NVIDIA CEO turns to China after US bars chip sales

[Formerly Black Trash]

True but like I always tell my dad, who makes the argument you make…he always had the money to delay. Keep judge shopping, keep appealing, keep bullshytting. All he had to do is get to the primaries. And he did.

Law 3nforcement knew he was a Russian asset tho

At that point it's fukk the law protect the country

Elon now looks pissed at the current admin as well.

It’d be crazy to see CEO’s all turn their back on America.

It really doesn’t matter when you have money and lobbies wanting that money.

These fools are finding out Republicans are idiots

I was calling it in the stock market thread:

Big Tech will be a loser this administration.

Innovation cannot overcome bad Economics (and Geopolitics). America going backwards.

There’s a reason why Warren Buffett is all cash.

The republican party is just too dam anti-American for its own good. Every fukking micro gain they claw back back then its brought back a little bit but torn into pieces. These fukking goofs don't know shyt else but to serve the "economic nobility". Trump is literally a fukking elitist, you know something they used as an insult to lampoon Obama and dems in general for years, and they can't stop sucking his dikk or Elons. Like the mf lie worst than a politican lmao.

Uh oh… if Huawei ends up developing better AI chips than NVIDIA it’s game over! The gap is clearly starting to become much narrower.

 

[ChatGPT-5]

bring back manual labor like its 1969 breh while automated AI is here. this is all going to end very well.

also, deport immigrants that would work. drill baby drill. wait there's tariffs involved and China has close ties to Venezuela so they can buy there. oops.

Perfect time to dismantle the department of education and slash the nsf budget.

China is the real superpower. This past election cemented it.

If 'moving in silence' was a country......

Trump making China Great Again

Nvidia’s flattery of Trump wins reversal of AI chip limits and a Huawei clampdown​

Obstacles threatening Nvidia’s AI chip dominance are being tactically removed.

Nvidia’s efforts to suck up to the Trump administration have seemingly paid off, with the US now lifting export limits on US-made AI chips and cracking down on anyone using Huawei’s emerging alternatives. The announcements come as Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang joined President Trump in Saudi Arabia this week to solicit AI investments for US companies.

The US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced on Monday that it has rescinded the Artificial Intelligence Diffusion Rule, due to take effect on May 15th, that aimed to restrict how many US-made AI chips could be sent to international markets without special government approval. The DOC said that a replacement rule for protecting US AI technology will be issued “in the future,” but provided no specific details.
“These new requirements would have stifled American innovation and saddled companies with burdensome new regulatory requirements,” The DOC said in a statement. “The AI Diffusion Rule also would have undermined US diplomatic relations with dozens of countries by downgrading them to second-tier status.”

While the goal was to prevent countries already subject to chip restrictions, such as Russia and China, from accessing or building AI tech, it also placed Nvidia’s estimated 90 percent share of the AI chip market in jeopardy. Shortly after the Diffusion Rule was introduced by former President Joe Biden in January, Nvidia issued a statement calling it “misguided,” while anticipating a return to Trump’s first term policies “that strengthen American leadership, bolster our economy and preserve our competitive edge in AI and beyond.”

The DOC also warned companies that using Huawei’s Ascend AI chipset “anywhere in the world” would violate US export control agreements. Huawei’s home-grown Ascend processors are seen as China’s best answer to Nvidia’s powerful AI chips.

Nvidia’s Huang was notably one of the only US tech leaders to not attend Donald Trump’s inauguration. His absence doesn’t appear to have soured the relationship between them, however, with Huang spotted cosying up to Trump at a US-Saudi investment summit in Riyadh on Tuesday, alongside other tech leaders like Elon Musk, AMD’s Lisa Su, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and Epic CEO Tim Sweeney.
The Washington Post reports that Trump was far from subtle about what the US wanted from the gathering. “As you know, we have the biggest business leaders in the world here,” he told Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. “They’re going to walk away with a lot of checks for a lot of things that you’re going to provide.”
