The US blocked high power graphics cards to specific countries, and then got all shaken up when their money moat was pole-vaulted by an embargo’d country wielding jank cards.
Why is this a big deal, exactly?
Who benefits if the US has the best AI, and who benefits if it’s China?
Is this like the Space Race, where it’s just an effort to spit on each other, but ultimately no one really loses, and cool shit gets made?
What does AI “supremacy” mean?
I think a bunch of ignorant politicians in the US think that’s going to be their ticket for competing with China because they refuse to invest into workers. They’re basically betting that AI would allow them to automate a lot of the jobs, and that’s how they’ll get back on top.
