That's why I think that this as attempt by the CCP to protect local industries.

I am assuming that if H20 becomes openly available in China, local enterprise GPUs will find it difficult to compete.

There is definitely a lot of truth in this.

If gamers were more critical about with their purchases, we would have a very different gaming industry.

But CCP authorities claimed that:

It said US AI experts had “revealed that Nvidia’s computing chips have location tracking and can remotely shut down the technology.”

Which experts? Considering the CCP claims its American experts, there shouldn't be an issue with linking the research.

I didn't say they are wrong. :) I said they have bad taste.

It's not wrong to have bad taste.

Scaling down is definitely not an option.

If Intel's foundry gets shut down, this will also be very bad for consumers.

The CAC did not specify which experts had found a back door in Nvidia’s products or whether any tests in China had uncovered the same results. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

If you're going to make such a claim, you have to provide details.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the CCP's method for protecting the growth and development of local alternatives.

If the focus was on more competitive markets (in the real sense, not PR) and we had less corruption, Nintendo copyrights would already begin to expire.

This way Nintendo could make it's own game and it's own console and others could try out their own concepts.

Nintendo was never really a thing where I live (other than late NES clones and occasional Gameboys back in the day).

With Nintendo's uncompetitive pricing policy and focus on rehashing the same properties, it's doubtful Nintendo will ever be a thing in our region,

Beyond fanboys, I believe children is also a massive market for Nintendo.

You're not going to lecture your child for shit taste and chance are you are more likely to ignore the price issue (if you can afford) if you want to buy something for your kids.

I was curious what the pitch, it's relatively typical US-style tech megcorp gibberish, perhaps even more meaningless than usual.

"If trends continue, then you’d expect people to spend less time in productivity software, and more time creating and connecting. Personal superintelligence that knows us deeply, understands our goals, and can help us achieve them will be by far the most useful.”

I wonder if deep down in Zuckerberg's mind there is a lonely, subconscious thought that if (when) there is such a massive economic disruption, there could be other outcomes, then using genAI to make custom emoji/gifs or whatever.

The last time we had such a major disruption, industrialization, we had the truely radical (for the time) global revolutionary movements, fascism, WW1/WW2, collapse of centuries old monarchies, national independence movements, decolonisation, the great depression and so on...

On the other hand it's good that American criminal leadership ignores history, hubris and absolute corruption is always the first stage in the collapse of dominant regimes.

A plague o' both your houses!

However, in recent statements, Amodei has reiterated that the company has a model that allows for everyone to win with AI.

I wonder if Amodei genuinely believes this or he is parroting company PR copytext ..

While I think the vast majority of corporate executives are malicious and dishonest (lets not forget that life isn't a Hollywood movie with Darth Vader's boss shouting "Let's do evil!!!"), I am sure that there is a big helping of self-beneficial delusion.

Unless someone with experience in such contracts is using Lemmy (and reading this community), we can only speculate. :)
