The US attempt to slow down China's technological development succeeds on the basis of preventing China from directly following the same path, but may backfire in the sense it forces innovation by China in a different direction. The overall outcome for us all may be increase efficiency as a result of this forced innovation, especially if Chinese companies continue to open source their advances, so we may in the end have reason to thank the US for their civilisational gate keeping

I want China to release GPUs with a ton of VRAM, 128gb - 256gb. It doesn’t matter if they are half as fast as Nvidia because having a big model at a reasonable speed is better than not being to run them at all. AMD could have done this and have had a massive impact on nvidia’s market share but they choose not to because reasons.
