i strongly dislike how jensen has acted in a self serving manner even when that is destroying the world. i can’t say i have too high a view of marital infidelity either, but i see people who mostly dislike him because of the former react with an unfairly strong moral outrage towards the latter, which feels very opportunistic. also the spy part seems mostly outside his control?
I don't think it's insane that someone in a position as important as Jensen's should be held to higher standards? But I directionally agree.

I also don't think 'don't sleep with foreign nationals' is really the standard to expect here, it's more 'don't sleep with a PRC citizen who is an executive of a company facing allegations of diverting nvidia chips to China in violation of export controls'.
If Jensen was sleeping with a Swedish pharmaceutical executive who later turned out to be a PRC spy I think people would be a lot mor understanding
