It's... really not that hard. All you have to do is be content with what you have, and not go lusting after new opportunities. Although granted, anyone who can pull that off probably isn't going to be a multibillionaire CEO, because that's the kind of personality selected against among CEOs.

But if you're married, with kids, and you're willing to throw that away to chase someone else, I'd argue you have a serious personality flaw going on there.

>to chase someone else,

There is no chase here. It is the other way round.

Even if someone else is initiating it, you still have the power to say no. Especially if you're rich enough to be able to do things like apply for restraining orders or else to keep them away.

Jensen wasn't an innocent victim, he was still an active, voluntary participant.

Yes, but more or less in the same sense that drug addicts have the power to say "no".

It's not that easy to rebuff approaches from women you're very attracted to; it's much easier to avoid having the opportunity come up in the first place. I think at the very least the moral judgment should be accompanied by some empathy.

May be a better analogy is simply not any drugs, but a well funded and researched unique drug that is specifically designed for the target.

I am going to guess Jensen isn't even looking for beauty, although that is certainly part of the deal. But someone who is also business savvy, understands technology, smart and somehow well connected to AI as well as a business partner in some sense.

And perhaps it is worth pointing out the obvious, this isn't a simple beauty trap, it is a pys-op.

Although there is part of that thinks. Could Jensen knew of this all along. And it was just a way to get business going.

Being content with what you have arguably not a mutually compatible attribute with being a billionaire. Not even being snarky.

I'm not going to disagree with you--I've said multiple times in the past (not sure if I've said it here) that I don't think it's possible to be both ethical and a billionaire.

But that's not really a defense of the behavior, and it's perhaps a sign that we should stop valorizing billionaires.

Billionaires become that way by creating products and services that people are freely willing to pay for.

Nothing unethical about it.

What if Huang wasn't married/with family? Does he just never get to form close relationships after becoming successful?

>serious personality flaw

exactly, although I would double down that that is precisely the kind of personality being selected for by the system
