Nvidia has previously spoken against export controls against its chips, arguing that China could even " win the AI race " as a result of such measures and the country's favorable energy infrastructure.

MoxNix Politics. Pretty sad state of affairs at Tom's these days. Almost nothing here now other than political propoganda and product schilling. Reply
timsSOFTWARE I am happy that someone has taken up the mantle of open-weight AI development, as western AI companies have seemed to be ready to abandon it. But I also don't believe it's an altruistic move by China – they know that their domestic industry will continue to have state funding no matter what – so they are not constrained by short-term profit motives – whereas US companies speed can potentially be hampered by lack of revenue/investment if end users opt for other solutions. So – for now – they continue to make their offerings widely available, hoping that it will affect the pace of the overall race. But if they were to "win" and/or it were deemed no longer to their advantage, that would dry up quickly. Reply

Best to take the world as it is rather than pretend it is what we want it to be as reality can be a cruel teacher to those who live in denial. Reply
alan.campbell99 I must be missing something, I recall Nvidia saying things like they need to have China reliant on Nvidia, I mean, US tech to maintain US advantage and China's dependency on it. Rather than them develop their own hardware/software such that it's competitive. I dunno, it just looks like their position flips around to me. Reply
Notton There is a famous quote for that. "Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. " -Pericles This ramp up in political rhetoric touching every aspect of our lives is eerily similar to the lead up to WW1. So, by all accounts, I doubt it'll go away anytime soon, and you'll just have to live with it for the time being. And yes, Nvidia is correct in pointing out the contradiction. "Look at that scary strong dude over there, but he would be nothing without our help." sort of deal Reply
