Can’t be fired but can’t be trusted either. I’m sure he’s smart but if you’re going to have an affair as the head of an industry the US desperately wants to keep away from the Chinese, maybe don’t have one with a Chinese national? And certainly not a Chinese national that is the head of a Chinese company that wants the technology the US desperately wants to keep them from having.
What makes you so sure he’s smart?
Once, Michael Jordan was greatness. We had hero after hero showing us all what could be done.
Today, we have these people acting as greatness. They’re not. They’re weak men with small minds. Nothing they do could ever survive the field of battle.
I don’t want to be part of technology anymore. It’s boring and everything it does is a worse form of something we already did.
Part of the problem might be that the example of a better hero is just some sports player. While there are things to admire about that level of dedication to something, there’s nothing heroic about playing sports.
Though the problem isn’t so much that sports icons are treated as heroes at all but that I can’t really think of any good heroes to look up to outside of fiction.
Though I also think that maybe we should look up to deeds rather than people, since when it’s a person, that person’s flaws become part of the question, but it’s really the deeds that should be emulated anyways, even for the ones that didn’t have some massive disqualifying flaw come out.
Like if you want to be more like Mr Rogers and do it by just wearing sweater vests and changing shoes when you come inside, you’re missing the point.
Similarly, if a serial killer rushes into a burning building to save a kid and their cat, that’s still admirable, even if it doesn’t get them across the line to “ok person overall”.
We all knew he was a dumbshit but GOD DAMN
So he should be fired and lose all his shares and be left penniless… Right!?
Why?
Didn’t he start the company?
Cofounder. Yes it would be wonderful to see him lose it all. It won’t happen, but it is fun to think about.
I don’t think the shareholders will punish him that hard
This was a national security issue, it goes far beyond shareholders.
He’s a bilionaire. Even if she’s a spy, he knew, and he gave her critical information, he’s unlikely to be punished meaningfully. Billionaires don’t go to gitmo.
Oh yes, I totally get that. The right thing would for him to lose everything for betraying his country and company. This won’t happen because wealthy people always get a free pass.
Agree, though it’s not yet clear that he betrayed anyone beyond his family.
Has the DHS provided any evidence that she’s a spy? Most I’m seeing is that she’s a former CEO of a company that would benefit from buying Nvidia cards more easily.
TBH if she was a white European ceo I doubt the headlines would all say “Spy”
Just typical anti China bigotry.
That’s a good point. It’s US intelligence officials who called her a spy, but couldn’t supply any evidence of this. Sounds like the usual US bullshit.
In our Swedish media it’s also being reported as a “spy” since we copy paste whatever the US say.
FWIW most white European countries are allowed to buy graphics cards no?
You know in 5th grade I too went through a leather jacket phase. Really cool bomber jacket style that I got at a thrift store. But when I grew out of it I didn’t replace it with a new one and make that my entire personality.
I hope Nvidia gets the jacket in the divorce.
You should notice in his apology letter he said he accepts the criticism for his actions but not the consequences. He, and his legal team, went over this letter a hundred times before it was released.
He’s now famous not only for his leather jacket but also for having let her jack it.
Shout out to the book Red Tide by M. P. Woodward. It’s a military thriller where one of the main plot points is a Chinese spy seducing the son of the CEO of a semiconductor manufacturer, in order to export AI chips to China. The book was published last year. The author worked in naval intelligence, so I guess there may have been rumors about this scenario before…
I have a dumb question, what exactly does she have over him? Exposing nudes? Did he tell her secrets? What damming information or thing do they have?
Like can’t he just own it like yeah, I fucked this chick and am a piece of shit like all the other billionaires but I won’t fall for the sextortion
there was a massive theft GPUs or nvidia chips themselves just days before this came out. the chip can be used to in the computer system, usually navigation, inside of ICBMs. hence they are prohibited from going to china.
With respect, humanity has been able to navigate ICBMs before Nvidia chips came along. Not saying you’re wrong about something being stolen, but the link to ICBM navigation seems rather teneous.
i am saying you are wrong. humanity has not been able to navigate ICBMs. only major nuclear powers can. US allies get their nukes loaned to them from the US. China caused a playstion 2 shortage 20+ years ago just to get the chips because it was more powerful then what they had. you should do some research.
I mean, what?! How do you think France built its SLBMs in 1972? With Nvidia chips? lol.
Its a ballistic missile - we’ve known ballistic trajectories calculations since artillery became common. Yeah, they get more precise with star navigation and gyroscopes but if you can launch a rocket, you have to know roughly where it lands. The rest is just mega tonnage.
You just made my argument for me. glad we can establish that more powerful chips make missels more accurate lol do you finally understand why china is not allowed to have them, or need me to anwser more dumb questions that you could have just read about?
A gyroscope is not a computer chip, it’s a gyroscope.
Celestial navigation is based on cameras and processing that can be done by the kind of chip that sits on a bank card.
I think at this point nothing more is gained from this discussion. Have a good day.
Oh damn, okay that tracks. Thanks
He is/was married with kids
Yes, and thats sad for the family but hardly some unique thing for people. Ive seen that happen to normal people too - the cheating part ruining family*
She is suspected of being a Chinese spy. As in: an agent of foreign state sent to honeypot Huang and steal secrets.
Keep in mind that the GPU is a heavily regulated market with China being sanctioned - no exports of modern GPUs to China are legal.
(notice how nervously dismissing Jensen always is when asked about the black market GeForce cards already in China)
Suspected by who and with what evidence?
Here you go:
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/08/technology/nvidia-investigation-jensen-huang-china.html
In short: she’s the head of a weird company that works “totally outside of China” while having business relationships with multiple Chinese companies, and having been created as an offshoot a Chinese company directly connected to the CCP.
So just speculation?
I was not aware of this. So interesting and confusing to me as CPUs are readily available from China afaik
Is about very specific CPU/GPU
Trump started allowing some GPUs to be sold after a few bribes
He popped AI bubble with his dick.
/credit to the internet
He stuck something were he wasn’t supposed to and it sure wasn’t his nose.
Better put that leather jacket on and ride to the sunset my dude
“What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent Chinese meal?”
Apparently it was some kind of credit card fraud. They didnt have to do him so dirty like that, at least let him finish his succulent meal.
He was completely innocent, he was a victim of identity theft essentially.
He was innocent of the crime they accused him of at the time, but he was a fraudster.
Oh my god the plot thickens! That makes me happy tho lol
