My X feed this morning is bizarre.

I'm seeing dozens of people I don't follow, and have never heard of, simping for Nvidia, declaring their allegiance to Jensen Huang and repeating the same coordinated talking points:
- Sure, Huang had an affair, but it's nothing
- Huang will stay as Nvidia CEO
- Huang is a brilliant entrepreneur
- This will not pop the AI bubble
- AI will cure cancer, so infidelity doesn't matter
- We must double down on 'beating China'.

I understand the AI/tech is panicking after the election and this scandal.

But it's just weird that the X algorithm is pushing these cope messages so hard this morning. Especially from people I don't follow.

Anybody else notice this?

So apparently, Trump knew a year ago that Jensen Huang, American citizen and CEO of the world's most valuable company, was having a close relationship with a Chinese intelligence asset who was buying billions of dollars of advanced GPUs that were subject to export controls, and who was passing information back to Beijing. He didn't warn Huang or the nVidia board or the American people.

Meanwhile, he was publicly saying we must 'beat China' in the 'AI arms race' at all costs, and he was mocking all efforts to improve AI safety and to slow the development of dangerous Artificial Superintelligence.

If true, this is a scandal about 100x bigger than the Watergate scandal that brought down Nixon.

And it's a massive betrayal of conservatives like me who value both American national security and human survival.

Trying to teach my 3-year-old daughter about 'opposites':

Me: 'You know how black is the opposite of white? What's another opposite?'

Her: 'Blankets'

Me: 'What?'

Her: 'Blankets are the opposite of sheets'

Me: 'What's another opposite?'

Her: 'Tissues. They're the opposite of tissue boxes'

Me: 'Ok. Any other opposites?'

Her: 'Music is actually the opposite of windows'

Me: 'Wait, why?'

Her: 'Because ears are the opposite of eyes'

According to the pro-AI guys, there's no difference between constitutional representative democracy, and being ruled over by the totalitarian despotism of an ultra-powerful alien machine intelligence that has no allegiance or accountability to humanity.

Indeed, they prefer the machine to democracy.

Pro tip for young single women:

If a guy isn't seriously interested in meeting your parents and siblings within the first six months of dating you, he's not going to be seriously interested in marrying you.

Marriage is the merging of two extended families, and the merging of two sets of genes to make babies.

Any young man who doesn't understand that, deep in his bones, and at the forefront of his mind, is not good husband material. Move on and find a guy who gets it.
