A company should never be in a position where it can represent a national security concern.
If it’s possible for that to be the case, it needs to be under national control, because it’s leadership needs to b able to be held accountable.
Microsoft: sweating profusely
To be fair, this doesn’t have any national security concerns.
Sure. But theyyyyvee alleged that there are national security concerns around what countries have access to what chips. So if you as the CEO of a company are saying that your company is a national security concern, then, imo, your company can no longer be a company in a traditional sense, and should be taken into receivership at some level by the US Government. We canʻt have national security interests exposed to the whims of a market casino. Simply put, the interests canʻt be guaranteed to be in alignment.
Of course it does. He was selling restricted chips through megaspeed. They were restricted for export because of national security concerns.
They were restricted for export because line must go up, not because of national security concerns. There is no effective national security concern for AI or GPUs. There is nothing AI does that is particularly special, nor can it do anything that a bored teen with google and a command of the English language cannot do.
It’s absolutely stupid to try to control the flow of mass produced goods like GPUs anyway.
Why isn’t anyone talking about what gives the US the right to say who can use chips produced in South Korea, anyway? Oh, right, of course… because we certainly wouldn’t China getting bigger and more powerful, or they might be telling other countries what to do with their own products!
South Korea is literally an occupied colony of the USA. What else would you expect.
You know they have fake police stations across the world lol? Do you know why they have those fake police stations? Do you think they are a good country with happy people leading it? CCP ass statement over here lmao
You know USA has CIA stations worldwide?
Compare and contrast the two types of buildings for me, please.
What are these fake police stations? Are they anything like the US’s real military bases?
And I’m a big fan of a multipolar world, even if it’s just a pipe dream.
If you are going to say “China should not be the hegemon” you have to also explain why the US should be.
The US at least has its own people running it sometimes, China is run by dictators all the time. That alone is more than enough reason
Comparing military bases to fake police stations is hilarious btw, definitely not whataboutism lol
I don’t think right now is the best time to parade the benefits of representative democracy when it’s never been clearer that we’re run by oligarchs. Not saying China is better, just wishing we could be what we’re advertised as.
I’m actually asking you what you’re talking about with fake police stations because I have no idea; and if you are saying the United States is better than China, the fact that is has military bases scattered across 55 countries should be relevant. But the going idea is that we just attack China in isolation without asking ourselves what doing so means on the world stage (namely, continuing the hegemony of the United States).
So what are these fake police stations?
Dawg lmao we literally have a foreign asset from Russia running the country, we may as well already be trial running a CCP style of government. China doesn’t have any actual elections going on at the national scale, meanwhile Trump is nearly completely stuck being a lameduck as long as our checks and balances aren’t completely dismantled by our compromised supreme court.
Don’t learn about fucking genocidal countries from me, go look it up yourself and feel free to let me know why you think it’s okay for a country to use fake police to stifle dissent across the globe about a genocidal country.
I can call my own country a genocidal slaver country without any major worry because if they’re going after me, they’re going after 60% of the country too. Chinese people cannot do the same, because they are completely and utterly dominated by their authoritarian and fascist government.
The way I look at it is I’d rather live in the United States than China. But I’d rather live NEAR China than near the United States.
Unchecked capitalism strikes again.
Nvidia CEO Stupid Jacket resigns after his affair raises national security concerns
The jacket was always a red flag for me. Any time I see a middle aged+ rich guy with vanity muscles and a peacock jacket, my first thought is “that guy is definitely cheating on his spouse”. lol
