If she's not actually a spy then this is pretty disastrous.
BREAKING: Multiple sources in the US intelligence community say that the intelligence collected on Alice Huang, the suspected spy targeting Jensen Huang, does not prove she was acting as a spy for China, per CNN.
Some officials at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have said the characterization of Alice Huang as a Chinese spy is "not entirely accurate and over-torqued."
Officials at the CIA also are "not yet convinced" that the intelligence collection on Alice Huang so far, including intercepted communications, proves she was knowingly funneling information back to Beijing.
The FBI has reportedly been investigating this affair for at least a year.
We maintain our view that Jensen Huang and Nvidia prematurely parted ways.
A complete investigation is necessary.

全世界都在吃黄仁勋的瓜,却没几个人注意他临走前留下的那张 5300 亿美元的账单。
由于被董事会调查与多名下属的不当关系,外加与一名被怀疑替北京效力的客户有染,干了 33 年的黄仁勋突然辞去CEO,由首席财务官 Colette Kress 临时接替。
人虽然走了,但他用英伟达资产负债表给整个 AI 行业搭起来的巨大杠杆,还悬在半空。
翻开英伟达最新的二季度 10-Q 财报,它披露的表外义务总额已经从上季度的 1840 亿美元猛增到了 5300 亿美元。
这 5300 亿美元里,包含了从 1190 亿飙到 2790 亿美元的供应与产能承诺,大头是黄仁勋在 2025 年趁别人还没反应过来、亲自飞去韩国锁死的内存产能。靠着他跟供应商老板一对一的交情,以及优先给 SK 集团分配显卡的默契,英伟达拿到的 2027 年 HBM4 内存价格预计只有每 Gb 3.0 到 3.3 美元,而 AMD、博通、亚马逊和谷歌去买就得掏 3.7 到 4.1 美元。
如果说上游是卡脖子,那下游就是赤裸裸的“英伟达央行”了。
表外账单里另外几块暴涨的科目,全是替客户背的雷:帮 OpenAI 租下俄亥俄州园区做的土地和电力外壳担保,从 35 亿直接跳到了 1085 亿美元;另外还新冒出了 360 亿美元的“新云”收入包销保底协议,以及 200 亿美元的数据中心租约。至于账上,它手里还攥着 990 亿美元的股权投资。
市面上那些连投资级信用评级都没有的“新云”厂商和初创实验室,为什么能绕开传统云巨头借到便宜钱?很大程度上就是因为黄仁勋在给他们作保。英伟达第一天按全额利润把显卡卖给他们,转头就给买家的云收入保底、替买家向房东担保,甚至自己直接出面把租约签下来。
这套靠“黄仁勋看跌期权”运转的生态,很大程度上押在他一个人的威望和胆魄上。
当然,算力需求本身不假。而且据报道英伟达在 9 月份就已经暂停了新的“新云”保底交易。
但麻烦在于,英伟达过去 33 年从来就是围绕黄仁勋一个人建起来的,高管们平时连抛头露面都被刻意压制,所有重大决策全由他一人拍板。接下来无论是呼声最高的 CUDA 之父 Ian Buck 还是 Jonah Alben 接任正式 CEO,一个职业经理人当家的英伟达,大概率会像乔布斯走后的苹果一样变得保守,把大把现金拿去股票回购,而不是继续替客户签字画押。
要知道,英伟达的芯片现在虽然紧俏,但要想守住高昂的溢价,就得继续拿托底承诺撑着新云厂商;一旦新 CEO 对支持新云稍有犹豫,GPU 现货租价就可能下跌,利润被压扁的新云只好掉头去找 AMD 或谷歌 TPU 阵营。
新云一走,英伟达的订单量跟着缩水,它靠大订单锁死上游供应链的飞轮可能也就此断掉。
这个靠教父个人信用撑起来的算力生态很可能会迎来一轮大幅收缩,而上游供应链预计到 2028 年也会有超过七成的产能流向非英伟达客户。那个敢拿公司身家替全行业兜底的狂飙时代,恐怕也要跟着翻篇了。

Gun control is kind of a normie centrist position
David Pakman describes how people on the left are buying guns - in preparation to use against people "on the right."
Dave Chappelle says he feels better now that Charlie Kirk has been killed. Jennifer Welch jokes about digging him up to do it again.
It keeps getting worse.

Western (White) society is literally just an amusement park for non-Whites where Whites are forced to pay for their permanent holiday. Multi-trillion-dollar welfare state propped up only by the very people the regime is trying to get rid of. "Unsustainable" is an understatement

Yikes…
A few months ago, Jensen tore into his CFO calling her a "deer in the headlights" who wasn’t capable of making big decisions.
I wonder if this whole thing will be a gift in disguise to Huang. If this bubble pops while he is out, then he can come back and look like a hero

Nvidia’s board placed the CFO as interim CEO of the company.
That’s a really stupid decision.
The CEO is a General Manager.
The right interim leader would be Ian Buck who runs the largest and fastest growing Datacenter business.
Satya Nadella previously ran Azure - the largest and fastest growing business.
Andy Jassy led AWS - Amazon’s largest and fastest growing business.
General Managers lead, make trade-offs, hire, ship…
The life of a CFO is living in a spreadsheet - not the messiness of the real world.
The only good reason not to put Ian in as Interim CEO is if the board thought he might be knowingly caught up in export violations swirling the firm.
The General Manager would of course know all these details.
So, either the board is stupid or they have legitimate deeper concerns.
Either way, appointing the CFO as CEO raises questions, not confidence.

Whoa.
The CIA came out of the OSS. If they are bringing back the OSS, it could mean they are planning to dissolve the CIA.
As the CIA appears to be controlled by globalist forces based in Europe, this could be huge.
People are missing something in the NVIDIA / China / Jensen discourse.
If export controls are too strict then you're denying yourself revenue to accelerate the buildout of your next generation of tech
This just forces the creation of domestic competitors inside China
