It is as much of a mistake to anthropomorphize billionaires as it is to anthropomorphize LLMs. People with resources greater than nations are .001% human and the rest is closer to a lovecraftian god. Consider that he can shatter markets or send massive trading companies under simply by having an affair. The empathy is misplaced.

The mistake is to direct your empathy only one way

		Absolutely not. The value of empathy is not "have empathy because empathy is good", it is in the pro-social outcomes. Empathy is wasted, and counterproductively so, on the non-empathetic, especially on the powerful and destructive. It is a peace treaty, much like tolerance.

He actually built something amazing. That is why he should be thanked and left alone, not thrown under the bus.

So much hate for him, it is sad.

		He jumped in front of that bus himself. If the investigation turns out he was definitely orchestrating defying export controls then it's more like he drove one bus into another. He deserves every bit of embarrassment and ridicule no matter how impressive his business accomplishments were up to now.

		He quickly threw a small but original market under the bus without hesitation. I'm sure every man, woman, and child without a 5090 is chuckling

Are you and I looking at the same thing? Huang is a human, in every way you and I are. If he took a DNA test it would say he's human. Right now he is a human having what is probably the worst week of his life. A pretty good life? Sure. But empathy isn't about weighing what he "deserves" or making arbitrary judgements about how he should feel in regards to the level of wealth & power he wields. The fact is he's a human being who is experiencing a lot of pain. You should feel empathy for him and for the people he's hurt. If you don't, maybe you're more like an LLM.
