    It wasn’t about trade secrets, together they were shipping AI data center components into China via her company (Megaspeed) which was funded by AliBaba.

    I really need to become a CEO of something, I’m not getting anywhere near enough attention from Chinese and Russian hotties.

    I never understand how the most powerful people in the world fall for stuff like this, like I’m not saying Alice is not cute, but like, if I had the money Jensen had I’d pay for 3-4 porn stars and id dress them up with cosplay and do all 4 at the same time or something like that, like with that kind of cash I could probably do like 10 at the same time even, with that kind of money you have access to way better stuff.

      Since we are getting serious, she is way more talented than whatever team of pornstars if she is actually a spy. Of course the Chinese government provided her of the connections and contracts to let her into the big tech pharaohs circle, but her job as a spy should have had involved a crazy dedication to this man. Yeah, we all laugh now that is public information, and we mostly hate billionaires if we are sane people, but Jensen surely did contemplate this possibility and still fell. I do wonder what is in his subconscious and how she pushed the right buttons. While I do like to think these CEOs are just stupid assholes, other explanations amyuse me as much.

        You should not forget that, what she likely wanted (facilitate the transfer of a lot of highend Nvidia GPUs to China) was generally in Jensen’s interest, especially if she could arrange that in the shadows. The only problem for him was getting caught, or rather her being identified.

      She was also a legitimate tech executive. The honeypot worked because it was very plausible that she liked him for him. She traveled in his circles, spoke his language, understood his world, and was probably very well informed on every little thing he liked.

      This, I think, may have been the worst kind of honeypot, because I think she might have snared him with an actual relationship and feelings.

      So, outside the extramarital affair itself, it looks like the main concern for wrongdoing was he vouched for her company, “Megaspeed”, who bought ~5 Billion in Nvidia chips, over the last two years, and likely smuggled some amount of them into China, circumventing trade laws.

      The smuggling is still just allegations, but Megaspeed has been under investigation for some time, for smuggling the hardware.

      I don’t think any trade secrets per se, have been stolen or given, just favorable treatment for sales.

      I think you’re confusing sex with intimacy. It’s obviously different if you’re not paying for it (well, if you think you’re not paying for it lol)

      Hmm… I guess it’s also nice to know that someone actually finds you attractive. When you pay for pornstas you’d always feel like they are only doing it for the money. On the other hand I don’t know if rich and famous people ever get that feeling that someone genuinely likes them as a person.

        You don’t need a million dollars for that, funnily enough even tho I’ve done call girls I’ve never did two at the same time, I think It’s something I gotta earn for myself you know? hshshs, I’ll save it for a special occasion. Gotta do transgirls or femboys tho, I’m ideologically opposed to giving a cis girl money (wicked take i know, let a guy have his values haha)

    She probably plugged a tiny little custom built device into his phones and laptops and backdoored them all. If she was talking it was probably to put stupid ideas in his head.
