"The ouster of Huang is portentous for the alliance between the Trump administration and the so-called 'tech right,' or the leaders of Silicon Valley’s recent conservative inflection."

"Huang himself did not do much political giving or display overt partisan leanings. But he was a leader of the tech billionaire class’s political push, which included crafting a grow-at-all-costs A.I. agenda that the billionaires argued was good for the U.S. (and was certainly good for Nvidia.)"

Writes Theodore Schleifer, in "Live Updates: Jensen Huang Resigns From Nvidia After Affairs/The longtime head of the chip-making colossus admitted to an affair with a woman identified as a spy for China. He was also said to have had a relationship with an executive who reported to him" (NYT).

If she was indeed a spy for China, it seems likely to me that the aim of the operation was not information or access to chips, but rather the downfall and elimination of an effective leader of western AI efforts. Everything was too public and too easily discoverable.

He admitted ten advanced chips are in the possession of the Chinese manufacturer for which the spy acted as CEO. He appears to have admitted a violation of the export controls. I hope no one in Trump’s Whitehouse was involved in facilitating or allowing or overlooking any aspect of this technology leak.

Howard Lutnick was repeatedly warned about Megaspeed and the national security implications, yet reportedly did little to act. White House and intelligence officials had been pressing Commerce to intervene since fall 2025, according to Axios.

If Democrats are looking for an opportunity to hold this administration accountable, here it is. The national security implications alone warrant serious congressional scrutiny.

Mike (MJB Wolf) म्हणाले...

Apparently many people are unaware of China’s all out blitz to get their hands on the most advanced chips. This was not political or a romance. It was corporate espionage and succeeded. China has thousands of nationals here pursuing chips and the machinery capable of producing 4 namometer scale processors.

They have been unable to reverse engineer the chips because the Chinese tech is not precise enough. The West has an advantage. But the window is closing.

IEE - nice try yourself.
more than just IA.
These days the words “data center” make people picture AI, but that’s a small slice of what these buildings actually do. Most of what runs inside them is ordinary life. Your streaming shows. Your bank balance. Your medical records. Your kid’s school portal. The card reader at the coffee shop. The biggest game ever made is about to be delivered by the same buildings, in the same way, for the same reason. Data centers are not an AI story. They are a modern life story, and building more of them is how modern life keeps working as the files get bigger and more of our lives move online.

Which raises a fair question: If we do not want these buildings, what do we want instead? Because computing demand does not go away. Before the big cloud companies existed, before AWS and Azure, every business of any size kept its own servers, and a lot of them kept those servers in a closet or a basement. Hot, loud, held together with hope, and down at the worst possible moment. That was the 1990s internet, and nobody who lived with it wants it back.

Do we really want server farms in basements again?"

IEE(D)

Data centers are the physical backbone of the internet itself—not just the latest AI.

They house the servers, storage, and networking gear that power:

Websites, apps, and cloud services (email, banking, shopping, enterprise software)
Streaming and media (Netflix, YouTube, social feeds, gaming)
Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and edge facilities that cache popular content close to users so pages and videos load fast with low latency instead of traveling across the country or ocean every time⁠Edge
Interconnection and peering points where networks exchange traffic efficiently
AI (especially large model training and inference) is a major new driver of growth and power demand, but it is far from the only workload. Estimates put traditional cloud, streaming, and other non-AI uses as still accounting for a large or majority share of capacity, even in facilities built during the recent AI surge. One analysis projected AI at around 27% of U.S. data center workloads in the near term, with cloud applications and similar uses making up roughly half.⁠Badgerinstitute

Building or expanding data centers also frequently brings new high-capacity fiber routes into an area. That infrastructure benefits local broadband and overall network performance beyond just the facility’s own traffic.⁠Badgerinstitute

In short, high-speed internet as most people experience it depends on this distributed network of data centers, CDNs, and connectivity. AI is an important and rapidly growing layer on top, but the foundation was already there for everything else.

NVIDIA’s financial support for companies like OpenAI increasingly resembles vendor financing: helping customers fund purchases of NVIDIA’s own chips. In effect, it’s helping finance the demand driving its own sales. That’s not necessarily artificial revenue, but it raises serious questions about sustainability. When the AI spending boom cools, NVIDIA’s sales and share price could take a major hit. Let’s wait and see.

It seems more to me like the corporate creatures are capitalizing on an opportunity. A brilliant founder of a tech company has served his purpose and made his executive team wealthy. But now they see the opportunity to take control and get on with some serious monetizing. This is a common trajectory for corporations that start with innovation, succeed beautifully, but outgrow their meteoric rise and are now transforming from innovators to gargantuan corporations with enormous economic influence.

And of course the political creatures are similarly seeing opportunity.

Huang is in the way, and is being served up - but, also usefully.

Colorado's DATA centers:
"This week, tens of millions of people will start downloading the same video game, and almost none of them will think about where it comes from. Grand Theft Auto VI is expected to be the biggest-grossing video game ever sold, and it has no disc. Buy it at GameStop, and the box holds only a printed code. Every copy travels from a data center, over the internet, to a console at home.

Here is the part that might surprise you: If you play in Colorado, your copy most likely comes from right here, inside the state."

Peachy+2 म्हणाले...

Colorado's DATA centers:
"The edge network
Colorado has more than 60 data centers, and you have probably driven past a dozen of them without noticing. They are the plain, windowless buildings around Denver, Aurora, Englewood, and Colorado Springs, and together they form something engineers call the edge network. The idea behind the edge network is easy to understand. Denver is where the Mountain West’s internet comes together, the crossroads where networks meet and swap traffic. Because the crossroads is here, companies keep copies of the things everybody wants–games, shows, apps, etc.–close to the people who want them.

Think of it the way a library system works. When a book is a bestseller, every branch stocks its own copies. Nobody drives downtown to borrow the one copy at the main library. The edge network is the Internet’s version of that.

GTA VI will be a bestseller. The game needs up to 212 gigabytes of storage, more room than a lot of laptops have altogether. It goes on sale Thursday, November 19, and downloading starts nine days early, on November 10, with Xbox players in Colorado able to begin at 5 p.m. on November 9. That head start is deliberate. The game’s publisher, Rockstar, knows what happens when millions of people reach for the same enormous file in the same hour, so copies are placed in data centers near players ahead of time, and downloading is spread across nine days and nights, much of it while people sleep.

And millions will reach for it. The last game in the series sold 11 million copies on its first day, thirteen years ago, when most games still came on discs. Forecasters expect this one to sell around 40 million copies in its first few months. On the first weekend, several million Americans will be playing at the same time on the same evening. The record for people playing one game at once is about 14 million. This launch has a real chance to test it.

So why won’t your internet slow to a crawl that week? Three plain reasons. The downloads are spread out over nine days instead of one bad hour. The file comes from down the road instead of across the country, so the big national routes stay clear. And the companies that run these delivery systems handle a rush like this every single night, when half the country sits down and presses play on a streaming show at the same time.

One local copy of the game can serve a whole city. The system was built for exactly this kind of night."

Data centers provide the computing, storage and services that make much of what we do online possible. They’re complementary parts of the same infrastructure, not interchangeable terms.

"Wouldn't it be great if the chips the Red Chinese received had some sort of problem -- or another twist beyond my imagination's cleverness? Such things have been known to happen."

That would be simple karma, because that's what the Chinese do to everyone else:

1. One reason for the 40-mile traffic jam NE of Kyiv that took a couple of weeks to clear, and helped stop the Russian invasion in 2022 was that brand-new Chinese truck tires were shredding on ordinary gravel roads. The question was (and still is) whether all Chinese truck tires are crap (good news for Taiwan), or whether China sells Russia all the tires that fail inspection and keeps the ones that pass (good news for Ukraine, but not Taiwan).

2. Norway bought a bunch of brand-new Chinese electric buses, and tested one by putting it a mile deep in a coal mine to see what happened ("Project Lion Cage"). The damned vehicle spent the whole time trying to send data to Chinese servers. It's pretty obvious that all Chinese-made vehicles that are exported have overrides that allow them to be controlled from China. Whether they would just be "bricked" if China decided to push the button, or would blow up, drive off cliffs, run up on sidewalks and crush pedestrians, or what, is not obvious, but something bad would happen.

Last week, hundreds of grocery store freezers in a dozen European countries all went up 50° C (that's 122° F) in the middle of the night and ruined all the food in them. France is blaming Iran for the hack. Probably that was done by hacking into the network from outside. If the freezers were manufactured in a sufficiently nasty country, such things would be even easier.

Thank you, nihilist fuckers, try to be optimists, all right? Your dick still works, hopefully. As long as your dick is working, I'd be happy. Homeless people love my ass. Ask them what they think of Saint Croix giving money away. They are always thanking God for me. Sometimes they help me out. That homeless woman who saved my choking ass. Another homeless guy helped me find my way home after some CIA asshole put some drugs in my beer or something. What a sweetheart that guy was. The homeless rock. Way nicer than rich people when it comes to helping me out. Although I'm guessing it was a rich guy who bought that tenderloin for all the homeless spending Christmas Eve in All Saints Hall. You almost killed my ass, rich guy! I'll forgive you. That was really good steak. Rich people are pulling for me because I hate fucking Marxists like crazy. Anybody who likes a laugh. Vulgar people love my ass. Although some of them are shockingly jealous. Hey, somebody has to be #1. You be #2, Deuce. You can do it. And then there are the people who refuse to believe in this shit. And that keeps their mind blocked and Satan is like, "What is wrong with these fuckers I have been sending signals all night." I mean, when you get right down to it, it's a Satanic miracle that Satan has been able to attack me at all. Mostly by coming after me and my spirit. You know that expression, "he's his own worst enemy?" By God, that is true. So as long as I keep a handle on my own capacity for evil, I can mock the red demon downstairs all fucking day. Which is kinda scary, because Jesus was pretty polite to him? Didn't call him names or say shit to him. I'm like, uh-oh. Maybe I ought to be polite to Satan, like Jesus was in the Bible. You don't see Jesus cussing Satan out. So that makes me nervous. On the other hand, Jesus has my back. So if you know Jesus, thank him for me. I love him. He's the best. My rabbi is the man.

The reason AI will thrive is because most people are idiots, and colleges are pumping them out via DEI. If you use AI (Grok, Co-Pilot, Claude, etc...) 1) They're polite 2) not lazy 3) fast 4) accurate 5) and don't play office politics.

Basically I forgive Microsoft 365 for being down today. It's and overload they will fix it. I use Microsoft Co-Pilot upgrade. I'm saving time and outputting three of me.

Shit that would take me 8hrs or days, is taking 20 minutes. And If I don't get what I want / need, a) I didn't prompt in correctly, or b) I just need to give in some additional information.

And...it learns. It get's faster and more accurate at the repeat tasks you ask it to output.

My Last Will and Testament.

I don't have a pen, so I'm putting it up on the Althouse blog.

My father had his will ready to go in his 30's. I'm like, Dad, you're not going to die any time soon. My father was prepared like the Boy Scouts. He had a list of songs he wanted to play at his funeral. And he gave me the list!

I'm like, "Dad, this is so morbid."

"We're all going to die. You know I'm right."

"Yeah, but..."

"Prepare for the worst. Hope for the best."

"Dad, why don't you keep the list."

"No."

"Keep it in the sock drawer. And I'll find it."

"No. You keep it for me, son. This is a sacred trust."

"Dad, I will lose this list of songs. You know my organizational skills are shoddy. The chance that I will keep a hold of a piece of paper? No way. Put it in the sock drawer."

"You might not find it."

"Please put it in the sock drawer."

"Okay, okay."

(It's lost)

Dad also wanted me to get Lisa, one of our priests, to handle the eulogy. At Christ Church, Lisa is the top funeral priest. She is high status at the funerals. She's retired now. But still, I figure she's in big demand. So I tried to sign her up ahead of time.

"Taylor, your father is still alive."

"I know."

Apparently, it's ridiculous to try to sign up a priest for the eulogy when your father is still alive. So she's laughing and happy. And, also, she said she can't commit now. She's afraid of commitment. Which cracks me up.

"Why aren't you married?"

"Afraid of commitment."

That's my life story, man.

Anyway, here's my will. Just in case! Don't freak out. The last time I sent a will out to my family, my father and my mother and my brother all freaked out. "Are you about to die? What's going on?" I don't know how the hell other people do wills. So don't freak out, Althouse blog. It's just a will. Relax! I'm 59. I need a will.

All right.

Everything to Christ Episcopal Church in Charlotte, North Carolina.

But first they have to put all my blue art up on the walls of All Saints Hall and leave it up for a year. Price tag, $10,000 per painting. Proceeds of these sales are to go to Zoe "Do Over" Mulligan. She's the bartender at Lucky Dog and she's also a nurse at one of the hospitals. Not a nurse exactly. She's beneath nurse. Maybe a physician assistant? She puts data in a computer. The other condition for you, Christ Church, is that you find a home for my dog, Blue. If you fail to put my art on the walls for a year, or find a home for my dog, Blue, all my money goes to Zoe "Do Over" Mulligan, the same girl as up above. And all my screenplays go to Roberto Fuertes down in Atlanta. And my murder mysteries go to Ann Althouse. She's a law professor and runs this blog called Althouse. It's pretty cool. That's it. That's my will. Until I change it.

I wonder what Isaac Newton's IQ was? He certainly believed in Satan. So did most of the world's brightest minds before about a hundred years ago.

The one that freaks me out is the anagram, Santa.

I'm a little hostile to Santa these days (that lie we tell children while we adults celebrate the birth of Christ). But the kids are so happy I say nothing. When I was in first grade I led the investigation into whether Santa was real or not real. Which consisted of asking other kids if they believed in Santa. We didn't solve that mystery.

Years later, I snuck downstairs around 6:00 a.m. and opened all my presents by myself. I just wanted to see what I got! Basic greed. My mom was so mad.

Satan means "opposition." When Jesus was fasting for 40 days to start his ministry, he finally got an answer to his prayers. He was hearing voices in his head. And you have to use your brain to discern that the little voice you are hearing is not an angel, but a demon.

Christians often refer to this voice as anti-Christ. While some say there is only one anti-Christ, I think it's helpful when talking to people to see what they think of Jesus. Are you pro-Christ or anti-Christ? And their answer to that question lets us know if they are on the right road or the wrong road. Are they going up or going down?

Nvidia’s independent investigators need to establish whether the company had any involvement in the illegal diversion of its chips to China before the federal investigation reaches its conclusions.

If it did, there are some very serious questions to answer about the company’s internal controls, compliance procedures and management oversight. The CFO will have some explaining to do, too. And I suspect Jensen Huang’s lawyers won’t be particularly keen on having him answer questions from Congress.

Meanwhile -- Trump’s DOJ is already claiming she wasn't a spy. 🤣

Huang is a co-founder of nVidia. I've been following this company for 25 years. It started off as memory flash cards (I think) for video games. Huang is very smart and positioned the company into the AI race early.

Their main competitor is Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) up 5% today. Its market cap is $900 billion, so hardly a tiny company. Right now the AI stocks kind of trade in unison. AI is taking over so many industries that the stock market is having a rough time valuing these stocks. My family does not own any nVidia, but we own a bunch of other AI stocks, including Astera Labs (ALAB), Nebius Group (NBIS) SpaceX (SPCX), Micron (MU). Other stocks like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon are the customers. As long as these massive tech stocks are still building out AI, the AI stocks will ultimately go a lot higher. nVidia is the most prominent AI stock, but it's hardly the only one. Losing the visionary who has taken the company this far hurts. Consider too that customers might worry about security issues with China and thus want to build out using different chips (i.e. AMD chips) who have not been compromised by China.

I'm pretty negative on AI because it is destroying the market for artists. I think a lot more people dislike AI than love AI. People on the internet might like AI.

I feel like I've been too exciting lately, and I should work on boring people. See how that goes. You know if you're boring, Althouse has to vote for you. She loves boring. Or so I've been told. Maybe it's boring politicians? But who is not a politician, on the Althouse blog?

Saint Croix म्हणाले...

I swear, I used to think I could overturn Roe v. Wade, if I just put up all my pro-life stuff on the Althouse blog. Obviously, Althouse was a pro-choice feminist. But she was sweet. And a natural teacher. She kept throwing up this abortion red meat. And I kept smacking it down. That was amazing. It was like she was Magic Johnson and I was James Worthy. And she would throw up some pro-choice alley oop easy pass, and I would grab it and smack it through the hoop with a pro-life thunder dunk. What a team. (I don't know why I'm using Lakers, I hate the Lakers). Maybe beach volleyball is the better analogy?

Anyway, a few years ago, Roe v. Wade was overruled. Maybe you heard about it? And now Althouse is like, "That's it, I'm out, no more abortion posts every other day." And I was like, "Shit! I guess I'm retired, too."

Saint Croix म्हणाले...

My third dog, Vanna, was a feminist dog. She hated men, I swear to God. My theory was that some man was mean to her. And maybe he had a man smell like me? Anyway, she did not care for me. I'd come home from work and she would look up and not even wag her tail. And then I'd walk her out on the street, and she would see some girl, and her whole body would shake with happiness. She'd wag and wag and wag. She loved women so much. I was like, "Great. All I do is feed you every day." It was like that for six months. I was like, "We need counseling, couples counseling. I don't think they have that for dogs and people. Not in the South, anyway."

I didn't blame Vanna. She was separated from her mom at one week. That was kind of psycho. The vets at the shelter had to bottle feed her from a milk bottle. And they were all women. Maybe that's why my dog loved women? Meanwhile I'm writing my abortion book and pacing back and forth, really mad about infanticide, scaring the fuck out of my dog. Our first six months was rough.

That's when we discovered fetch.

Vanna loved fetch. She was a fetch superstar. I would throw the ball and she ran and got it and brought it right back. I was like, "holy shit." It took me a couple of minutes to get her to drop the ball. And then she was automatically fetching and dropping the ball. She loved fetch. At the dog park, the other dogs would play with dogs. Vanna would pick up a tennis ball. Then she'd pick up another one. She had two tennis balls in her mouth. I asked my vet, "Can a dog swallow a tennis ball?" My vet was like, "Hell yes they can swallow a tennis ball. And I got to open up their stomach and take it out." I figured one tennis ball was fine. But two tennis balls would freak me out. Finally when we went to the dog park, I would throw all the damn tennis balls out of the park except for one.

We used to play baseball. She was Ozzy Smith. I'd be like, "Pop fly, Vanna." And I would throw the ball up in the air. And she would catch it. "Line drive, Vanna." I'd throw it and she would knock it down and bring it back to me. She was Olympic Athlete and I was Coarch and that was our relationship.

She tore her ACL (or the dog's version of an ACL, apparently dogs do not have an actual ACL) and I didn't even notice. She just walked that shit off. Years later, she tore the ACL in her other leg. I noticed this one because she held her leg off the ground. So I took her to the vet and that's when I heard that she had torn ACLs in both her two back legs. An old injury and a new one. And there were three surgeries we could do, the cheap one, the not-so-cheap one, and the expensive one. And I loved my dog, so I was like, "let's spend the money." She died a couple of years ago.

Did anyone see a picture of Alice Huang, the Chinese spy? SMOKIN' HOT!!! And probably really smart to grab Jensen's attention. He's got enough money to have anyone he wants

1) I have slept with hotter girls for free
2) Money is useless against prime pussy power
3) If a woman decides to wreck your life, oh fuck
4) Happy wife, happy life

St Croix
It stands to reason that in these times a reasonable person might want to try out pouring out unshaped emotion/reason combinations. There's a lot of that going around. However, just so you know, I began skipping everything you had to say before I was half way down this comment section.

That’s cool Wildswan. I read a lot of your stuff. Can’t read everything. Jesus has a parable of planting seeds. You throw the seeds all over the place. Some take root. Some don’t.

Saint Croix म्हणाले...

AI tells you what you want to hear. I do that too sometimes. But I also say what I need to say.

Saint Croix म्हणाले...

Sometimes a man’s got to do what a man’s got to do. And sometimes I got to climb up on that soapbox.

Almost nobody.
