I have a dumb question, what exactly does she have over him? Exposing nudes? Did he tell her secrets? What damming information or thing do they have?
Like can't he just own it like yeah, I fucked this chick and am a piece of shit like all the other billionaires but I won't fall for the sextortion
She is suspected of being a Chinese spy. As in: an agent of foreign state sent to honeypot Huang and steal secrets.
Keep in mind that the GPU is a heavily regulated market with China being sanctioned - no exports of modern GPUs to China are legal.
(notice how nervously dismissing Jensen always is when asked about the black market GeForce cards already in China)
I was not aware of this. So interesting and confusing to me as CPUs are readily available from China afaik

Is about very specific CPU/GPU
Suspected by who and with what evidence?
Here you go:

In short: she's the head of a weird company that works "totally outside of China" while having business relationships with multiple Chinese companies, and having been created as an offshoot a Chinese company directly connected to the CCP.
Trump started allowing some GPUs to be sold after a few bribes
there was a massive theft GPUs or nvidia chips themselves just days before this came out. the chip can be used to in the computer system, usually navigation, inside of ICBMs. hence they are prohibited from going to china.
With respect, humanity has been able to navigate ICBMs before Nvidia chips came along. Not saying you’re wrong about something being stolen, but the link to ICBM navigation seems rather teneous.
i am saying you are wrong. humanity has not been able to navigate ICBMs. only major nuclear powers can. US allies get their nukes loaned to them from the US. China caused a playstion 2 shortage 20+ years ago just to get the chips because it was more powerful then what they had. you should do some research.
I mean, what?! How do you think France built its SLBMs in 1972? With Nvidia chips? lol.
Its a ballistic missile - we’ve known ballistic trajectories calculations since artillery became common. Yeah, they get more precise with star navigation and gyroscopes but if you can launch a rocket, you have to know roughly where it lands. The rest is just mega tonnage.
You just made my argument for me. glad we can establish that more powerful chips make missels more accurate lol do you finally understand why china is not allowed to have them, or need me to anwser more dumb questions that you could have just read about?
Oh damn, okay that tracks. Thanks
He is/was married with kids
Yes, and thats sad for the family but hardly some unique thing for people. Ive seen that happen to normal people too - the cheating part ruining family*
