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
He’s now famous not only for his leather jacket but also for having let her jack it.
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.
“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
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…
Just an affair? C’mon headline, it’s not every day we find out a billionaire and CEO has fallen for a foreign honeypot espionage operation
“Honeypot operation” but it is selling billions in dollars of graphics cards
So five 5090s?
4 5090s next January 🤨
Tell me lover, when is your next secret shipment leaving the warehouse?
Probably should have tipped him off.
Well, at least it wasn’t one involving anybody underaged, which in this day and age is actually pretty good for billionaire CEOs.
Its like 1 day when Trump idiocracy isn’t dominating the news. Since he needs constant attention, I’m sure there is a tweet building…

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.
What info did he give her? I’ve been trying to find this info
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.
Guess he got…
sunglasses
Huang out to dry.
YEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
Hey come and on, two Huangs don’t make a right.
Shut up wisley?
He probably thought his shitty jacket was the reason he was getting pussy.
That and the fact that he’s a billionaire.
That’s the joke.
The joke is that it was a Chinese spy. 🙃
The joke is Jensen Huang
Because he is a billionaire and CEO.
Because he can send sanctioned GPUs to China. His personal wealth has little to do with it.
If AI is so great, he could have avoided all this drama by just getting an AI mistress. What’s up with that Huang?
If AI is so great
How come the AI did not warn him the mistress was a spy?
OOOoooOOO, Jensen Huang-san.
A bit off topic, but does anyone else hate this fake structure that some articles have? Here it’s these “headings” printed bold.
Why it matters:

What they’re saying:Noticed that there’s no section for evidence lol
What’s fake about it? Idk i like structured writing.
Ai ai ai

AI produces cookie-cutter bullshit.
That said, at least for the time being, it gets down to brass tacks in the first paragraph or so. I guess they haven’t felt the need to keep your eyes on the page longer.
Capitalist enshitifed journalism is the reason they’re ‘starving’ for readers. You can’t find a meat-created news article or a fucking recipe without sifting through 10 pages of hyperbole and nostalgia.
Bring back the fucking newspaper article format where every word cost somebody money. Spend the money on paying someone to make sure the news is right and condense it into an article where your primary goal is conveying exactly what’s going on with a close fucking second goal of not wasting everyone’s time.
So. Fucking. Much.
It’s not AI. Axios used this format for years, going back to Trump’s first term.
The original pitch was real, sourced journalism in a more concise format, to compete with Twitter and such.
I like that (hence I’ve read Axios for years), but I do get annoyed by the lack of detail, sometimes.
Seems super common in reporting as well, I am noting it with basically every NPR news story these days. LLM’s love outputting this format as well. Almost the same thing that is happening with most media, people are so unfocused that you have to repeat things 20 different ways for them to remember, and the lack of actual journalism means they need to fill time with the ‘big stories’.
You mean like Netflix making shows “second-screen” friendly? I doubt lack of focus ever really drove longer articles. It pushes them shorter and more towards bulleted lists and headlines only if anything.
[Insert ad here. Lol.]
Padding out the paragraph count just gives more spots for ads in between or more eyeball time for banner ads, and even if a site isn’t explicitly going for that, all the journalists (real or not) and LLMs are just trained to only write that way now.
So much is paywalled now that I haven’t read enough articles to even notice that format.
APNews and Al Jazeera
I put these AI articles to another AI to get the bottom line/1 sentence summary.
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”
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?
True but wanting to ease trade restrictions so you can monetarily benefit doesn’t fit the definition of spying as I understand it lol
Just typical anti China bigotry.
Who would’ve thought a country run by Pooh Bear would be so skilled at using honeypots.
I’d rather pooh bear than a narcissistic pedophilic rapist war criminal who wants to fuck his own daughter, but who am I to judge?
Hunny pots.
