> This looks like a hit job on Jensen and Nvidia.

I honestly don't think this should be even a question at this point. This is systemic and organized. The pattern of the takedown is recognizable as well. That NYT and WSJ are teamed up is also informative.

I wonder: Is Jensen Huang the Jack Ma of the capitalist world?

Good question. In the case of Jack Ma, it was fairly obvious who wanted to punish him and why. In the case of Jensen, I hope we'll get to find out who's behind this.

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, will be interesting what we'll find out more in the next weeks.
