YHK - yet another hacker news clone

Hmm, looks like maybe he was "not consistently candid in his communications with the board"... Now where have I heard this before?

What a sticky situation to be in. it was strange to see the Nvidia spokespeople so outwardly supportive of the arrangement between them at first. I remember reading that they said the US government would have let them know if she was a threat. Also probably doesn't feel the best to be his wife or family right now. Hope this doesn't spell more problems for them politically. But if it does, it's probably warranted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The fall of Jensen Huang was not on my bingo card for this year.

Human after all

…for possibly being the target of a foreign intelligence operation. I don’t think they are trying to say he himself was intentionally doing something bad.

Maybe the title should be changed?

Damn things just got real. down 3% on XYZ platform

Sending women to spy on powerful man, oldest trick in the book...

Really disappointing.

It’s interesting one sees so many cases of intelligence services using female agents to target men in this way.

Why doesn’t it happen the other way around as much? Why don’t you see intelligence services using male agents to target powerful women in a similar way as much?

There's no explanation of whether he got sextorted, or what the plan was to get sensitive information from him.

Or was the plan just to publicly humiliate him in hopes he'd get replaced by someone less capable?

obvious Lou Pai style play here

they’re setting in motion a plan to get a divorce judge to order the selling of their shares before the bubble bursts

making an otherwise prohibited transaction to be legal

I don’t think that was totally planned during the affair, but the opportunity arised with the election and created a reason for Jensen to admit it so decisively after everyone knows she was a spy

They say any man can be seduced by one of these three: money, drugs or sex.

Or as Charlie Munger put it: There are only three ways a smart person can go broke: Liquor, ladies, and leverage.“

The better question would be who is leaking classified US intelligence in an attempt to blackmail Jensen Huang and/or destroy the US's most valuable AI infrastructure asset?

The attack isn't coming from China. It is coming from the NY Times, FT, and presumably some employees of the CIA who are committing felonies.

China targets everyone of consequence, of course they targeted Jensen. This may be a 'game of thrones' nefarious move by hostile foreign or domestic parties who want to wrest defacto control, perhaps angle to put their puppet in control, or otherwise leverage Nvidia by taking down its Founder and CEO. It is completely unproven and should not be assumed that Jensen nor Nvidia took part in anything untoward at all. Historically, Jensen doesn't do stupid. So whether you like him or not, I do not believe he would be that stupid.

Will remain CEO and suffer no consequences.

If they pull the thread enough they might find Huang was complicit in the illegal shipments of Nvidia GPUs to China via Singapore. The connection with Megaspeed (Singapore-based data center and cloud company) is too hard to ignore.
