Mainstream media really wants to focus on the fucking and not what the spy was getting in return...

    He's not resinging because of side pieces...

    It's because one was a spy for the Chinese government.

    Multiple countries should be doing independent parallel investigations, it will likely all be swept under the rug to save the AI industry.

    It’s too early simplistic to stop at he slept with a spy

    He was having a multiple years long affair with a Chinese intelligence asset who ran a Chinese chip manufacturing company. So that’s someone who the CCP felt they could exploit, and who has a ton of in-field knowledge and would deeply understand any info from him.

    Just the divorce is going to cost him almost a 50-100 billion dollars (depending where the stock price settles on his 4% split to 2%). Throw in the job loss on a job he’s done for nearly 34 years. That’s a lot of leverage.

    This situation was massively exploitable, multiple intelligence agencies knew, the White House knew and decided to leak it after midterms.

    I’m going to guess there’s more to this, and probably some George Bluth style “light treason”. I’d bet money he’s been blackmailed by Trump admin, I’d bet money he’s has leaked material non public info (violating at minimum SEC rules), and that he probably approved deals that avoided sanctions, given the billions of chips sales that bypassed export laws.

    I think he's probably resigning because he's knocked 1/3 off the stock price of the most valuable company in the world by being so, so stupid. This has got to be in the top 5 biggest screwups in business history, I mean this is solidly in "do not go into buildings taller than 1 storey" territory. God, what a beautiful thing it is...

    It's more likely the prior crash was due to signs Republicans would lose the midterms...

    If the crash months ago was because people found out he was banging a spy, that's a huge fucking deal because it was either insider trading as governmenta found out, or people found out and just never reported to governments.

    Or shorted the stock then reported.

    Regardless of what happened, there needs to be a shit ton of investigations over this.

    This isn't just profits, it's national security for a shit ton of separate countries.

    Nono I mean since this story broke (with the NYT report on the 29th) Nvidia stock has fallen by a full 1/4 - and it's lost 1/3 since the high a month ago. Like he couldn't-keep-it-in-his-pants'd away trillions of dollars in value, and it's fuckin' beautiful to see.

    lost 1/3 since the high a month ago

    And I'm saying that drop may have been because people found out he'd pulled a Winny the Pooh and got stuck in a Honeypot...

    And that investigations need to be done to find out what was happening here.

    If only Trump didn't stonewall Singapore's investigation. They had her and confiscated her passport, Trump refused to cooperate and they had to let her go. Now she is safe in China.

    spicy take...he knew who she was but used her to access a denied market and circumvent export bans from the Biden era. This is the real story the media isnt focused on because the relationship makes better headlines/sex sells

    ☝️☝️

    There's been enough investigative journalism into this for at least a year if not more, shell companies in Singapore and all.

    Also the Chinese gov't has been blocking imports in China for a while in order to force domestic chip use.

    Jensen admitted his fear was being overtaken by Chinese tech firms that would reverse engineer his GPUs and improve on them costing him billions in access to the chinese market. he saw an opportunity to access this market, an opportunity that had an expiration date...

    bingo. The interweb is flooded with "it was just a sex scandal" comments. He fucking smuggled controlled chips via MegaSpeed and he's looking at export law violations , plus wire fraud. Try this as a single meatbag and you could get 20 years. Let's see how far the Trump bribes will help him.

    This smells to me like some diversion, coverup, or simply bailing before the economic clusterfuck bubble pop is gonna produce. Since when do people care about some billionaire fucking someone on the side? It's just Tuesday for them. Don't know what it is yet, bu I guess we'll find out. Smells fishy though.

    I bet AI collapses in the next year. it was a card tower built by nvidia passing an imaginary billion dollars back and forth between itself and various AI companies, sending stocks to the moon without a single actual dollar changing hands.

    He saw his chance to escape the coming disaster he created and took it.

    So that's enough to resign, yet having raped children is not enough for a president to resign? It's not even enough for a guy not to be voted for to become president. He's also supporting China and Russia in many ways. So he's the worst traitor of them all, while ruining the country worse than any other president. I'm glad Huang is gone, but man, is this weird AF.
