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.

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 change.

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

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.

One relationship per GPU core.

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.

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