This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I have two conspiracy theories:
Either Alice Huang being accused of being spy is a cover up for a normal affair, or
There is no affair, she is the middleman for Jensen Huang to do business with China and the 'affair' is a cover up for that
In both instances, Jensen Huang seeking to be let off the hook for one thing or the other.
I'm ashamed this didn't even cross my mind
It has to be 2, right?
honestly i dont know why people would let him off the hook either way. people that work with spies are foreign assets.
might be the best option he was offered
His apology was so pat and by the numbers. You just know he had AI write it.
The actual explanation is “I am rich and famous and thought that should entitle me to whatever sex I want. And I thought I could get away with it.”
“I am rich and famous and thought that should entitle me to whatever sex I want. And I thought I could get away with it.”
Well then he used AI to successfully deflect away from the actual problem. No one cares who fucks who at nVidia, the problem is $2B in chips Megaspeed, his girlfriend's company, sold to China despite export restrictions. The fraud and export violations are the problem here, not little Huang.
Agreed and thats probably why his apology fell on the sword so completely: there’s no cost to admitting the moral failing and he is confident in the long run he will get away with it.
But material violations of commerce or espionage laws…. There’s zero about that in his apology and he will deny and fight like hell.
My only point here is to point out how trivial the human / moral / family dimension obviously is to him. Compete and total admission of guilt right away. Because he doesn’t give a fuck. Only thing that actually moves him is his job and company.
Well, on the positive side - at least it appears there is someone in Trump's orbit who isn't a pedophile.
talk about looking on the bright side, holy fuck
Something else no one seems to be talking about. Nvidia's chips are made in Taiwan by TSMC. What happens if China invades in the next year or two? Which is probably very high on the minds of Chinese leadership because they'll never have another opportunity, hopefully, where our military has been degraded by the incompetence of Pete Hegseth and a president who can be talked into anything by saying "Sir, you're a great and strong leader chosen by God. And here's some really delicious chocolate cake".

ASML will brick the machines and the chinese will only be able to look at them and try to copy them, which will take years, even assuming that chinese are already able to builld something like ASML's machines, which I doubt (if they would be able they would not need Taiwan).
This is why I own some Intel shares despite not having any faith they will catch up to any of its competitors. China might make it so that it doesn't need to catch up.
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.
yup seems like a distraciton from all the AI stuff too.
stealing a joke I read somewhere:
-Nvidia shared plummeted, first because midterm elections, and then because CEOs erections.
It is going to be funny if the AI bubble ends up popping due to the CEO of Nvidia wanting some strange.
Best possible scenario, imo, for the memes.
Proving once again you can still pick a man's lock using his own dick or the tip of his ego.
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.
Wow. Plunge 4 whole percent.
On other days this would be considered a "modest market correction", but today it is "plunge".
Relative to their peers is somewhat more telling. But generally agree.
I wonder if his wife is contemplating divorce. This could be the mother of all fat divorce proceedings.
Trump called him an honorable man, after this was disclosed.
Crazy times we live in.
Trump endorsing you has to be one of the worst insults you can receive.
Conservatives don't judge people by their actions, they judge actions by their people.
At least he fucked adults
The catholic church figured this out years ago - CEOs should have enforced celibacy. We all know that went well for them.
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.
Dude was so high on his own supply he thought a lady would actually be into a weird, dumpy, married guy.
Now selling the Keep-It-In-Your-Pants-Pants, CEO edition!
No need to write tearful letters to your company and family, or dive out off sight during a coldplay concert or ask your friend how to slip your wife anti-std pills if you're a CEO who wears our Keep-It-In-Your-Pants-Pants, patent pending.
Artists rendition what you (a CEO) might look like when wearing them
"I thought she was just a regular old gold digger." -this guy, hypothetically
