Are you implying that if you have good judgement a few times, you can't have any bad judgement ever?

Dating a spy is not poor judgment? And sorry, if you're running of the world's most valuable and strategically important companies, and if an attractive woman with hazy business connections appears out of the blue in your orbit, you really ought to entertain the possibility.

Wasn't it Anthropic or OpenAI that sent a warning about this exact possibility to regular employees?

Exactly! I said this elsewhere in this thread but why are we so willing to reward these executives with insane wealth and influence but they can’t be held to the same level of standards they expect from their own employees?

It is the same standard though.

Why do you think we always have to do those trainings every year about not taking supplier to strip clubs?

If you break the rules but bring in business you get to stick around. That's the actual rule.

I mean, even before you get into her being a spy, giving company secrets to an affair partner generally isn't very good business judgment either.

Whether you think that outweighs everything else is a distinct argument, but the two things aren't mutually exclusive.

How can you tell? Sitting on the top of a huge self inflating baloon that goes up doesn't mean you are an excellent pilot.

Treating AMD/Intel as a control group, Nvidia has done quite well.
