Keep digging and you'll reach the bottom in another 7 days. 😂
“Chinese spy” is a short hand. It’s unlikely Alice Huang was a full time fully trained intelligence officer. But that’s not the only type of “spy.” It looks like she was more of a shady businesswoman who reported to and thereby worked for the MSS. A front. A bagwoman. A cutout. An asset. Call it what you will. The point is that she was a national security risk passing intel to our adversary. That’s a “Chinese spy” in the common sense understanding of the term.

China graduates 5 million STEM graduates a year, of which about 100k are phds. Yea, that's every year. If you think they won't be able to make their own advance AI chips & GPUs in a year or two, given all the resources they are pouring into it, good luck to you, young Luke.

That Jensen had a romantic relationship w someone not his wife is an issue between him and his wife. Not yours, not mine. There is zero evidence Alice Huang is a spy. Until there is, this thing is just sections of the US deep state trying 2 control Nvidia, the most... 1/2

...important co. in the AI race. But Nvidia is now at risk of imploding, just as Apple once imploded w/o Jobs. It'll be interesting what his next step is. He might start another co., as Jobs did. Or he might take that call from China. Seems Hawks r being stupid again. 2/2

Fact remains: Between 40-50% of the USA electorate continue to support a racist, genocide-enabling, depraved, islamophobic, narcissistic, illiterate, pathological liar as their president. #BlueWave or not, I ain't sure things will change much, frankly. Not to Gaza anyway.

A tycoon ranted to me about "socialists." I replied: "Do you believe in public health care? Public education? Public transport? Pension funds?" "Of course". "All originally socialist ideas," I said. Quiet. Perhaps he needed time to re-categorise his episteme.

Infantino has lost! Asia have just weighed in against him. AFC have 47 votes UEFA have 55 votes CONCACAF have 41 votes The nays have the majority, 143 out of 211 votes. Now it's time to fire that grifter who tried to steal football from the fans.

Films need to be read, not just watched. But to read a film, one must first learn how to read a book. #Nolan's subtext is clear. Yet most miss it. Perhaps too much Tik Tok and not enough books. #TheOddysey isn't historical fantasy and our Age Of Bronze is indeed collapsing.

When literary critics and film geeks in China deconstruct the declining American empire lament central to the Nolan's treatment, it will explode there too. Elon will have a fit.
It's made over $600 million and hasn't even opened in China yet??? Elon on suicide watch, bro.

1/3 #oddysey Just saw Nolan's ode to the fall of the liberal west, where moral compass has broken and chaos ensues. From accent to cast to the strange use of the term "dad", Nolan wasn't subtle in his lament. Yet, the clearest metaphor remains the evocation of this image:

3/3 ...America's liberal democracy turned out to be a lie, where kindness of strangers is subverted, where power can no longer be anchored to honour, where hubris rules. And thus the fall of western civilisation is the result. The western political right won't be pleased.

People whinging about logic and inaccuracies vis-a-vis a film adaptation of an epic tale written by an 800 BC poet about a ficticious character who encountered gods, sirens and cyclops on his travels after a mythical war that took place in a Bronze Age Anatolia. I despair.

I'm glad u like it here & am sorry to see u go. M'sia is a good place. BUT 1. To say #NS has no intention of subverting the host country's sovereignty go against many of its supporters' explicit & implicit public statements, including the founder's. /1 of 5
I've been a member at Network School for nearly 2 months, and I would like to do my best to refute the claim that NS is a 'threat to Malaysian sovereignty'. Most of it comes from people who haven't read the book. It's free, so if you haven't, start here: thenetworkstate.com/the-netw… 🧵

4. To publicly threaten the country with withdrawal of funds is idiotic. More so when the sum is minuscule. It's insulting & reeks of arrogance. Hell, if @balajis can abandon ship & pivot 2 Kzstan so quickly, it only means the USD25M "investment" was a lie 2 begin with. /4 of 5

5. I'm sorry 2 see u go as we r hospitable by nature. But I don't hold much hope 4 #NS if it continues to be led like this, whether located here or not. Msians hv had 2 dealt w grifters & dishonest cowboys all our lives. Your hero reeked of one. Good luck. Come visit soon.
