I have to ask… beyond the dramatic headline, what’s the big deal?
China is doing their own thing with LLM ASICs. They have been, for some time.
Basically all of Nvidia’s internal documentation could be leaked, and… nothing would really change, as they still have a gigantic software and silicon moat where they are applicable.
Security could be an issue for (say) running Nvidia hardware at the DoD, but they should be protected by more layers anyway?
There’s the implication that the CCP blackmailed this woman, but that’s not exactly unexpected. They have a long history of controlling overseas citizens, as do other countries. Obviously Jensen shouldn’t have done this, but his romantic life is his personal business.
So what, specifically, is everyone so worried about?
