## Summary

Julie Bort argues that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's ouster after confessing an affair could damage the AI industry. She says Huang was the sector's biggest advocate for open-weight models, led an agent safety effort with over 100 companies, and promoted financing for data centers. Bort adds that Nvidia's stock and its circular deals now face investor concern.
