This is actually true. He distracted them to the point that the ignored every one else
Kyle Kulinski: “Every Democrat who won in the Senate across the country should send a f-ing bunch of flowers and a fruit basket over to Abdul El-Sayed. Why is that? Because Abdul El-Sayed took ALL of the slings and arrows that protected other Democratic candidates throughout the country.”

Jesus, this story is deeper than the memes
🚨 An interesting timeline:
- Mid '24: Jensen & Alice Huang relationship begins
- Late '25: China directs firms to reject US chips
- Early '26: Megaspeed (Alice’s firm) funnels $4.8B to Nvidia
- Nov '26: U.S. intel leaks affair right before Trump-Xi summit
My take: Jensen was using Alice, not the other way around.

I can’t wait for the movie 🎥 to come out.
This year, Beijing told Chinese companies to avoid buying Nvidia's H200 chip and use a Huawei chip instead. But US intelligence believes that China's main spy agency was secretly working the other side.
As the Financial Times reported on Saturday, the Ministry of State Security had recruited a Chinese businesswoman called Alice Huang. A US memo says she'd had a romantic relationship with Nvidia's chief executive, Jensen Huang. Nvidia won't comment.
The memo was passed to top US officials this spring, just before President Trump flew to Beijing. Jensen Huang was not on the plane. Instead, the president called him up, and Jensen flew to Alaska to board Air Force One on a stopover.
You don't send your top spy agency after something you don't want. And Huawei's founder, Ren Zhengfei, said last year that the US has exaggerated Huawei's achievements: that Huawei "isn't that capable yet."
Alibaba agrees. In March, the technical head of its AI cloud business said that the impact of not being able to use Nvidia chips is "big, very big."
This matters because Jensen Huang has spent years telling Washington that China doesn't really need American chips. If they can't get Nvidia products, he says, Chinese companies will switch to home-grown chips, so the US may as well keep selling them. This year, he personally lobbied President Trump to allow sales of the H200.
@DarioAmodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, is no skeptic when it comes to the idea that China will eventually make its own chips. His argument is that this is a moot point: the question is who will develop powerful AI first, because even a slight lead time can compound into a lasting lead.
In April, with the help of Anthropic's most recent model, a team at Mozilla fixed 423 security bugs in its Firefox web browser in a single month, around 20 times as fast as it can usually manage.
An old hand at Chinese cybersecurity summed up the mood in a WeChat post, saying that it felt as though China was still sharpening its swords when the other side had suddenly unveiled a fully automatic Gatling gun.
Beijing's spy agency seems to understand the stakes.
Alice Huang almost certainly isn't why Jensen wants to keep selling chips to China. He began warning about export controls back in 2023, and China generated around a fifth of Nvidia's revenue in 2024. He has a fiduciary duty to his shareholders to sell more chips.
But the optics look bad, and call into question his judgment. This week, the House committees on China, foreign affairs and intelligence asked to meet him in a closed-door briefing. Senator Chris Coons, who will become the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in January, has promised an investigation.
So the loudest voice in Washington pushing to sell chips to China in the exact years that Dario says are the ones that count is being called to answer questions in Congress.

@scott_colom wins Mississippi, same thing goes.
Jason Kander harped on this point. Electing one democrat in a red state opens the door down the line and makes a lot of things possible

Wow 😮 that’s messed up ⬆️
“They are completely nowhere near correct.”
That’s how Rankin County Election Commissioner Tanya Rivers described the Experian data that Republican Secretary of State Michael Watson’s office used to flag voters as having moved. Thousands of Mississippi voters were marked inactive, and many had to cast affidavit ballots.
Rivers also said the state never told commissioners it was using Experian, and she pushed back on Watson’s claim that checking the data was the counties’ job. Democrat Scott Colom leads Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith, and the race is still too close to call. We’ll be on the ground through Friday, with more to come.
