I Wrote Jensen Huang’s Biography. Here’s What Led to His Downfall.
THE NEW YORK TIMES: We live in the age of artificial intelligence — an age that Jensen Huang, perhaps more than any other single person, has made possible. The systems we are building with Nvidia’s equipment will transform our society and culture in ways we can’t imagine. But Mr. Huang’s unraveling is not a technology story. It is a timeless tale of masculine hubris, of a man undone by reckless overconfidence. Some things never change.
When I wrote my biography of Mr. Huang, I titled it “The Thinking Machine.” The name referred to the microchips that powered A.I., but also to Mr. Huang’s marauding, relentless intellect, which never slowed down or turned off. In the wake of his stunning departure, spurred by revelations that he carried on at least two affairs, one with a woman whom U.S. intelligence determined is a Chinese spy, and another with one of his direct reports, I should write a sequel: “The What-Were-You-Thinking?! Machine.”
Let’s start with Mr. Huang’s affair with Alice Huang, an executive who managed a Singapore-based company that owns data centers in Southeast Asia. These data centers are suspected of helping Chinese A.I. developers circumvent U.S. restrictions on sales of Nvidia equipment. A recent report in The Information suggests they were used as a way station to illicitly smuggle some $7 billion of equipment into China. Since U.S. intelligence captured evidence of Mr. Huang in a romantic relationship with Ms. Huang, it’s hard to believe that he did not understand what was going on.
Now consider Mr. Huang’s reported involvement with Kimberly Powell, an executive in the health care group at his firm and his direct subordinate. A former Nvidia employee told me this affair was common knowledge in the company — the same company that employs both of Mr. Huang’s children in executive roles. It’s a stunning and disrespectful display of arrogance. I asked the former employee why Mr. Huang would behave this way, right in front of his kids. The former employee said that it got him high — a narcissist’s high. » | Stephen Witt | Mr. Witt is the author of “The Thinking Machine,” a biography of Jensen Huang. | Thursday, November 12, 2026
Microsoft Users Hit by Global Tech Failure
THE TELEGRAPH: Microsoft is grappling with a major global tech blackout, leaving millions of users and businesses unable to access their emails and other programs, including Microsoft 365, Outlook and Teams.
Schools, the NHS, police services and businesses in the UK are all affected by the tech failure, which has dragged on for more than 14 hours since problems began at around 6pm GMT on Thursday.
The service blackout has spread worldwide, affecting Microsoft services in 74 countries and territories, including the UK, the US, Asia and Australia according to website-tracker Downdetector. The tech giant blamed the issue on an “elevated load” on its infrastructure after servers unexpectedly became unavailable, putting more pressure on its remaining systems.
Executives insisted there was “no indication” that the company had been hit with a cyber attack. An update on Friday morning said the recovery efforts were “ongoing”. » | Chris Price | Markets Editor | Friday, November 13, 2026

Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang Resigns after Second Affair Allegations | BBC News
Nov 12, 2026 | Jensen Huang has resigned as CEO of tech giant Nvidia, the company's board says, with chief financial officer Colette Kress appointed interim boss.
The resignation was announced in the wake of affair with suspected Chinese spy, which led to the firm's stocks plunging.
The company's shares have recovered some ground after initially plummeting more than 13% when US markets opened shortly after news of Huang's resignation.
On Sunday, Huang admitted an affair with a woman who was repeatedly from another company and suspected to be a Chinese spy. On Thursday, the New York Times reported that he had a second affair with an executive at his own company.

« La perte de Jensen Huang est un véritable coup dur » : la chute du patron de Nvidia provoque un séisme sur la planète IA
LE FIGARO : RÉCIT - Le départ contraint de son charismatique fondateur est un véritable bouleversement pour l’entreprise, largement structurée autour de lui, et pour tout l’écosystème qui en est devenu très dépendant.
Le sort du patron de la plus stratégique entreprise technologique du moment s’est scellé autour d’une relation extraconjugale, mais pas celle attendue. Jensen Huang a démissionné jeudi, à la suite d’un conseil d’administration de Nvidia, réuni en urgence dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi. Les événements se sont précipités après la révélation par le New York Times d’une autre liaison qu’a eue Jensen Huang avec une de ses vice-présidentes, Kimberly Powell, chargée de la division santé du groupe, qui travaillait donc sous sa responsabilité directe. Ce « scoop » a précipité la douloureuse décision des 11 membres du conseil d’administration de le faire quitter immédiatement son poste de directeur général. Le fondateur, et seul patron de Nvidia depuis sa création, il y a trente ans, était déjà embourbé depuis plusieurs semaines dans un scandale bien plus grave, lié à sa liaison avec Alice Huang, une ancienne dirigeante de la plateforme de cloud Megaspeed, soupçonnée d’être une espionne chinoise et au cœur d’un trafic illégal de puces IA de la marque vers Pékin. » | Par Ingrid Vergara | jeudi 12 novembre 2026

"American Scoundrel": From Roy Cohn to Stephen Miller, "McCarthyism Lives On," Says Author Kai Bird
Nov 11, 2026 | We speak with historian Kai Bird about American Scoundrel, a new biography of the notorious political fixer Roy Cohn, who rose to fame as chief counsel to Joe McCarthy during the senator's anti-communist campaign, served as a lawyer for the New York mob, and was an influential voice in Republican circles until his death from AIDS-related complications in 1986. His most impactful relationship, however, would prove to be with a young Donald Trump, whom he mentored in business and politics during the 1970s and '80s.
Facing political setbacks during his first term as president, Trump reportedly asked, "Where's my Roy Cohn?" Bird, who co-authored American Scoundrel with his wife Susan Goldmark, says Trump may have found his Cohn in Stephen Miller, the architect of the administration's mass deportation policies who Trump just elevated to chief of staff.
"It's not really a surprise that, cornered and wounded by the recent election results, he reaches out and pulls up Stephen Miller, who's very similar in his willingness to go on the offensive and never back down, and to say outrageous things to try to change the narrative," says Bird.

The Dark Story of Giorgio Armani
Sep 10, 2026 } He was King Giorgio, the most powerful man in the history of Italian fashion. He built an empire worth billions, dressed nearly every star in Hollywood, and ruled his kingdom entirely alone for forty years, answering to no one. In his final interview, he was asked to name his greatest weakness. His answer was chilling. I am in control of everything.
But behind the flawless suits and the untouchable power was one of the loneliest men who ever lived. This is the story of the boy who was set on fire as a child, who clawed his way out of a broken country to conquer the entire fashion world, and who lost the only person he ever truly loved at the very moment his dream came true, a loss so painful he was forced to hide even the truth of it from the world. The empire everyone saw. And the broken heart almost no one did.
