I would prefer that these people’s sex lives were none of my business but I guess we have to talk about Jensen Huang and the National Security Incident. Who could have guessed that the guy who was out here signing titties might not have great judgment about how to behave around women?
Alice Huang — no relation to Jensen — is a former TV reporter. That was before she became “an executive” at Megaspeed, which bought $4.8 billion of hard-to-get Nvidia chips, starting around the time she was being photographed with Jensen in a Taipei bar in 2024. “To many in the industry, the well-funded push by Megaspeed into A.I. appeared to come out of nowhere,” The New York Times wrote, tactfully. Our girl Alice is also an alleged honeypot who was recruited by the Chinese Ministry of State Security. (China is denying all this, btw.)
You know shit is going good when your corporate spokesperson has to tell the Times that of course your company does not disclose classified information to your customers
What is Megaspeed? Well. The company has ties to the Chinese military and builds data centers in “Southeast Asia” (it has offices in Singapore and Indonesia) to sell compute to Alibaba. The chips it is using to do that are banned from being imported to China. Incidentally, Nvidia has been lobbying very intensely to get rid of import controls on its chips so it can sell them in China.
This is all public knowledge in part because Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly “oversaw” a memo detailing Alice’s recruitment and relationship with Jensen, and then someone leaked it. (Powerful memo game, Marco, getting credit for one you didn’t even write!) Rubio passed his little note around in May, ahead of a trip to China taken by President Donald Trump. Jensen initially didn’t make the list of invitees on the trip — at least, not until Trump saw media coverage of the perceived snub. Trump and Jensen? They’re close. Which makes it even more interesting that Trump was personally briefed on the findings and did nothing, according to the Times.
