HUMAN INTELLIGENCE: Being head of the largest company making computer chips for artificial intelligence doesn’t mean you act smart.

  The board of Nvidia is grappling with what to do about Jensen Huang, the company’s founder who had an affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. Nvidia controls about 90 percent of the market for the chips used in the big artificial intelligence projects driving the US economy. And Huang is Nvidia’s largest shareholder.

  “While the board has no reason to believe that either national security or Nvidia secrets were compromised, the board’s inquiry will examine all available information,” Nvidia’s board said in a statement. 

  The NY Times reports that the woman in question, Alice Huang, who is no relation to Jensen, is a Singapore-based businesswoman recruited by China’s spy agency to learn what she could about US AI chip making. It’s unknown whether she reported anything significant to Beijing.

  In his own statement, the 63-year-old Huang said, “I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”

LOYALTY OATH: The odious Stephen Miller goes to work today as President Trump’s chief of staff.

   “If it wasn’t for President Trump, the United States of America would not exist right now,” Miller said at a gala at Trump’s Florida residence on Friday, adding: “I swear to you and I pledge to you, Mr. President, my absolute loyalty, my unwavering commitment and my total devotion to your success and the success of this country.”

MORNING AFTER: The NY Times published a chain of texts between  fraternity brothers and the “Jane Doe” now claiming she was ganged raped at a Cornell University fraternity house, revealing that she said at the time that she was a willing participant in sex with multiple young men. The trail of texts reveals that Jane Doe later changed her mind regarding her consent. 

  In one text Jane Doe says to a fraternity brother, “while we’re all obviously denying what happened to anyone who asks, i hope that we can joke about all this (in private obv) later down the line.” In another text she says, “i think we all have a soul bond now cause very few people can say they’ve had an experience like that. while it’s good to keep it away from the public i don’t think it’s something to feel ashamed of in private.”

  Student Jonathan Newell texts an apology saying, “My memory’s kinda fuzzy abt a lot of it but me and Matt both feel like shit for being too fucked up to shut it down and kick people out before it got way out of hand.”

  Jane Doe responds, in part, “but at the end of the day non of the sexual stuff was illegal and honestly i really liked being w u and matt. so anything anyone has to say about the gamgbang is out of their jurisdiction.” 

  She also texted that, “ps. i’m not sure if u remember but i did ket off your dick at some point❓ and i honestly think that was one of the most insane/jaw dropping moments of the night.”

  Later, as word of the event spreads on campus, Jane Doe texts, “my reputation is destroyed and i’m utterly ashamed.”

  Days later, after more texts about spreading rumors and whether she was invited to the Chi Phi fraternity Halloween party, Jane Doe makes her first claim that what happened the night of October 19, 2024, was not consensual. “let’s be clear that 90% of what happened that night was not consensual,” she wrote, “i was given more key (ketamine drug) than i can remember and i know that i told u i felt uncomfortable and i didn’t know anyone in the room. all i remember after that was u giving me ket to do off your dick in front of everyone like a sex doll/worker.”

THE LONG COUNT: Mississippi is on the cusp of having its first Black senator … ever.

  With 95 percent of the vote counted, Democrat Scott Colom leads this morning by 2,574 votes over the appointed incumbent, Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith. Election experts will tell you that at this point there’s little that could happen with uncounted votes, mistakes or recounts, to reverse the situation. 

  The Senate race in Alaska remains unresolved with Democrat Mary Peltola leading Republican Dan S. Sullivan by just 637. Only 75 percent of the vote is counted and the deadline is Friday for ballots to arrive from the state’s vast hinterlands.

  The New York Times notes that with so much new and younger blood injected into the Senate by the midterm elections, the average age will be a youthful 63.

INFINITE SCROLL:

— President Trump admitted in a “60 Minutes” interview that his immigration policies may have hurt him in last week’s election. “I think it might be too tough, yeah” he said, “That hurt me.”

— House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who’s in line to become Speaker in January, said he is a “hard yes” on a resolution to impeach Defense Secretary Hegseth that is expected to come to the floor this week.

THE SPIN RACK: Israel’s president has tapped Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s political rival, Gadi Eisenkot, to try to form the next government. — Bicycle-borne protesters trying to organize a boycott of Jewish businesses yesterday in Philadelphia’s upscale Rittenhouse Square were shouted down and blocked by crowds of counter-demonstrators. The protesters claimed that it was an “anti-Zionist” action although they failed to draw a connection to the hot pastrami sandwich at Schlesinger’s Deli.

BELOW THE FOLD: The President over the weekend used his social media feed to offer the job of White House press secretary to Dana White, the former UFC fighter who’s now the Ultimate Fighting CEO.

 White declined and Trump said he was only joking. You know he wasn’t joking because White has no qualifications for the job.
