    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)

      Apparently it was some kind of credit card fraud. They didnt have to do him so dirty like that, at least let him finish his succulent meal.

    Who would’ve thought a country run by Pooh Bear would be so skilled at using honeypots.

    A bit off topic, but does anyone else hate this fake structure that some articles have? Here it’s these “headings” printed bold.

      It’s not AI. Axios used this format for years, going back to Trump’s first term.

      The original pitch was real, sourced journalism in a more concise format, to compete with Twitter and such.

      I like that (hence I’ve read Axios for years), but I do get annoyed by the lack of detail, sometimes.

      AI produces cookie-cutter bullshit.

      That said, at least for the time being, it gets down to brass tacks in the first paragraph or so. I guess they haven’t felt the need to keep your eyes on the page longer.

      Capitalist enshitifed journalism is the reason they’re ‘starving’ for readers. You can’t find a meat-created news article or a fucking recipe without sifting through 10 pages of hyperbole and nostalgia.

      Bring back the fucking newspaper article format where every word cost somebody money. Spend the money on paying someone to make sure the news is right and condense it into an article where your primary goal is conveying exactly what’s going on with a close fucking second goal of not wasting everyone’s time.

      Seems super common in reporting as well, I am noting it with basically every NPR news story these days. LLM’s love outputting this format as well. Almost the same thing that is happening with most media, people are so unfocused that you have to repeat things 20 different ways for them to remember, and the lack of actual journalism means they need to fill time with the ‘big stories’.

        You mean like Netflix making shows “second-screen” friendly? I doubt lack of focus ever really drove longer articles. It pushes them shorter and more towards bulleted lists and headlines only if anything.

        [Insert ad here. Lol.]

        Padding out the paragraph count just gives more spots for ads in between or more eyeball time for banner ads, and even if a site isn’t explicitly going for that, all the journalists (real or not) and LLMs are just trained to only write that way now.

      So much is paywalled now that I haven’t read enough articles to even notice that format.

    Result of the investigation: great revenue stream, keep on! Also, nice idea to create plausible deniability through “affair”.

    If AI is so great, he could have avoided all this drama by just getting an AI mistress. What’s up with that Huang?

    Makes me wonder if this gonna change GPU prices because ever since they started pandering to the crypto and AIslop crowd their fucking GPUs became out of reach to all but those with fuck-you money.

      I wonder separately if he is in the Epstein files. He’s not ivy league, he and a bunch of these pricks like microsoft’s guy went to the same Indian University or something. And idk if he was big time enough for epstein to bother with when they were running that honeypot.

      Still, I wonder though.
