Agreed, the public has been far too quick to crucify Jensen based on unproven allegations. In a world where been others have done much worse and haven't seen this level of backlash, it's an open question why Jensen was targeted and why now.

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.
