oh my, making me repost myself time.

Just so I’m clear in my communication, there is no case where nVidia can logically be a victim. Best case = co-conspirator.

I'm not sure how you could possibly mis-interpret that, but yet you still managed. I specifically worded it as "a victim", meaning a victim in any sense, which nVidia cannot be seen as no matter what spin you give it.

If you were a real account or geniune person without an agenda you would just admit that you misread me instead of the other way around.

There is a case.
