US gov fires a warning shot at Nvidia: ‘We cannot let China get these chips… If you redesign a chip that enables them to do AI, I’m going to control it the very next day’

    At least Nvidia is a US based company, so this makes a bit more sense than the US gov threatening ASML (a dutch company) to block sales (to china) if they sell their latest models to China.

    What exactly would China do (or anyone for that matter, US included) that would be seen as a major threat with AI? I’ve heard this rhetoric a lot yet not really seen it explained how AI is going to kill us all?

    Jensen will just move the company to China, then.

    USGov is *delusional* if they think they can stop the spread of technology with rock-fist tactics like this. The cat is out of the bag *and* no capitalist worth their salt is going to ignore the largest economy on Earth.

    China can still buy it from other countries. Especially ones that are part of BRICS.

    This is actually a pretty big deal for gamers.

    The only path I see out of this is to kill ai performance on the redesigned cards, which could potentially mean Nvidia might release a 4090 GPU in terms of raster performance, but no DLSS.

    Or maybe I’m misreading this?

    Good, becuase China is not a free market and has a communist government that would force corporations to do what they like… oh wait!

    What’s to stop them from moving their hq to another country ? Or their country in general?

  11. Damn usa is not so free market after all…
    Honestly i hope nvidia finds a way around this. The government should have little say in who gets to buy gpus

    good, they might do evil Chinese things with them, such as:

    They are just trying to keep lobbies playable

    So Jensen is making bath salts? Just reformulating the research chemicals?
