Turns out the best way to crack the modern Super Intelligence code is simply to use the old-fashioned sex trap to access the much-coveted secrets?
When it comes to lust, human intelligence is not superior to the artificial kind!
If they make a movie instead of it being called “The Spy Who Loved Me,” the whole Jensen Huang being out as Nvidia CEO mess may be called “The Spy Who Ruined Me.”
Perhaps, even the future of AI in general? And even potentially the gaming industry.
Of course, there are even bigger questions in this dramedy. Who is going to pay the femme fatale in the next espionage flick about yet another brilliant, rich and powerful man being brought down by a sexy operative?
There are some things money can’t buy and some scandals money can’t get you out of, like the one the 63-year-old Jensen Huang is learning that today. In the end, no matter his wealth, it was the spy who got him.
And on Thursday, it was announced that the man worth $150 billion is out as Nvidia’s CEO . On Thursday morning, the Nvidia stock was trading at $163.27, which is down $10.46 or 6.02% from where it was on Wednesday.
The stunning development and fall from grace came just days after revelations that the famous, married-to-his-college-sweetheart businessman was involved in extramarital affairs with several women he worked with inside the company, including a potential Chinese spy .
A honey trap is the oldest trick there is
As Brad Hunter called it in a column this week – a classic Honey Trap.
Jensen Huang appears to have been bagged, hook, line and sinker. Canada has also experienced Chinese spy infiltration into its elected parliamentarian class and there have been allegations of females getting too close to MPs as well.
It seems to work.
“Take one sexpot, one gullible politician or compromised CEO, seduce them and then pilfer company or government secrets. After that, said secrets are passed on to foreign governments,” wrote Hunter. “The honey trap is one of the oldest intelligence tricks in the book.”
And what Huang has been developing needs to be called Super Intelligence. But there is often no intelligence when it comes to decisions involving sex, money and power.
As the world looks to see how this will affect its stock price, Nvidia announced, “Colette Kress, current Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of NVIDIA, has agreed to serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer,” and that the “board is initiating a search for a permanent CEO and will consider internal and external candidates.”
While billionaire Kress is an amazing story all on her own, the focus is obviously more on another woman in this sordid mess. Her name is Alice Huang and, despite having the same surname, is not a familial relation to the legendary leader of the AI and computer chip world.
But her relations with Jensen Huang have been the subject of much gossip and finger-pointing.
Who is Chinese national Alice Huang?
As Toronto Sun ’s Brian Towie reported this week , the FBI has been investigating who she actually is and trying to learn more about their relationship.
“Nvidia commissioned an independent investigation into the affair involving suspected Chinese spy Alice Huang, who, according to a U.S. report, was allegedly recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security (MSS) to get classified company information. Nvidia’s report said the company had no reason to believe its secrets or national security were compromised,” wrote Towie.
China has signalled to the media that they were not involved in any honeytrap operation.
Trump and Musk back their friend
Who to believe?
U.S. President Donald J. Trump believes his friend.
“I asked him that question, ‘Did you have any idea she was a spy?’ Trump told reporters. “‘I had no idea she was a spy,’ and I really believe him.”
But the Nvidia board was not as trusting or forgiving. That said, the world’s richest human, Elon Musk, said he would still love to hire Jensen for his Super Intelligence businesses.
Still, this blockbuster resignation will be heard around the world. And many questions will be asked: What information did this spy give to her handlers?
And what risk could that put America, Canada and the computer chip and Super Intelligence world in?
Maybe the movie will be called “The Spy Who Gave Too Much”?
