On the contrary, the allegations are tabloid level nonsense. Jensen does not even posses any "sensitive info". He is just a ceo for a company that designs chips, something China has no trouble doings. What China lacks is the manufacturing knowhow of the most advanced lithography machines which will also allow them to manufacture the most advanced chips locally. Huang however does not have a single clue about that chip manufacturing.

He has access to all sensitive info, he's the chief officer! He would not have access to some sensitive unreleased, but the rest he's pretty aware. And he signs every deal.

Yeah, he has die layouts tattooed on his penis.

A single clue really? I reckon he knows a decent amount about chip manufacturing. You know, as part of his role getting microchips designed and manufactured for thirty years. Ok he might not know the minutiae about the techniques used at TSMC but he’ll know a huge amount - he’s not just hand waving at subordinates getting them to deal with it. The fact that he doesn’t yak on about it shouldn’t be confused for ignorance.

But it's precisely the minutiae details that are important. Everybody knows how lithography machines work. It's making them efficient that is hard to do.

And he’s failed to coordinate that happening how?

He started as an engineer and easily could have all kinds of shit on a laptop that could have been accessed physically

On the plus side we might start seeing a lot more modded 5090 with 96GB of ram
