    but Chinese chips are still a few generations behind and will remain that way for a while.

    Buddy…

    That’s the problem.

    China has “worse” chips, but they’re finding ways to make them beat the “best” chips…

    If China still used Nvidia, then others could rip off their gains in code and training.

    But once Chinese chips are different enough, then all of the Nvidia line the west is sinking money into at an unprecedented rate becomes the guy who sank his inheritance into a Betamax rental store.

    All those data centers, manufacturing, everything, obsolete.

    But American companies won’t admit that, because then they stop making money. And they control the American government, so no one will stop them.

    We’re going full speed towards a massive technological deadend, because the people driving the bus know that if they crash, they can make the government use our tax money to bail them out.
