Jensen was a huge supporter of open weight models and exporting GPUs to China, both of which Anthropic didn't like, and he's been pretty critical about all the AI safety and doomer stuff the frontier labs have been on about.

But honestly, I would not have expected something like from Dario. Heck, I have a hard time seeing even Altman trying something like this, largely because he realizes his dependency on GPUs and the role Jensen has been playing in boosting the entire AI economy. If Dario is driving this, it seems uncharacteristically short-sighted.

Nvidia blowing up hurts all of the other big AI companies, except for them (and Google)

> What constitutes the reason for a political hit job?

The timing is curious; the admin knew for at least a year and managed to keep a lid on it, and then congress flipped, meaning the oversight and intelligence committees would be chaired by people with a (D) in their name

> Seems to me that Trump likes Jensen quite a bit

Marco Rubio probably doesn't; which would explain why it was leaked to the press and not via a formal DoJ or Commerce Department investigation. If Rubio has presidential ambitions, now is probably the best time for this to come out and not after the Democratic party gets subpoena power, and difficult questions about the administrations inaction to go with it.

he's implying that anthropic employees want Jensen gone because he doesn't care about existential risk and such + he's pro open weight models and if he's getting cards to china he is propping up the models they like to whine about.

I've seen claims that it's anyone from Marco Rubio to Sam Altman, but I'm not really that sure what to think. There are a lot of players with our era's unique mix of idiocy and incompetence involved.

Maybe Musk needs someone else to take the hit for meddling in the US.

You could make an argument that Jensen became super maga, and made all these donations after he hired a crisis PR firm out of nowhere a little over a year ago. And recent remarks from Trump about threatening the head of an AI company with jail time as well. They could easily have been extorting him.

He did get suspiciously political very quickly around that time. Im definately not convinced that this is a Red Vs Blue thing, I think there's plenty of people on Trumps team that are extreme China hawks.

Its hard to know for sure, but I dont think the lady was a spy. Atleast not until I see evidence.

We do this kind of mysoginist thing in the West when we see successful, well dressed Chinese women close to polticians, CEOs and label them spies, pawns of the CCP... Like Mitch McConnels wife gets this treatment frequently.

Even if she was funneling GPUs to China, which there's also no evidence for other than claims in the WSJ that lack any evidence. I dont think being a cunning business women makes someone a spy, nor does it make Jensen complicit.

Its as if we dont want to admit to ourselves that its possible for the Chinese to be successful, cunning and tactical like any other business person without it being a shadowy plot of the communsit party.

Its very weird, and it makes it super easy to manufacture consent around stories like this.

my best guess is NatSec folks, perhaps BigAi too

there are very differing opinions among the presidents cabinet, re: Ai, chips, open weights and certainly some real china hawks in the NatSec bureaus

The type of person who takes NYT reporting uncritically would not change their opinion if this is false. The NYT has been deeply embedded in the American state propaganda arm for a long time, remember WMDs in Iraq?

How are they conspiracies...This is CNNs reporting. I hate how people can just label something a conspiracy to discredit it. I dont believe in conspiracies actually, everything I said is verifiably true. You are literally a character out of an Orwell novel. Think for yourself for once.

Not really relevant,

But the NYT laundered crimes against humanity and covered up the death of 30k children over the last three years. They published dozens of provably fabricated stories to do so. Sorry they dont have weight to their journalism, they are completely beholden to whatever special interest that benefits them.

Ana Swanson, the NYT journalist who broke this scoop on Jensen frequently uses Jack Clark an Anthropic founder as a source in her AI scoops.

Dont call me a conspiracy theorist, its extremely insulting.

Stop letting people think for you. There's little chance you verified any of the reporting of the NYT. Wild, we literally live in 1984, peoole do not think for themselves...

You have the internet you can verify things that journalists say, you can fact check people. Try it!
