Jensen Huang's Nvidia empire just fell to a classic honey trap

Original version ·

Turns out the smartest guy in AI wasn't smart enough to avoid a literal spy movie cliché.

So, the absolute king of the AI boom just nuked his own career over a fling. Jensen Huang, the face of Nvidia, stepped down after admitting he got caught up with a woman identified by intelligence agencies as a Chinese spy.

It’s a classic honey trap, the kind of thing you’d think a billionaire tech CEO would be too paranoid to fall for. Instead of focusing on GPU dominance, he was apparently sharing way more than just corporate strategy with an asset.

It takes a special kind of ego to run the most valuable company in the world and then hand over the keys because of a bedroom-level security breach.
