I’m surprised the chip wasn’t sold on the black market before the missile was assembled.

Miss when Nvidea was only used to run Call of Duty, not in REAL life.

Guess it's more profitable now. That's ok. Completely ok. Not a single issue with it. None. 0 (zero). War isn't definitely a racket.

This is what AI is for, war and surveillance. Your "personal assistant" is just an electronic monitor on humanity.

An analysis by Ukraine’s National Agency for Corruption Prevention found 2,797 foreign components in Russian weapons, and 72% of those had their origins in the U.S.

That was in 2024 I don't think anything changed. They just import it from any BRICS country.

Also, I should note that while they currently depend on Western-branded components made in Taiwan (to get lots of processing power), the same can be done (if you find a good enough coder) with far less operations per second... in which case they have supply from the PRC. Fortunately this hasn't happened yet.

"Monochrome" seems somewhat of a hybrid between a cruise missile and a killer robot. It's a cruise missile which evaluates things it sees, and decides which target is worth attacking. What instructions it gets before launch, hasn't been disclosed so far, but everything suggests those are fairly abstract instructions.

So if it was intel or amd... what then? Is nvidia supposed to do what?

Not sure what this is meant to be about. Nvidia isn't selling these chips directly to them, are they?
