I can’t get the chip so it doesn’t matter to me.
This comment sums up Americans in a nutshell 
you dont feel any schadenfreude at seeing amerikkkan chauvinists cope at china's rapid advancements? i certainly do
My schadenfreude can’t do 120fps or hallucinate keir starmer with cow udders. I need the chippss
Calling it now,. In not too distant future, Americans are going to be smuggling advanced chips from China through Mexico.
Envidia Chips! Hecho en Mexico.
Allegedly!
the cope in articles like this (ive also seen it from r*dditors in a couple of threads where someone brought this up) that china is still "struggling" to catch up after "years" of development is quite funny to me. like, yall were saying restricting these AI chips was going to fucking cripple china for potentially decades unless they bent the knee to the US. now you're just saying shit like "NVIDA STILL NUMBAH 1 BABY WE DA BEST IN THE WOOOORLD CHINA STILL HASNT FULLY CAUGHT UP AFTER YEARS LOL LMAO" and it's just like... these export restrictions started in 2022? now, i know china didnt actually start developing their own gpus and such when these export restrictions happened, there's been many years of research and development beforehand of course, but like you can see that there's been explosive growth in this area since these started and you're already having to cope that they've "struggled for years"??? just give it up man you're fucking cooked, maybe if you lift export restrictions you can extend nvida's time as company that makes the most powerful GPUS in the world for some time but at this point i dont think there's actually any stopping companies like Huwaei anymore, stop coping with shit like this and start trying to make real analysis on when the gap that's left will close.
of course.. no one would dare admit that the only thing the US ever does is shoot itself in the foot and blame everyone else for its problems
