Sign of a coming AI arms race? If the image generation market is getting too saturated, maybe OpenAI can sell something to the government. No one has deeper pockets.
More likely a landwar in asia.
Taiwan is where these cards come from right?

#33Very worrying to see the restrictions against China escalating; Especially since China is incredibly advanced in hardware manufacturing and is not at war with the West. At best, this is just pushing for escalation so they can restrict exports on their side too. Even, for them. In one of their speech (in France, on a YouTube channel called Thinkerview for those who know), one of their representative quoted a Chinese p…
Mainland China has no current and short-term future capability to manufacture cutting-edge chips of the kind used in these GPUs.

#34Jokes on them. China should already have IP ownerships of these products just because of the fact that Nvidia has their manufacturing hubs based there. They will get the IP and then copy the product and sell them to the rest of the world in 1/10th of price. SEC is not stupid to not know this. May be they just want Nvidia stocks to go down so their already bought puts print now? Paul Pelosi recently bought those puts.
Your comment history was very predictable given this comment.

I'm not a foreign policy expert, but the PRC seems to have very aggressive territorial ambitions. Its nine dash line incorporates vast swathes of land and water that international law recognizes as belonging to other countries.
To strengthen its claims in the West Pacific, the PRC has embarked on an unprecedented island building program in the region, and turned those islands into military outposts.
Here's a good breakdown of the history of PRC claims in the West Philippine Sea:

The regulations are revised on a regular basis so twenty years later maybe it's more like anything above a 3090 Ti. Also I suspect that "so powerful it's almost illegal" marketing back in the day was just marketing. It's possible that the US got wind of some military/dual-use supercomputers based on A100/H100 and decided to block them but that's just speculation.
How long would it take one A100 to crack RSA 2048?
Still forever.

#39And so then Russia buys them via Armenia or Kazakstan for a 30% markup... The only way to really do this is to geo-fence disable the chips.
Lol, how would geo-fencing even work/help here?

US is scared.
The world isn't really going in the right direction and any sign toward appeasing or pacification is crucial at such stage :/ What I am calling for: closer ties and negotiations and collaborative work.
I hope you do realize you've been smoking at the proverbial gas station for 30 years now?
The first step when you find yourself in a hole is to stop digging. Too late for that now, I have to admit.
