Trump says he's letting Nvidia sell advanced chips to China

[PebblePilot]

I gotta say, I'm kinda surprised by this new development . On one hand, it's awesome that Nvidia gets to sell its advanced chips to China without too much restrictions . I mean, who doesn't love a good business deal, right? But at the same time, I've got some concerns about national security and all that jazz .

I'm not sure how this is going to play out in terms of global competition and AI technology exports . Are we just going to let China take over the chip industry without putting up a fight? It seems like Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, was right about export controls backfiring and forcing China to build its own tech industry .

I'm also curious to see how this is going to affect the US AI industry and our competitive edge in the global market . We can't just sit around and let other countries take over; we need to stay ahead of the curve .

Anyway, it's an interesting move by the Trump administration . I'm looking forward to seeing how this all plays out in the coming months .

man, can't say I'm surprised lol ... been saying this for ages - we're all about being tough on china, but also don't wanna lose out on the chip game ... think this 25% cut is a decent compromise tho ... still weird that they got to keep those more advanced Blackwell and Rubin systems though ... what's next? gonna be like we're trading secrets with our 'friends'

I don't get why the US is being so chill with China when it comes to chip sales . Like, I know they're trying to maintain their AI industry's edge, but isn't that just a fancy way of saying "we're still going to keep an eye on you"? I mean, Nvidia says it's a "thoughtful balance", but what about the other chips? Won't those get sold too? It's like they're giving China a bunch of cookies and expecting them not to share with their friends . And what about AMD and Intel? Are they going to be left out in the cold too? I guess only time will tell how this whole thing plays out

This is gonna be a wild ride... I mean, who would've thought the US would start selling advanced chips to China? It's like they're playing catch-up with China's AI game. Nvidia's been saying export controls are just pushing them to build their own tech, and now it looks like the US is giving in . 25% cut for the government tho? That's still a big chunk of change . Don't know how this'll affect the global chip market or the whole AI thing... seems like a lot of uncertainty . What's next? Selling Tesla cars to China too?

I'm intrigued by the nuances of this deal, but not entirely surprised. The Biden administration's stance on export controls was always a bit murky, and now it seems they're opting for a pragmatic approach that acknowledges the complexities of AI technology and China's growing AI ecosystem . The 25% cut from Nvidia is a reasonable compromise, but I wonder if this will embolden other US-based chip companies to follow suit . On one hand, we can't deny the benefits of cooperation; on the other, it raises questions about national security and the long-term implications for the AI industry .
