    This is what happens when there are zero reliable reporters to call bullshit, CEOs make shit up and no-one checks their work. It’s just ‘Jensen Huang says’.

    Shocker, cut China off from US designed (not manufactured) chips and they make their own (capitalist competition, remember that old thing), still coming up to speed, but soon, and I’d like some DDR5 (or 6) SamA you dick.

    The only thing at play for these pricks is the ‘CUDA moat’ (and the lack of effort from AMD’s RocM, also, you wouldn’t believe how amenable that [ironically] is to LLM coding), and a few hardware tricks (it’s just compute, catch up will happen), but if there’s someone outside your duopoly that dog won’t continue to hunt. Bad thing when a vasty majority of US GDP is AI BS. Shame you’ve got an idiot rampaging through the world markets for a relative pittance (but actual fortune) from insider trading. Who would have thought that’d go badly long term.

    Back to weapons for you, and your military doesn’t know how to make a cheap (anything) drone.

      Ironically, it may actually be Trump who brings about the rapid global adoption of EVs and renewable energy because of his stupid war with Iran and his tariffs. The rest of the world is fed up with having to rely on fossil fuels and they are dramatically ramping up both EV adoption as well as renewable energy.

      I get the feeling that the US and Russia will be the last countries to fully adopt electric vehicles.

      Meanwhile Trump is paying companies in the US to shutter wind turbine projects.

        Yah, I think of it as Trump’s own goal.

        Environmental progress through massive incompetence, ego and fraud. Actually rather a nice capstone to Pax Americana.

      And American attitude is turning the world away from them. If China comes up with good chips, I think they have a huge market. People dont trust US technology now.

      Huawei made excellent laptops until US shut them down. Its always the US. And they are always spreading fear about China spying, while having backdoors into American technology themselves.

        I’m thinking that there is not a single American strategy to try and keep ahead of China which is not some form of bullshit, be it the “scare” of “Chinese backdoors in Tech” to try and convince other countries not to buy Chinese Tech or the desperate, desperate, oh so desperate attempt at turning into a Future-defining Tech an American-dominated subset of ML (that’s been called AI and treated as if it’s genuinelly intelligent) being propelled by America’s until recently highly successful Tech Investment environment, all of which failing because of that kind of ML’s inherent limitations and because said Tech Investment environment is nowadays mostly Fraud so overpromised and kept pushing as “the Future” well beyond the point it proved its inherent limits what’s de facto a failed prototype.

        I have no doubt in my mind that America, right now, has failed to grab the Future and is already fading into irrelevance, and this not even a Trump thing even though he definitelly expedited it.

        I just hope the corrupt crooks that pass for politicians in this side of the Atlantic (Europe) don’t drag us down with America.

      Lets not forget Moore’s law is dead. There are no more die shrinks to be had. We’re measuing gates with atoms.

      The dog is doomed.
