But think of the shareholders 🥹
When the tech dominance is leveraged as a means to dominate the world through monopolizing services and infrastructure and then profiting on enshittification…
Good riddance.
To add insult to injury, China actually does not want any. They feel that they can do better… and without dependency on Trump.
The stupid/treacherous excuse to sell was, export control will accelerate China local GPU development. But the reality is, CCP allows some firms buying NVIDIA chips to accelerate their AI model training to bridge the gap, while limiting large scale buying to force local GPU development.
So it is a lose-lose for both the US and Nvidia. The US gets caught up with AI model training thanks to Nvidia selling, but Nvidia does not get much revenue out of China due to limits of selling volume. All these while Nvidia will be pushed out of the market in a few years when Chinese GPU firms catch up anyway.
In a situation like this, the second best option is to at least slow down their AI training by not selling the best chips and double down on stopping GPU smuggling. Yes Chines GPU may catch up, but it may happen with or without selling anyway.
The whole argument of selling is a deception and just greed over national security. Nvidia gets a little bit, really not much more revenues, but the US will lose its edge in the AI model training speed.
I don’t care. I really dont. American tech dominance? Fuck Big Tech. Seriously, I don’t give a damn if China gets tech dominance. I am shit out of fucks to give about whether American tech companies have the best tech to exploit us with.
I honestly don’t care anymore. SV tech-mongers have long since [advocated for themselves](https://www.npr.org/2025/12/12/nx-s1-5631823/david-sacks-ai-advisor-investment-conflicts), at the [expense of the rest of us](https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Business/bailout-federal-government-bailout-silicon-valley-bank-signature/story?id=97846142). They can all go pound sand.
It’s almost like the people making this stuff know that the whole AI thing is just a huge scam and they know it’s ultimately not going to work anyway, so they’re just trying to make as much $$$ as fast as they can before everyone else figures that out too, and the bubble pops and the whole thing falls apart.
But what do I know….I’m we’ll lose a lot of versatile solutions for modern living. lol
Trump: “please buy some of our Soybeans, we will let you have the AI chips!!!”
China is very close to catching up to us. Almost so that’s it’s in their best interest to no longer use our chips. Seems silly to keep export controls up.
China doesn’t even want them
when they heard that china won’t need the USA for those chips, they must have panicked
Never interfere when an opponent is making an error.
Are we sure that America actually has an AI advantage over China?
China is producing more AI patents than the USA. OpenAI has lost their first mover advantage as Google catches up and passes them, and China is making AI work with a fraction of the power and compute compared to American data centers which is going to put them ahead in the long-run.
bullshit China would get them anyway. I’d argue it’s the opposite. Before export controls China was happy using US chips. Now they have no choice but to innovate.
export controls didnt work either, all it did was make everyone else realize they needed alternatives or be reliant on america and coming up with creative solutions to get more out of old chips.
just like tarriffs made foreign companies stronger and more flexible to change since 2017 made them realize they relied too much on America.
and people didnt blame their governments for the hardships, they just blamed America even harder just like all the other times a country tried this tactic.
Trump got paid .. could care less .. he shits on this country and it’s constitution
China is already working on better chips with designs stolen during hacking…
Or someone buys one and ships it back to China and they reverse engineered it…
Oh no, China’s hallucinating plagiarism machines are going to be as good as our hallucinating plagiarism machines!
„But, but PROFITS!!!“
Guess they couldn’t offer as much bribe as Nvidia did.
America can’t compete with China for pricing or production.
Not sure how they think they’re going to hold onto this any which way this plays out.
