my code is so bad it counts as counterintelligence.
The Jensen Huang story keeps getting crazier.
US intelligence reportedly discovered that Nvidia’s CEO was romantically involved with a suspected Chinese spy.
Here's where things get insane:
1.) The woman, Alice Huang, was an executive at Megaspeed, a company under investigation for allegedly helping Chinese firms circumvent US chip export restrictions.
2.) US intelligence believes she was recruited by China's Ministry of State Security, its primary intelligence agency.
3.) Intelligence officials reportedly suspected her objective included gathering information about Huang and potentially influencing Nvidia to push for looser US chip export controls.
4.) Huang has spent the past year repeatedly lobbying Washington to loosen those exact restrictions.
5.) US officials reportedly prepared an intelligence memo detailing the relationship and circulated it among senior government officials shortly before Trump's summit with Xi Jinping.
6.) Trump had reportedly already been briefed on the suspected espionage operation and chose not to act on the information.
7.) Huang has met with Trump repeatedly, reportedly even accompanying him aboard the presidential aircraft on a trip to China.
8.) Megaspeed's Malaysian affiliate reportedly purchased at least $4.8 BILLION in equipment containing Nvidia chips between June 2024 and February 2026.
9.) Federal authorities have been investigating Megaspeed since 2024, with the Justice Department reportedly taking over the Commerce Department's investigation this year.
10.) Investigators reportedly found Nvidia equipment in boxes that appeared ready for shipment rather than installed in operational data centers.
11.) Alice Huang's name was reportedly removed from Megaspeed's corporate documents as scrutiny intensified. Her continuing involvement with the company remains unclear.
12.) Nvidia maintains that it investigated Megaspeed's chip deployments and found no evidence of illegal diversion.
13.) Three congressional committee chairmen are now demanding that Huang appear for a closed-door briefing on November 18.
We're talking about the CEO of the world's most valuable company, a suspected Chinese intelligence operation, billions of dollars in advanced AI chips, and the US government's efforts to control China's access to the technology.
There is still no public evidence that Huang knowingly cooperated with Chinese intelligence or that the alleged operation successfully influenced US policy.
But the questions surrounding this are extraordinary.

I’m going to remix every song ever created
Spotify just announced a feature that could either save the music industry or destroy it.
Starting as early as Q1 2027, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to use AI to transform any participating artist’s song into a completely different version. Turn a folk ballad into a dance track. Make a hip-hop song sound acoustic. Generate a cover where one artist’s voice performs another artist’s song. Remix a pop hit into lo-fi study music. Create the version of your favorite song that only existed in your head until now.
The remixes will be uploaded directly to Spotify. They’ll appear in playlists. They’ll count toward the original song’s chart position. And most importantly the original artist will earn royalties every time someone listens to a fan-created remix of their work.
Spotify has already signed a landmark licensing deal with Universal Music Group the world’s largest record label. Negotiations with Sony Music and Warner Music are ongoing. The feature will cost an additional $4–$5/month on top of Spotify Premium. And analysts project 7–8% of American subscribers will adopt it by 2028.
This is not Suno or Udio generating music from text prompts. This is fans remixing real songs by real artists with the artists’ permission, on the world’s largest streaming platform, with royalties flowing back to the creators.
A music industry analyst who’s covered streaming economics for 15 years told her team something after reading the licensing agreement that reframed how she understood the future of recorded music.
“Spotify just turned 640 million listeners into 640 million potential remixers. The question isn’t whether people will use it they will. The question is whether paying artists for fan remixes solves the economics of streaming or creates a world where the original recording is worth less than the infinite remixes generated from it.”
Here’s what Spotify’s AI remix feature actually is, who wins, who loses, and why this might be the most consequential decision in the music industry since the launch of streaming itself 🧵

The AI layoff gamble is backfiring.
Companies that rushed to replace workers with AI are now cleaning up the mess, per The Guardian.
Meta scaled back plans to cut staff and use more AI agents after employees spent growing time cleaning up the agents’ technical and security errors. It’s now rehiring managers.
Microsoft and McKinsey are limiting employee AI use as costs pile up.
Walmart workers say AI scheduling and task tools set impossible standards and generate false alerts.
The payoff isn’t showing up: 90% of executives say AI hasn’t yet boosted productivity at their companies, per an Atlanta Fed working paper.
Yet more than 112,000 US job cuts this year have cited AI, per Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

we have a winner for the most absurd AI startup ever
this Peter Thiel backed company uses AI robots to stab fish in the brain so they taste better and last up to 3x longer
it's called Shinkei and it modernizes a centuries-old Japanese technique
dozens of Michelin-star restaurants are already lining up to buy the fish
here's how it works:
> the problem is when a fish gets caught, it usually just suffocates on the boat
> that stress floods the meat with hormones and lactic acid, which hurts the flavor and texture
> the old Japanese fix for this was spiking the fish through the brain right after the catch, which stops all that
> but doing it by hand is impractical for most American fishing crews
> so Shinkei built a fridge-sized robot that sits right on the boat's deck
> the crew feeds in a fish and AI identifies the exact species, so it knows exactly where the brain and gills are
> the robot then drives the spike through the brain and cuts near the gills in about 7 seconds
> the fish goes into an ice slurry so the blood drains out
> so the fish doesn't sit there stressing out, and that tasty flavor and texture is preserved
example number 5,392,417 of how AI can be applied to literally anything
ALT A gloved fisherman on a boat feeds a live salmon head-first into the steel intake of a white Shinkei Systems robot, with the ocean behind.
