Can't be fired but can't be trusted either. I'm sure he's smart but if you're going to have an affair as the head of an industry the US desperately wants to keep away from the Chinese, maybe don't have one with a Chinese national? And certainly not a Chinese national that is the head of a Chinese company that wants the technology the US desperately wants to keep them from having.
What makes you so sure he's smart?
He probably thought his shitty jacket was the reason he was getting pussy.
If AI is so great, he could have avoided all this drama by just getting an AI mistress. What's up with that Huang?

He's now famous not only for his leather jacket but also for having let her jack it.
A bit off topic, but does anyone else hate this fake structure that some articles have? Here it's these "headings" printed bold.

Love it when bad people have bad days 😆
Once, Michael Jordan was greatness. We had hero after hero showing us all what could be done.
Today, we have these people acting as greatness. They're not. They're weak men with small minds. Nothing they do could ever survive the field of battle.
I don't want to be part of technology anymore. It's boring and everything it does is a worse form of something we already did.
Part of the problem might be that the example of a better hero is just some sports player. While there are things to admire about that level of dedication to something, there's nothing heroic about playing sports.
Though the problem isn't so much that sports icons are treated as heroes at all but that I can't really think of any good heroes to look up to outside of fiction.
Though I also think that maybe we should look up to deeds rather than people, since when it's a person, that person's flaws become part of the question, but it's really the deeds that should be emulated anyways, even for the ones that didn't have some massive disqualifying flaw come out.
Like if you want to be more like Mr Rogers and do it by just wearing sweater vests and changing shoes when you come inside, you're missing the point.
Similarly, if a serial killer rushes into a burning building to save a kid and their cat, that's still admirable, even if it doesn't get them across the line to "ok person overall".
You know in 5th grade I too went through a leather jacket phase. Really cool bomber jacket style that I got at a thrift store. But when I grew out of it I didn't replace it with a new one and make that my entire personality.
Shout out to the book Red Tide by M. P. Woodward. It's a military thriller where one of the main plot points is a Chinese spy seducing the son of the CEO of a semiconductor manufacturer, in order to export AI chips to China. The book was published last year. The author worked in naval intelligence, so I guess there may have been rumors about this scenario before...
Huang's wang burst the AI bubble
Who would’ve thought a country run by Pooh Bear would be so skilled at using honeypots.
