wussupi83 Im not saying Jensen is wrong. But he stands to make so much money from selling to China that it's hard to ignore that massive conflict of interest hanging over his head. Reply
Jabberwocky79 I actually think The 'ol Jacket has a point, but I can definitely see both sides of the argument. And when your argument is 'They're gonna do it anyway, so we might as well make money on it,' that's not a very high ground to take, morally-speaking. Jensen is Chinese, is he not? Any chance that his defensiveness could be, even slightly, due to feeling his culture is being discriminated? – Just a thought Reply

Sure China claims Taiwan but Taiwan doesn’t consider themselves part of China. The funny part comes in when you realize Taiwan’s official name is Republic of China lol. Reply
Notton Jensen is from Taiwan, according to wikipedia. His success is part luck, riding off of crypto, NFT, and AI booms, but he's also good at marketing his products. Unlike AMD, instead of adding a bunch of XXXXXs and copying other people's naming schemes, Nvidia makes a concerted effort to keep their products in the news cycle, as well as working with devs behind the scenes so games and apps work smoothly. Playing both sides is just something businessmen do naturally. You can google which companies worked with both sides during WW2 and the cold war, and you'll see it's not exactly a rare occurrence. Coca-Cola and Fanta, for example. Not to be a Ferengi or anything, but go look up the Rules of Acquisition. It makes perfect sense when you change your perspective. Reply
Arkitekt78 This guy is a massive clown. His nonsense antics make me laugh almost every day. Reply

The island known as taiwan was always part of china and infact they actually call them selves the real china and claim all of mainland, meanwhile the nainland does the same. This divide was intentionally put there by the withdrawing British rule, as they have done all over the globe to sow long standing conflict in regions they previously ruled. Reply
Trake_17 I stopped trusting what this dude had to say when it became apparent that Ray Tracing was just a marketing gimmick to con people into subsidizing AI hardware development. Reply
usertests I agree with the idea that restricting sales to China is pointless and counterproductive. It's especially true if you believe the AI stuff is overrated and overvalued. At this point though, it may be too late. Reply

I know multiple Taiwanese people. They would say you’re full of crap. While Taiwan’s official name is technically still Republic of China, they don’t want to be associated with China at all or the reputation China has built. They definitely don’t claim that Taiwan is the “real China”. They’re actually all in on Taiwan being some sort of tech utopia where in the future Taiwanese people want have to do manual labor at all. I asked one of my workmates who would build their buildings and work in restaurants etc and he claimed that poor Chinese people from out in the country would be willing to defect to Taiwan to do their dirty work in exchange for a fast path to citizenship. Once I pointed out that still meant Taiwanese citizens doing manual labor, he just kind of shut down on the topic and changed the subject lol. Reply
Zaranthos The guy wants to make more money, it's as simple as that. I would think to some degree he would have a little more trepidation of China winning the AI race considering his Taiwan and USA roots. Do I think banning China from getting Nvidia chips helps or even works, no because China gets them anyway despite their two-faced posturing about not wanting or needing them. On the one hand China wants to promote their own tech and claim they don't want or need foreign tech, on the other hand they smuggle it in because they know they can't win without it. Kind of absurdly entertaining to watch really. Reply
