A week ago, Jensen Huang was one of the most powerful men in the world — the founder-CEO of Nvidia, the company whose chips run the AI boom. Then, as Eric Sammons says, “literally within a week, it all falls apart for him.”
Huang admitted an affair after more than forty years of marriage. There were also accusations that the woman, Megaspeed executive Alice Huang, might be a Chinese spy — a claim Eric stresses has not been proven, and that he says is already “falling apart.” Eric’s first lesson is blunt: if you follow the Ten Commandments, it doesn’t just help lead you to eternal life; it makes life on earth a lot easier. “Unfortunately for Jensen Huang, that’s not what happened.” An affair, he says, is a mortal sin. But he also thinks the official story “doesn’t add up” — that boards don’t usually oust the “Steve Jobs” of their industry this fast over “just an affair.”
Then he turns to what most people have missed. In the last few months, AI has begun improving itself. Recursive self-improvement, long predicted by the Singularity theorists, is “already here.” Agents like Grok Bot can now do work that was impossible a short time ago. Eric doesn’t buy the machine-takeover ending — machines still have no charisma and can’t sense the mood of a room — but he does have that Margin Call feeling that the world has already changed, and most people haven’t noticed. The Catholic answer, he says, is Pope Leo’s “human first” movement: use the tools, put humanity first.
