News/Article I owe my family and all of you an apology
https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/a-message-to-our-companyI owe my family and all of you an apology.
I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.
Throughout my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and loyalty. Instead, I let them down and damaged the life we built together. I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it.
To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I have done. I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust.
To my colleagues at NVIDIA, including those I have worked alongside for decades, and to our board, partners, and shareholders around the world: you deserve better from me. Leading NVIDIA is the privilege of my life. My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I have fallen short of that responsibility. I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence.
Regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, NVIDIA’s Board of Directors has initiated an independent investigation. I support the investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America’s national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American.
My family bears no responsibility for my choices. I do. Please give them privacy.
Jensen

This is some bad stuff.
Apparently, U.S. intelligence already started monitoring Alice Huang and her company Megaspeed since late 2024 for providing information (and likely chips) to Beijing. But they didn't tell our boy Jensen so Alice wouldn't know her communication devices were being tapped. It seems like he wasn't aware of her being a spy until relatively recently and came to inform the board.

It is... and the implications should be severe.
He wouldn't have needed to leak anything deliberately. All he had to do was lose sight of her for a couple of minutes. She could've cloned his phone, set up cameras or mics, plugged a USB drive into his laptop for a few seconds, or something along those lines... She wouldn't even need to be tech-savvy; she'd just have to follow her handler's instructions.
Considering this guy probably has direct access to the POTUS, it is a big deal, as you say. Come to think of it, I find it interesting that she probably had the CIA all over her, and if that's the case, I bet Trump knew about it...
Then again, sure, billionaires don't go to prison, and they have no shame, so he probably won't resign anytime soon. But you can't be in bed with the US government and a Chinese spy at the same time, at least in theory...
Pretty interesting turn of events. I'd say there's a lot more to it than meets the eye, considering the chip-smuggling operations and all...

I actually love that they published this. I find it really refreshing that a CEO and a company isn't just burying their hands in the sand waiting for it to pass over. Sure the apology has been massaged by a PR team to be most effective, and I don't give a fuck what it actually says.
Acknowledging that he did something bad and that he isn't lying about it is a nice change of pace as opposed to saying shit like "Don't believe your eyes."

I'm not an expert on corporate PR but I've worked in a few companies and saw a few affairs. Publishing such open letter on company website means it was no regular affair but something way heavier that he wants to keep as quiet as possible - so now I'm leaning towards the theory that the woman he had affair with was indeed Chinese spy.

It looks shameful to cheat; he’s apologizing to try to patch his image. To save face.
But it is clear that Jensen feels no shame for completely fucking consumers over via Nvidia’s actions in the AI space.

Imo it's partly because a lot of them weren't cool enough or attractive enough to receive a lot of overt attention from women when they were younger, so now that they're older and richer they have no real defences against a determined, attractive woman.
Also because to be someone that rich, you generally have to have flexible morals to begin with.

I wouldn't say so.
The 50th generation was released for the first time in many years with a six-month delay.
The 60th generation has been delayed until the end of 2027 at best, or until 2028 at worst. Although according to the schedule for the last 20 years we should already have the 60th generation, and in 2028 the 70th.
But he gave priority to data centers and they get a new generation every 12-18 months, and now we get it every 30-36.
He must return to us the 2-year cycle of releasing new generation of video cards with actual prices and availability. And after that, he can give everyone 6090, because 5090 is the worst piece of silicon I have ever used in my entire life. Why give us such a poor gift? Let him give away a good video card without driver problems and without a melting connector..

He rightly sees Huawei as a future threat to NVIDIA so doesn't seem outlandish for him to want to establish a monopoly in the Chinese market as well to stamp that out. And that arguably serves US interests, too. At this point, this could very well be yet another CEO shitty husband with a mistress.
And it seems just as likely for this to be a plot to replace him with someone more amenable to Silicon Valley interests as it is Chinese espionage. Either way, it's becoming an interesting story.

I owe you all an apology, I was unfaithful to my gamers. I had a cheeky sneaky gangbang with the tech bros behind a datacenter.
What I did hurt our LoL and WoW forever players. Basically all the AAA players felt let down. Fortunately the emulator and retro crowd was surprisingly meh about it.
To my gamers, I love you. I know what I did was wrong. I cannot undo what I have done. I can only wear my ugly leather jacket on stage once more while releasing to 7099 RTZ with 3000% of the performance of the 5090 RTX* at the low low price of only 59,000 USD. I hope that over time this can earn back your trust.
To my colleagues at NVIDIA: "work harder, make no mistakes".
