    NVidia won’t lose anything. That money isn’t taken away from them, they’ll just make less profit.

    Oh well. Nvidia has given everyone but AI assholes the shaft for some time now. If you throw your fans out, don’t be surprised we remember.

    Tbh I was mystified when they announced the thing. It’s a clear attempt to end-run the spirit of the export restrictions of this sort of tech to China. I expect the legislature and courts to be pretty unsympathetic to Nvidia here.

    Nvidia and their Chinese customers had to see this coming. Wonder if they’ll also be fined for trying to circumvent the export ban?

      Well, since Nvidia has more money than god, the only definition of “fine” that applies to them is “alright”.

        That’s an odd expression

        Both for there being no god so any amount of money is more and for Christians being banned from having wealth

          It’s a common expression, especially in the US South. And what gives you the idea that Christians are banned from having wealth?
