This whole thing regardless of how true, is obviously a planted story by the US Intelligence apparatus, or possibly AI labs as an entry mechanism to starting the process of stifling China's progress with AI.

Its extremely anti free market, anti competition. The AI labs spent ungodly amounts of money lobbying US policymakers over the last 6 months. Jensen has been one of the few people speaking reasonably on the China question, and that wasn't acceptable to the western oligarchs trying to control AI.

Regardles what you think of China, the average person only has access to useful amounts or AI because of China. They seem to be the only group interested in actually democratizing AI. We should think hard about our biases regarding China and question if those assumptions are actually projection.

Seems like everything we accuse China of being, we're actually guilty of that. Surveillance, govt interference in markets, dystopian justice systems.. These are all traits of the US Empire. I say this as someone whos lived in both, and am a white American (if that matters).

I got a misdemeanor in America for something I said in my own home, by myself playing a video game, that was picked up over a ring camera doorbell in the townhouse on the other side of the wall.... Does this happen in China?

Do we have any evidence this lady was a spy, or is it just US propaganda outlets leaks.

Americans brains are so one shot by hollywood that you can say any pretty foriegn lady is a spy and we'll believe you.

Great reply! Thanks for the very engaging comment!

Would love to hear what you have a problem with.

Hmm, though Nvidia would like to sell their chips to China, surely this would be bad for the US overall to remove a man who has only said positive things about selling to china not broken trade embargo as far as I know. This makes American business look bad and compromised.

Getting rid of Jesen might be useful for the US AI labs, but what exactly would be the plan their. I can not see a benefit to them with this move, though I can not see any thing particularly negative for them.

Well Jensen has been the one guy who's saying we shouldn't ban Chinese open source models atleast he's made rational statements on the matter. I'd say Chinese open source models are the single biggest threat to Anthropic and OpenAI.

That does make sense but I would have though Anthropic and OpenAI would just keep lobbying the government to do so and something like a demonstration of how 'bad' people having access to open models can be and how 'dangerous' it is would be the best thing for them to further their cause.

Whether you like it or not. Circumventing export controls is a crime.

But he hasnt done that, it seems. They're allegeding this company the lady was associated with has and it all seems like he said/she said hearsay.

The only evidence we have is Jensen drinking wine with this lady, I dont think him having drinks with someone is evidence he was participating in a conspiracy to circumvent export controls.

I dont really care if he jad an affair or not, but I think its crazy how easy it is to manufacture consent around the idea that he's a double agent by just posting picture of him being in the same room as someone.

Maybe more will come out, but there's no texts, emails or anything. Its just WSJ articles that had three pieces of legislation introduced to ban Chinese access to GPUs.

Its also wild how people think having GPUs is dangerous. China isnt going to harm us with matrix multiplication lol. Now Huawei will build better platforms, constraints are the seeds of innovation, if I was the US I would much rather flood their market with cheep back-doored GPUs. Which leads me to believe these actions are all on anti-competitive measures on behalf of Anthropic, who's spent a boatload on political lobbying.
