I wonder if his wife is contemplating divorce. This could be the mother of all fat divorce proceedings.
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.

Guess I am weird. Who the fuck cares where his weenie goes long as he runs the company well?
People care because the fate of a huge part of the country’s entire economy hangs on that man’s penis.
I think it is more a case of, it showed that there is still a weak link in all of this and it is not technological.
I don’t care about this kind of gossip level junk, but this for once has potential blow backs. Not that I really care about that either.
It’s not that he fucked, it’s who he fucked. You don’t fuck a spy for the country you are banned from selling the newest shit to.
It seems I have become Emily Litella. I just thought it was about the infidelity.
Edit wrong gif
It’s not that they were doing it, although the affair angle with a spy will get press.
It’s more that he was working with her to smuggle GPU units to China, which was in violation of export controls.
Then, with his influence in the Trump administration, worked to quash investigations into doing exactly that.

Spy.
Whole thing is just stupid IMO.
Found the shareholder!
Well, good thing you don’t work in national security
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.
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”.
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?
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).
Taiwan will sabotage infrastructure in such a scenario, but this line of analysis seems nonsensical. Incorporate Taiwan in to China and the world loses the ability to manufacture some chips that the West are reliant on which further solidifies China’s influence globally. Others will be forced to buy technology from China, even if it’s not as advanced as what Taiwan sold before. Who else is manufacturing these things? Not America.
China doesn’t need Taiwan. America needs Taiwan.
The military was enshitified before Smegmeth got there. The current level of incompetency and impotency couldn’t have happened over night. It’s taken decades to hollow out. There was some foreshadowing for how the Iran War would go when Biden tried to get the navy to build a supply pier. They had to hire maritime contractors to do it since the navy apparently doesn’t have that vital capability anymore.
The fact of the matter is that Taiwan could easily handle being attacked since it already has a very capable military and invading a across a body of water is like the single hardest thing to pull off.
The US Navy is kept there on “guard duty” in order to burn money and enrich contractors. If it had any deterrence value then it certainly won’t after the Iran War.
A lot of people have been talking about this.
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.
Maybe I’m old, maybe I’m out of touch, but it seems to me that this entire discussion is wrapped up in a metric f*** ton of misogyny.
This woman spent decades in industry, first commanding in finance management for a gaming company partner, and then production and distribution for that very gaming company, which grew into one of Alibaba’s largest cloud compute subsidiaries.
It’s someone who acted with agency and with acumen across time, and leveraged talents and a working relationship with one of the most pivotal executives in human history.
Today half of my Facebook feed is basically people calling her a two-bit whore and calling Jensen dumb, as if they both don’t deserve to be exactly where they are, didn’t make every decision that brought billions to their fiefdoms.
In less than a week I’ve seen $100,000 wiped off my balance sheet, and I fully anticipate seeing another $100k drop off before Nvidia even gets to their quarterly earnings call to discuss what the business is actually f****** doing.
It’s possible that this is the end of the road for my Nvidia Investments and that’s fine.
But te people are reaching for the most simplistic narrative and meanwhile all of the industry players are doing exactly what they’ve always done. Espionage, trade and arbitrage occurring in delicate dances between bedsheets and balance sheets.
While everyone’s meemaw and peepaw imagine some 25-year-old bar girl wandered into Jensen Huang’s pocket after the Chinese government bought her a plane ticket.

Boo hoo, your wealth means nothing to us.
You and I share a community. You and I will shape that Community with how we treat each other.
How are we going to encourage people today? Eyes on the prize. My nest egg is expendable ( like I said I’m willing and ready to watch it get obliterated in the markets) but accountability in our news sources and building a resilient democracy is not.
Your support of nVidia is a direct threat to a resilient democracy.
Wholeheartedly agree with you, and upvoting you. I have ONLY sold my shares, across more than the last year. Look up how much of the S&P 500 index is comprised of NVDA. Last I checked, like 34% of the index was just the mag 7 plus top 10 by market cap.
I’ve been divesting of tech stocks for the two years, butdoing it all at once would be too big of a tax bill for me to shoulder. I literally moved all of my IRA into ex-us funds and value stocks this past spring, because I agree with you that AI industry is a nascent threat to democracy.
At the very same time, I think it’s b******* when people try to bring out puritanical arguments and shittalk an executive woman as if she was just a piece of arm candy that is on the CCP’s take, as if there’s no plausible reason these two consenting adults would have reasons to do business together, and above all, pretending these GPU’s strategic defense assets.
That last one feeds directly into the bottom line that we hear from anthropic and open AI about how this Tech is really the Boogeyman and how we need to make the death machine before China makes the death machine first.
LLM’S AREN’T THE SINGULARITY AND STOP LETTING THESE PEOPLE MORALIZE IN SUCH BAD FAITH.
I’m not here to encourage people, I’m here to be an asshole. But yes you’re right on the last point, that’s something we should all want.
In less than a week I’ve seen $100,000 wiped off my balance sheet, and I fully anticipate seeing another $100k drop off before Nvidia even gets to their quarterly earnings call to discuss what the business is actually f****** doing.
Aww, boohoo. The shareholder is a sad little puppy.
Get fucked
You misunderstand me, I care more about the humans and about accountability then I do about personal wealth and that I’m prepared to lose that over and over again, in a fight for a healthy democracy.
That wealth is my retirement 401k, I’m gambling on all of us building something better than capitalists hoarding.
My biggest concern with this Nvidia scandal , if we can even call it that, is that it feeds the narrative that China Bad and I could absolutely see a push for more domestic surveillance state feeding the AI machine in the longer run.
The entire discussion is gossip, idk this just isn’t news to me. My neighbor got caught cheating on his wife too and nobody cares except for them.
Nothing about the trajectory of nvidia will change about this, the ceo could get arrested right now and it’s not going to change a single customer’s plans to buy their chips.
Thank you!
Those people aren’t as great as you make them out to be. They aren’t some kind of super human geniuses who know how to make the best decisions. The whole article is about them making bad decisions.
They got lucky that ai happens to run best on graphics cards that they were already making. The people at the top didn’t design the chips or do any of the really hard work. They just slap their name on it. These people are as human as you and I and they are capable of making the same awful mistakes.
I definitely don’t think these people are super human. They’re billionaires and that immediately clocks them as Bond villains in my book.
But Jensen Wong absolutely steered the company across decades, including the Sega maneuver that madr both of them hundreds of millions of dollars after t doubling down on a lifeline that kept NV afloat in a disastrous chapter.
My point is mostly, Jensen Huang is good at specifically what he does, and Ms Huang appears to be similarly calibered. Again, people are talking about them like they are bumbling fools and moralizing technical and data-driven things.
That’s it. I don’t care about the gossip and I don’t like empowering AI Bros with these National Security narratives when the reality is just a couple of Semi/Silicon C Suite f****** each other and making billions in distribution contracts.
I grew up on tech and I’ll be the first one to say it’s all bogus today. Efficiency is dead.
stealing a joke I read somewhere:
-Nvidia shared plummeted, first because midterm elections, and then because CEOs erections.
Word is they were funneling data center equipment through Singapore to China.
Yeah that’s what I heard that she wasn’t a spy per se just a business partner that let them sell chips to China that were banned from getting to China.
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.
That is a fantastic way to phrase social engineering, it gave me a good chuckle
Why do they care if China gets their IP? Isnt Nvidia done making consumer grade electronics?
There is more money to be made in commercial hardware than in consumer.
If all those datacenters get access to a lower cost equivalent that’ll poke a hole in Nvidia’s profits (and therefore shareholder value).
And will bring more hardware to the market and bring down prices. Let’s go Chinaaaa
I don’t want to look shame but? That’s it? That’s what it takes?
Man i have to commend how china operate to peg down allies that too cocky and high on tail, just send vixen to deal with it once and all.
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.
