Jensen is an advocate for open source models and wants the whole humanity to benefit from AI, not just the US. Maybe that's what took him down. Anyway, it's clearly a coordinated hit job.
I am beginning to think the hamhanded manner of this takedown is itself signal to politically vulnerable players. When the public sphere of society has become so vulgar and crass (starting from the top potus) we can only wonder at the level of vitriol and jungle means that happens behind the scenes in semi private.
Jensen Huang is being crucified merely by newspaper articles and innuendos. And the level of social misbahavior by this poor schmuck who happned to land in the society circle of world class SHARKS is so pathetic compared with Epstein norms of these same elite (media, academia, industry, financy, tech, government, all Epstein friends) that it is stupid of us in general public to go along with this.
Jensen was never briefed by the intelligence agencies that he should cut ties with Alice, so he was never given the chance to sort things out quietly.
I see 3 potential orchestrators behind this hit job/"leak":
1. A foreign state actor, adversary of US (like China)
2. Ideological fundamentalists, either:
- Anti-AI/anti-capitalism Marxist types
- People that want to see AI nationalized or brought fully under Government control
- Dem official (elected or unelected) that wants to bring down the economy while it's run by the other side
3. A "China hawk" type inside the current Administration that wants to use this scandal to push legislation to track by GPS all SOTA chips and have a remote kill-switch controlled by Washington
I think either option 1 or option 3 are more likely, I hope we'll find out more in the next weeks.
The moves jensen made by selling gpus to China illegally in a sense kept thaiwan safer from invasion. Now all this China spy news is going down and in the same week China says it's taking thaiwan again. China does always say that, but maybe this is their way of saying "we aren't getting what we want anymore". Lots of stolen GPU shipments in the last month too. Hard to say.
