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.
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
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.
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…
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.
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?
True but wanting to ease trade restrictions so you can monetarily benefit doesn’t fit the definition of spying as I understand it lol
“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
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.
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
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)
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
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?
Trump started allowing some GPUs to be sold after a few bribes
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?
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*
Guess he got…
sunglasses
Huang out to dry.
YEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!
Hey come and on, two Huangs don’t make a right.
Shut up wisley?
He popped AI bubble with his dick.

A bit off topic, but does anyone else hate this fake structure that some articles have? Here it’s these “headings” printed bold.

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

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.
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.
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.
