At *least* two affairs?!

11/12/2026 2:53:36 PM

I think qntmfred is kinda beating around the bush on what he wants to say, so i'll just say my take on it (either that or thegoodlife3 is not sharp enough to pick up the point)

Jensen is taking the fall so NVIDIA can get nationalized. Trump (honestly, the US Govt) tried it with Intel, but Intel isn't a consequential company anymore

This isn't about Jensen's personal life, about getting compromised, or sleeping with a subordinate. None of that shit matters at all. It just opened a door to take Jensen off the board, and that opportunity may actually have been manufactured in and of itself

this is statecraft and is about the US Govt machine nationalizing NVIDIA as a resource in the AI race against China

This is also the full power of the propaganda machine being brought to bear on one individual in order to manufacture consent for the end result


Jensen is just one of billions of dudes in history who stepped out on their marriage in a moment of opportunity and weakness. Doesn't make him any less human than those other folks, doesn't make him not a piece of shit to his wife, doesn't make a lick of difference to any of the rest of us


This is kinda why some cultures used to entrust state secrets to eunuchs in the past

Why didn't he just say that?

But I thought Republicans were going to end all the isms?

Fascism, socialism, communism. What you describe would be one or more of those, so it certainly can't be true.

Three affairs
ah ha ha

11/12/2026 3:36:46 PM

Now do Trump!

11/12/2026 3:38:49 PM

If the government wanted Nvidia, sitting on a known security risk for a year would be a strange way to get it. Methinks the more likely explanation is simpler: someone powerful decided to look the other way (Trump), and a billionaire assumed the rules didn't apply to him.

11/12/2026 3:44:16 PM

I wish nvidia would come out with another shield product but i guess its not profitable for them

11/12/2026 3:50:35 PM

^^ it can be both. There are other forces within the government that are longer-lasting than Trump.


Not to be all "DEEP STATE QUBEANON" about it.


also, I'll point out that the govt couldn't take a public stake in NVDA like they did with Intel without the stock tanking. They couldn't do that production act thing either, without it tanking. So what's the best way to get what they want without getting their hands dirty? Make it seem like it's Jensen's fault. That's why they'd sit on the affair info for so long. People have been talking about it since early this year, whenever it was that he signed her boobs.

The other conspiracy theory is since Jensen was the largest proponent of opensource AI models that the AI companies publicized this and got him out.

11/12/2026 4:04:27 PM

I'm a go with Occam's razor on this one, but it'll be interesting to see what happens.

11/12/2026 4:06:01 PM

^^ I think that factors in, for sure. i saw someone mention that Anthropic was able to port CUDA to AMD hardware? didn't dig into it, but honestly porting shit to run elsewhere is one thing that erodes NVIDIA's grip right away. Fable 5.2 has been writing machine-level code that's on par with things that took years to build with frameworks. It's not outside the realm of possibility for me to think it's all intertwined.

the most direct formulation of what I want to say is

Quote :

"I'm saying it's an obvious political hitjob blackmail is corrosive to society. this is my primary concern."

Quote :

"this is statecraft and is about the US Govt machine nationalizing NVIDIA as a resource in the AI race against China This is also the full power of the propaganda machine being brought to bear on one individual in order to manufacture consent for the end result"

this is also a fair representation of my essential viewpoint. although rather than nationalizing in the more literal sense, the government wants to use its regulatory authority (with threat of personal blackmail to any individuals like Jensen who may stand in their way). it's more about power than stealing a financial stake in the company.

I don't know if it's the Trump Admin pulling these punches (they're certainly not strangers to bullying corporations), Dem leadership preparing to take power (they're certainly not strangers to bullying corporations), Anthropic trying to protect their market in the midst of their IPO, Chinese sabotage, or what. Could be a little of each. But the media got these stories from someone(s) with a certain agenda, and that's what I want to know. time will tell, I suspect.

like i've said, i don't care about his dick. i do care about the trajectory of the most important technology of this era, government power, the integrity of the media, and most importantly of all uwu the ability of my thewolfweb.com friends to not get mindfucked by those who are better at pulling the levers of the human psyche than they are.

we're on the same page


I think it's fair enough to say that while none of us can pin down exactly what the exact distribution of forces are behind this, the shit stinks

To be fair, he was banging some non-spies as well

11/12/2026 9:54:11 PM

Look, I didnt care when he fucked that spy. I get it. I would fall for it, too, probably. Tough to resist a motivated professional manipulator set on making a person feel important.

But what I cant excuse is the affair with his subordinate. That's off limits. Only bang your peers
