Not sure why the New York Post is being used here considering its complete lack of credibility and the fact this story appeared in the New York Times first

If she is an asset and was close enough to gain physical access to his phone or main computer, that's pretty much the ballgame. CEOs often don't want their devices being on company MDMs, that's for the underlings.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that this is just a hit piece - IE, they were looking to paint Nvidia and Jensen in some bad light and found a vague lead. Didn't matter if the evidence isn't substantial. Just publish and smear first.

Nothing has to be collected. All they need to show is that she has some link to foreign government intelligence and attempted to do anything. Good chance she was an unregistered agent which is a violation.

This. They seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill that seems to consist of a couple of normal business meetings.

Are you a CEO? Those invites might work a bit differently.

What exactly does "better" mean? Both are tools for manipulating public opinion. The NYT is better at inflating it's own reputation.

If NYT was honest, at some point in the past decade it would have acknowledged that one of the primary reporters on its Donald Trump beat was the daughter of an executive VP at the long-time PR firm of Fred and Donald Trump.

You’d be a pretty shit spy agency if you didn’t have agents at least in these people’s orbits.

Kind of like Jeffery Epstein and his relationship with Bill Gates, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Reid Hoffman...

What is going on with Megaspeed anyway?

It has always struck me as absurd that America is so accessible to Chinese nationals. The marginal boost to economic productivity isn’t worth the threat these people pose to national security; the Chinese understand this, so why don’t Americans?

You may be interested in the case of Bernard Boursicot.

> On that note, they never worked on french spies as infidelity and sex stuff hold seemingly zero leverage over french men.

Tell that to Jean-Luc Brunel.

Only a "close relationship", no sex is alleged.

It was publicly known that Mitterrand had a mistress

It's still advisable to pretend that it might work, though. Just saying...you've got to think strategically when you work in the national security business.

> "Makes me wonder what the next headline is going to be, probably some deal between NVidia and the federal government over export restrictions or something."

Chinese models disappearing from HuggingFace (recently acquired by Nvidia).

GLM-flash and Qwen-next disappeared from ArtificialAnalysis (the top benchmark site) a few days ago; I was wondering if that was a prelude to something greater. Testing the waters.

So they leaked a story about Nvidia violating export restrictions in order to “blackmail” Nvidia into… obeying export restrictions? Wow, that’s some good old fashioned Trumpian 44D chess right there.

What about this part: "President Trump was briefed and took no action." ?

What would Swalwell know?

Swalwell was targeted by Fang Fang in 2012 when he was on Dublin, California's city council and running for his first term in the House of Reps.

When he was by the FBI to Fang Fang's ties, he immediately cooperated with the FBI's investigation and did exactly what they requested.

Thinking Swalwell made any mistake whatsoever is a great shibboleth for a Twitterbrained midwit.

weaselwhistle

lol, honestly this is so stupid, did they really think that the GPUs wouldn't have wound up there?

He's saving it as kompromat.

No idea why you're getting down voted here. People are obviously willfully ignorant that a business would not be interested in doing business and making money, they really don't care who the customer is or why they're spending.

"Nvidia Corporation[a] (/ɛnˈvɪdiə/ en-VID-ee-ə) is an American multinational technology company"

Gates and Bezos slept around with younger women and lost more in divorces than 99.9999% of men could ever dream of making. Elon has recreated the backstabbing and infighting of imperial harem politics with a bunch of women he didn't even physically sleep with.

Despite his other failings you have to give Zuck credit for genuinely being a wholesome wifeguy by all appearances.

I can see it now. A US national security program to get future CEOs laid more. What.

I’m yet to see evidence that getting more in your youth makes you want less as you age.

I don't really understand the common wisdom that if you get enough when you're young, you won't want it later. It wasn't espionage, but Shannon Sharpe just lost a $100M ESPN media deal last year for chasing young tail, and he has been fit, wealthy, and famously a playboy surrounded by women since his early 20s if not earlier.

From what I have seen the truth is closer to the opposite; that you don't get it out of your system. You get it into your system. I'm afraid that if one truly wants to avoid these scandals you're better off following the Mike Pence playbook, not the Tony Stark one.

I think that is a rather simplistic view of what motivates people.

I would at least like to see some statistics on how much early adulthood behaviour predicts particular later life behaviours before making any conclusions.

Rather than characterising things as 'getting enough trim' perhaps a broader education in dealing with the emotions of life might be more productive.

In a society as transactional as ours (contemporary US culture) one must ask themselves "cui bono?" a hundred times a day. I'd imagine that if the answer is "me" enough times the one develops blind spots such as this one.

On the flip side novels have been written about the lies people tell themselves when they get romantically entangled with obvious troublemakers. Those plots didn't come from nowhere...

Likely never as that's an ego death many of these guys couldn't handle. They'd implode from shame.

It's not an unreasonable point, but let's not pretend these are naive chumps who crumble at the sight of a woman. In this case, Jensen could have been coordinating with intel agencies to feed disinformation or a honeypot honeypot. Obvious speculation, but clearly he understands the game on the table better than us. Still, it is a tactic as old as time, so I am sure plenty fall victim to some degree

universal basic girlfriend you say?

> not getting enough trim in your younger years

Huh?

wtf would that discussion even look like?

For each of your 80 stories there are probably a dozen stories of former frat boys and Trump/Epstein types also being in compromising relationships.

I think it has much less to do with any individual's sexual history and much more to do with the rapacious/hypersexual elite culture in USA and elsewhere.

Maybe monogamy is not natural for men?

I wish more billionaires kept their opinions to themselves, rather than trying to influence everybody.

It sounds like anti-Chinese propaganda. This is the NY Post we're talking about.

It is NY Post after all

EDIT: Looks like link now points to NYT

McCarthyism on the menu? Why, Cold War II is already being served! Hurry up, it's getting... cold : o

The article has nothing to do with race.

Lol what on earth?
