YHK - yet another hacker news clone

The better metaphor is "where there's smoke, there's fire."

Three different news orgs have reported the different affairs.

Dont mess up with the intelligence community. He should have talked more to Jack Ma.

That's because it is. This is the worst case of a classic blackmail operation against Jensen and it is highly co-ordinated with major news outlets like the NYT, WSJ, The Economist and FT.

Someone powerful or a group of people did not want open weight AI models and Nvidia GPUs being accessible or sold in China and either:

1) Wanted him (Jensen) to stop selling GPUs in China and had his affairs recorded and used as dirt against him as selling GPUs into China also threatened the AI labs.

2) Insiders (and spies) used the affairs against Jensen to knowingly smuggle Nvidia GPUs into China from Singapore (despite the export issue) with too many of them that knew, and that leaked to the wrong person.

Not even China wants Nvidia GPUs and urges chinese AI companies to use homegrown Huawei GPUs. The chinese AI labs still choose Nvidia GPUs over Huawei anyway.

> What's really going on?

A lesson, apparently, for everyone asking "what the big deal is".

If ever you wanted to understand the meaning of the word "liability", here it is.

"Coordinated hits", as you put it, have as their prerequisite the creation of a "liability".

Journalism plus circumstances loosening tongues and reducing the downside of being truthful.

As the British police are fond of saying in cold case appeals: allegiances shift.

As it turns out, Huang was a fallible human being.

One affair always brings up other affairs out of the closet. Same rule goes for harassment and abuse claims.

That’s what is going on.

Correlation isn’t causation always. Once there’s a scandal, more people start digging, and the more they dig, the more they find. The news cycle continues rewarding more information, so you keep getting more.

This happens all the time with news stories and doesn't require conspiracy theories. Once an initial story breaks, other journalists investigate (if they weren't already). No doubt Nvidia started investigating internally and employees will have leaked the findings.

There isn't really even any point in this third story from the point of view of any "coordinated attack". He's already resigned.

>> What's really going on?

A shell game. This is the distraction portion. Then comes the switch, the reveal and the swipe. Watch the market indicators. Nobody buying and selling shares in a trillion-dollar company cares one iota about extramarital affairs. Something else is happening.

Are you serious? He had multiple affairs is what's going on. Including one with a spy. And people who wouldn't be believed before are now coming forward.

There's probably some mildly interesting risk-balancing that happened behind the scenes because the intel community apparently knew mid-2026 and only spilled the beans now, but this is entirely of Jensen's own doing. He confessed.

He clearly is a top performer, though, managing four-plus relationships is a big job.

One relationship per GPU core.

Bill Gates had a similar pattern

There are memes about... running SLI <wink wink nudge nudge>

And frankly at this point, where nothing surprises you anymore we should probably just enjoy some stupid pictures with captions

:)

Buy a brown one

You also need employees.

Maybe aging to 60+ won't be that bad? Thank you Jensen for showing younger men there is hope.

Plenty of benign explanations without needing tinfoil

- The affair(s) were so badly hidden that they became obvious once one was exposed

- High profile CEO of one of the biggest companies in the world means a lot of eyes

- something akin to the Streisand effect keeps things in the news cycle

The initial story about the spy dropped on October 29th, before the midterms.

At that point it was probably just a matter of time until the rest came out.

> If you find two ants in the kitchen, there are more than two ants in the kitchen.

And Jensen Huang may have had an improper relationship with at least one of them.

If the ant in your kitchen IPOs the same day you are evicted from your kitchen, the spies in your kitchen are not Chinese.

listening to the verge?

Is it so bad? He founded one of history's most successful companies in one of the most exciting sectors on the planet and ran it for 33 years. He's 63.

The only thing that would actually be bad is if his wife left him, which we don't know is happening yet. Some women accept the "risk" (to put it tastelessly) of marrying a hundred-billionaire, and stick it out.
