There is a competition in the market share for AI chips and R&D money. Including with China.

By the way, do we actually know if Alice Huang is actually Chinese spy, or just merely sees good money in reselling NVIDIA chips to them? Because you don't really need to be the former to do the latter.

> He should be thankful he's not in prison. Even without the spy and affair scandals, his lobbying to sell chips to China is treasonous due to how geopolitically critical AI will soon become. (That alone is not criminally treasonous,

He should be thankful he's not jailed for advocating something which is not even declared illegal yet? Is that the famous "rule of the law" I heard so much about?

> Is that the famous "rule of the law" I heard so much about?

We're in the find-out phase of the merger of the corporation and the state, where everything is permitted as long as you send some considerations to the dear leader...

Until it's not. :)

> Is that the famous "rule of the law" I heard so much about?

Yes, the famous "rule for thee, not for me".

The jail part is assuming the woman is in fact a spy and did in fact influence him to do this. Neither are proven.

The other part is me subjectively calling him treasonous, unrelatedly; not in a criminal way.

I should've said "depending on the results of the investigation, he may end up just being thankful he won't get a prison sentence". (Or maybe he will get a prison sentence, depending on what the investigation finds. We'll see.)

The 1st Amendment has something to say here.
