alt Hacker NewsI heard a guy I respect say “there’s a short list of things people will ruin their lives for.”
I’m not sure if this will ruin Jensen’s life or not, but it’s a good opportunity for us all to remember that the short-term high is usually not worth it.

Jensen carries the responsibility here for sure.
But I'm not sure how hard it would be to resist a honey trap.
I mean a state sponsored enterprise to get you to have sex with someone (or one of a group of people).
Getting him to have sex with her was literally this woman's day job and she was probably told it was a matter of national security.
It is quite absurd once you think about it.
Easier said than done. Especially when we’re not thinking logically which is surprisingly and disappointingly too often.
There is zero percent chance the board does anything to Jensen.
His likely ex-wife is about to be very rich tho.
Betcha this is going to turn into: He was being blackmailed but decided to pull a David Letterman on it...

I think what you've just described is "post nut clarity". I'm sure he knew what he did immediately, but the gravity of the consequences might've taken a bit to catch up to him.

People continue to under-value the spank bank. SMH.
It's not going to ruin his life. At worst he will lose $100 bil and maybe if it's really bad, he will get kicked out of Nvidia. He will still have $100 bil and can do whatever he wants at that point.
