    “Had an affair with an alleged Chinese spy” is how everyone’s covering this but even that framing is kind of the limited hangout cover story. Makes it sound like she was leaking trade secrets to the Chinese governent and that’s the scandal.

    What he had was an improper business relationship with essentially a white-collar smuggler. He was going around export sanctions through shady shell companies in Singapore and she was helping him do it. To the extent of maybe 1/5 of the chips NVidia was selling being diverted to the Chinese black market.

    It hardly matters that he was cheating on his wife with her too, or whether she was an actual CCP intelligence asset. At least, not to Jensen because neither of those things would lead to prison time.

      “Chipmaker sells chips” is less salacious than cheating. It’s what sticks out in people’s minds.

      And… its not like these things are actually key to anyone’s ‘national security’, despite what lawmakers and the advertising departments of hyperscalers say. You get an edge in how quickly you can iterate software. Big whoop. This has less strategic impact than a fan forum for War Thunder.

    “He said, ‘I had no idea that she was a spy,’ and I really believe him.”

    You’d be a really shitty honeypot spy if you let your target know you were a spy. What a moron.

    I feel I’m being disrespectful to morons.

    Folks, the best of us cheat on our wives with spies. When I cheated on my wife Marples with Melarnia, I said, you’re so beutiful, I don’t care that you’re sponsored by the FSB. That’s what they called Yugoslavia back then.

    But consider: you can’t cheat on your wife with a foreign spy if your wife is the foreign spy

    I mean, what Jensen did is awful.

    But I’m sick of Futurism’s clickbait/ragebait headlines. I came to Lemmy to escape that.

    Is there any way to block posts by URL, or do I have to switch to Piefed for that?

      Are you on the Technology sub? There’s one guy who posts Futurism a lot and you can recognize them by the accompanying slop comment first on every post. Block them and you’ll cut down on Futurism.

      Since the sub was all sucking that person’s cock, I decided to leave the forum instead.
