This clip perfectly captures the vibe outside NVIDIA’s headquarters in Santa Clara, California, after Jensen Huang’s resignation.

Bombshell story. The spy narrative is collapsing already. Is there clear & convincing evidence that Alice Huang was a Chinese spy? - AG says no. (“no conclusions reached”). - CIA says no. (“not yet convinced”). - DNI says no (“not entirely accurate and over-torqued”). - Ranking Democrat on House Intelligence (incoming Chairman) says no. (“today, at least, I don’t know”). This was immediately after he was briefed. Who argues otherwise? Anonymous officials tell CNN “it strains credulity to believe that she was not acting as an agent of the Chinese government — simply by virtue of the fact that she is a successful Chinese businesswoman working with one of America’s most powerful companies.” This is their proof after a year of investigating and surveillance? That she was a “successful Chinese businesswoman”? At this point, the only crime that we know for sure happened is the leaking of the classified memo. Who did that and why? An investigation should be opened.
News: The US intel community is still working to understand the relationship between a Chinese businesswoman who had an affair with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and the Chinese government, with multiple sources telling CNN that the intelligence collected on her to date does not prove that she was acting as a spy for Beijing. cnn.com/2026/11/12/politics/…

NVIDIA letting Jensen go is a huge mistake, for America and for humanity. It's Apple firing Steve Jobs all over again, but much bigger, given the role of AI in defining the future of our world. I've been keeping quiet on this out of respect for Jensen's family and team, who I've met and who are amazing humans, and because I personally hate infidelity. So my heart goes out to them in this difficult personal family moment. But I can also say that Jensen is human, and makes mistakes like all of us do. Not that I matter at all, but I've known Jensen for a long time and have gotten the chance to spend a lot of time with him, behind the scenes, away from mics and cameras. I have seen him show kindness, humility, care to everyone around him, including strangers, including from the poorest most struggling parts of society, treating all the same with the same thoughtfulness and attention, because they are fellow humans and not because he has something to gain from them. That shows rare character, to maintain humility and humanity through all of it. Another data point is what people who know him well have said privately to me about Jensen over the years. I've never had anyone tell me anything but how awesome he is or how much they love him. Probably over a thousand people at this point. This includes hundreds of engineers, CEOs, colleagues, friends, etc. Also, since there was some spy talk. Jensen is as proud an American as it gets. I'm in shock frankly at all of this, including the mass hysteria around it. I love America, and I think NVIDIA letting Jensen go is terrible for America. I stand with Jensen. Love you all ❤️

Datacenters are a globally competitive market. Someone, somewhere, will build them.
Replying to @SemiAnalysis_
A 100MW datacenter in China now costs under $300M to build, excluding IT equipment, about a fifth of the US cost. China's build cost has fallen about 25% since 2021. (4/6)

This is not an ad for @Meta. Facebook didn’t pay me to share this. But I’m sharing it anyway, because I think it matters. If you agree, pass it on.

My AI agents found an unmapped Maya site in Mexico, using LiDAR data from a NASA dataset. 72 hours from a random thought on vacation to a reply from Mexico's national archaeology institute. What a time to be alive…

Trump suggesting to work with the Democrats to deliver an amnesty deal for a large number of illegal migrants. He called his deportation policy 'too tough', and that only those on the 'far right' want all illegals gone. Awful policy, terrible language, another mistake. Every illegal migrant must go. It's mass deportations, or an effective mass amnesty - that's the choice. I know where I'm going... Trump made an appalling judgement in starting a pointless war that has cost American and British families, and now is backtracking on deportation policies. Iran cost him everything, not the deportations. It is important we firmly make this point, or removing millions of illegal migrants from our own country will become far more difficult.

The finale of the brilliant historical sitcom Blackadder left many of us in tears. It remains just as powerful today, and so it should. Lest we forget.

OpenAI posted a chart for the internal model that solved Navier–Stokes (the model I call GPT-Aeon) with the NS announcement. There were no diminishing returns on test-time compute, it was still going up. I will quote from the blog: 'Since August 28 we have been training a new internal model that has exhibited unprecedented performance in our benchmarks, including mathematics. This model’s training is ongoing and its performance continues to improve.' That was two months ago.
frontier models, with lots of test time compute, are becoming the engine of scientific discovery

I know everybody already knows this, but if the GOP loses Texas, it will no longer be mathematically possible for a Republican to win the presidency.
