Yeah

If the US government wasn’t a clown show they’d have stepped in on openAI buying 40% of silicon wafers with no profitability. 

Just like that time a guy decided to buy all the oil futures or whatever. 

China now has advanced chips and they’re about to get their supply lines paid for by Western companies, while also making it impossible for Western companies to compete again.

Would the US government even allow them to purchase Chinese chips?
