Whether or not she was technically a Chinese spy honestly seems irrelevant to me... What happened here wasn't espionage in the conventional sense, it was just a regular criminal conspiracy. Jensen was loudly advocating against export controls on GPUs back in 2022, before he supposedly even met Alice Huang for the first time. He was looking for a way to circumvent export controls and keep revenues growing, and her company had the perfect setup to do it. Who cares if China set up and provided all of the capital for that company? Even a little bit of diligence on the part of Nvidia would have exposed Megaspeed as a front. They knew, and they sold them the GPUs anyway — no spying required.

The fact Jensen probably fucked her is spicy gossip and certainly a dark smear on his character as a husband and father, but it wasn't some honeypot. He already wanted to sell the most GPUs possible. The point is that Jensen conspired with her to circumvent US export controls and that he knew what he was doing.

I'd be a lot more impressed by this move if Hegseth issued an apology — or did literally anything else to demonstrate that he understands why his behavior was distasteful.

He hasn't done that. He's trying to score brownie points with a "I support our troops" message without actually acknowledging that he personally did anything wrong.

Meanwhile, her parent company (which just removed 25% of its workforce and replaced them with AI), is experiencing a severe service outage.

I think you mean his huang

Can we use the same "lawful process" the Pentagon used to smoke all those boats in the Caribbean?

No wonder he said he was "happy to pay" the $8 billion wealth tax California recently passed. China was covering it for him.

Sadly I can't give any specific technical details without potentially doxxing myself to my employer, but I've reviewed 5 or 6 AI-generated PRs in the last year that have contained some pretty severe bugs — the kind of stuff that would have caused serious service outages and security breaches if allowed to go to production.

Those 5 or 6 were among dozens of PRs, and the amount of code I'm being asked to review is only increasing. Even being diligent, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before something nasty slips by me, especially now that the process of reviewing code has become so fucking exhausting.

The only good live service game is a cancelled live service game.

Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey

Right? This just feels like a scheme to "launder" astroturfing and make it seem more legitimate.

He's cooked.

Even Ted Cruz is talking publicly about how he's going to be impeached. If Hegseth were really the paragon of masculinity as he wants people to believe, he'd have the dignity to resign...

...but we all know he's really just a cowardly little worm who'll cry like a baby when he's forcefully removed from the Pentagon.
