  • > US authorities have been investigating Megaspeed over suspicions that it helped Chinese firms circumvent US export restrictions and smuggle advanced Nvidia chips into China, the Times reported.

  • Sounds like a good Chinese spy. Jensen Huang is the exact kind of relationship I would want my spies to foster if I was China.

  • This is why courtiers were provided with state-mandated GFs for all of human history up until about 40 years ago.

  • I doubt Jensen is completely out of the scheme TBH.

  • Please can we get this fixed to point to the NY Times article; they broke this story no?

    Also, New York Post? Let's do better.

  • A couple of questions after reading this article. The Post is not exactly top notch journalism.

    First, does her activity actually fit the definition of “espionage”?

    Espionage is the act of secretly gathering confidential, classified, or proprietary information without the owner's permission

    The most important question is what she actually sent and how secret it was. Most companies have levels of secrecy ranging from non public to highly sensitive. For example, schematics of their chip would be concerning.

    Also, this seems pretty different from setting up a mic behind a TV.

    Second, although the article tries very hard to imply there was some kind of infidelity, adding irrelevant details about Jensen’s family, I don’t know that any of that happened.

  • Super weird that the only relationship documented in this article is two "dinners with AI executives in Asia." Does that count as a close relationship? I get invited to AI dinners in the Bay Area nonstop, and I understand they are always transactional (people wanting to sell me stuff), not actual relations with people who just happen to enjoy my presence...
