Here's my theory, the whole Chinese spy thing is a diversion and never the point, the goal was never to steal Nvidia secrets (Nvidia is already doing backdoor deals with China, Gamers Nexus dug into this a year ago). The goal was actually to comprise Jensen with an affair so someone could oust him from the company. Why is a question to still be asked.

for those who don't know what is actually happening.
jensen huang has opposite viewpoints of the directions of ai than the majority of ai frontier labs in the us.
frontier labs don't want open source models to compete with them and the us doesn't want to lose the ai race to china.
jensen still wants the us to win the ai race ofcourse, but he is not anti competition either.
he has made it very clear over the years he doesn't care where his customers are from, as long as they can effort his compute.
the last decade all kinds of export controls on gpu's have been set by the us government in the hopes to slow down china's economic growth together with the need for nvidia to create a seperate class of gpu's specifically made for the chinese market.
frontier labs like anthropic have tried very hard to gate keep open source models from progressing to were they are today. Jensen doubled down on his stance back in july with the " open weights and american ai leadership " letter.
the only way to slow down that growth is to nationalise nvidia or to get him out of his leadership position, so they can have majority share/ influence over the board and nvidia's future directions.
jensen is in the way of this plan, not only because of his believes of what the future of ai should be, but jensen also has been the ceo and founder of nvidia for over 33 years. he is also the largest individual share holder in the company with 3.6% / 3.8% in shares.
nvidia and the majority of the ai /tech industry, is what is it today because of him and everyone in tech knows that.
getting him out of his position will be incredibly hard. even if they happen to be for valid reasons such as his recent affairs.
if they were to succeed in replacing him. whoever is coming in next as a ceo is compared to jensen's influence on nvidia and the direction of ai, a puppet with very low control over the company's actual direction.

Lovable is a scam.
So is Replit, Base44, Framer, and all AI website builders.
These are for low IQ people who don’t know how to use AI and fall for SaaS marketing gimmicks.
You are paying a premium for less usage, shittier models, shittier websites, and hand cuffing yourself to a SaaS ecosystem you don’t control.
A $100/month Claude Max plan (or ChatGPT Pro) is a better solution BY FAR
When the general youtube comment section just hates zuck and AI.
I actually can’t wait for all us gen z and millennials who embrace these new technologies to replace and output 10x the work these boomers do. They have been to comfortable getting paid and hate AI because it knows it replaces them. Adapt or get replaced.

Honestly what a time. And it's crazy to me that reselling is still profitable to this day... Still remember the days when we were using open source PHP scripts to generate Adidas ATC links...
This scene has taught me more than any master degree or corporate job possibly could. We were building and iterating faster than the engineering teams of the brands we were botting and the companies responsible for their infrastructure - at a fraction of the team size.
Nothing will beat the rush of deploying a last minute update to thousands of users or being the only bot hitting a drop.
The sheer amount of ingenuity required from devs of this community to find ways to beat the competition and get the slightest edge was just crazy and led to some insane finds from bypasses to undocumented APIs to admin tokens... the list goes on.
And to see some great talent go on to build even greater things is just amazing. I'm not surprised in the slightest way.

We are now in a position where a tiny proportion of the population uses Fable or soon GPT-5.6, while everyone else's experience of AI is 8-30b-model level - Google's AI Overviews, Meta AI, ChatGPT free tier, maybe MS Copilot at best. People outside of tech must be completely baffled how this is supposed to take their job, and annoyed that hundreds of billions are being poured into it.
