Good morning, especially to the folks at the Atlantic, who ran on Friday the blunt declaration: “RIP American Tech Dominance.”
Author Rogé Karma’s argument: U.S. AI supremacy is wholly a credit to a “monopoly on advanced computer chips,” and Trump’s recent willingness to put capitalism over country by allowing the sale in China of Nvidia H200 AI chips—the company’s second-best chip, yes, but 6X more powerful than the already-available H20—“could shrink that gap to almost nothing.”
Fair point or weak tea, given Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s own perspective that tight chip restrictions will only embolden China to build up its own industry at the expense of American suppliers? Drop me a line and make your case.
