XI’S GOTTA HAVE IT! The Great AI Con: The Nvidia Sex Scandal Isn’t a Sex Scandal — It’s a Chinese Psyop.
84% of Chinese people say they’re excited about AI. In America, it’s now just 38%.
This has all the telltale signs of not just a Chinese psyop, but a dedicated, multiyear plan to defeat America in the AI race.
Look at what’s happened in the past two years:
- AI and data centers have been thoroughly (and, possibly, permanently) demonized in America. Especially after the midterms, very few politicians will approve new large-scale data centers.
- The U.S. AI industry is currently being destabilized. “Someone” is spreading unsubstantiated rumors (and/or leaking classified information) about the private lives of top U.S. tech CEOs.
- The “vast Chinese spying machine” continues to Hoover up our tech secrets.
- The media keeps pushing anti-AI propaganda into the political discourse, even though it’s a 1% issue.
- The Democrats in Congress are prioritizing AI slowdowns, guardrails, moratoriums, hearings, and regulations. (Reuters calls it a “flood of AI bills.”)
Everything China wanted is coming true!
The Jensen Huang/sexy Chinese spy story was fun. Call it a honeypot, a honeytrap, or anything you want.
But I seriously doubt that story is the real story. Too many coincidences. Too many pro-Chinese, anti-American outcomes in a row. Including outcomes FAR better than what you’d get from a one-off honeypot operation and ChiCom shell companies.
Sorry, but this isn’t a story about honeypots or sexy spies. It’s way bigger than that.
Given how the CCP intertwines itself with Chinese corporations, I’m not sure if I’d fully discard the honeypot aspect of the story just yet:
