> Compromised or not, Jensen was right – sell them the chips and they won’t be forced to get them under the counter or develop their own.
I disagree. China is only acquiring technology to copy the best parts and improve the rest. There are plenty of examples over the past decades.
They would never be a permanent customer of Nvidia, they would destroy Nvidia long term by offering better chips for cheaper, especially as they are going to take Taiwan in the near future.
Feel free to do some research about how china won the solar game, that would be your textbook example of how they are going to destroy Nvidia.
They do this with cars, they did it with solar, they do it with weapons-grade tech.
It’s an absolute fever dream to think selling them chips would mean they wouldn’t get more under the counter and develop their own improved designs.
We are talking about a nation-state actor with unlimited pockets. They can go down all of these roads at the same time and if I were china and winning AI means winning everything, i would do exactly that.
Using Jensen like a greedy prostitute to get the goods right from the source was just the easiest way to get those chips.
The collapse of Jensen is also strengthening China, they already have what they wanted, now he gets put in the trash so the US can no longer profit from his undeniable talents attracting investments into American AI domination.
Seriously, what is 4 or 7b to China?
Better than sending Chinese black ops to disappear a ship full of Nvidia chips and risk complications with another nation-state actor.
Why wouldn’t they take the way of least resistance which was through Jensens greed, ego and illoyalty to his wife?
China has a long-term plan, is extremely focused at accomplishing milestones and they are already ahead in almost every sector compared to the US of the past 20 years, that has become a political dumpster fire.
China is winning.
And the chips that Jensen allowed to move there will be used to accelerate the already working strategy in all of its aspects. He didn’t just fuck most of his company and partners as it seems, he fucked every American in existence.
Enough smart people in the US government have seen that, but they are dealing with a kleptocratic family and friends scheme that is selling their nation’s interests to enrich themselves.
It is what it is. And it won’t get better.
