Seriously? More Bullshit With Nvidia Chips.

Right, so listen up, because I’m only explaining this once. Apparently, the US government – bless their clueless hearts – decided *after* letting Nvidia sell a boatload of H20 chips to China that these things are way too powerful for them to have. Like, duh? They’re worried about AI weapon development and all sorts of other crap they should’ve thought about before shipping the damn things overseas.

Now, Nvidia’s scrambling to get export licenses, which is a fancy way of saying “begging for permission” after already selling the stuff. They’re trying to spin it as “security concerns” and offering weaker chips instead – H800s, because apparently slightly less powerful surveillance tech is totally fine. The whole thing reeks of incompetence and political posturing. It’s a clusterfuck of regulations, national security theater, and corporate hand-wringing.

And guess who gets to deal with the fallout? Not them, obviously. Us. Expect supply chain headaches, inflated prices, and more pointless restrictions on perfectly good technology because some pencil-pushers woke up one day and decided China’s AI is a threat. It’s infuriatingly predictable.

Honestly, it’s just… *sigh*. Another mess to clean up. Don’t even get me started on the potential for black markets and grey market shenanigans this creates. Idiots.

Speaking of foresight, I once had to debug a routing issue caused by someone accidentally swapping two fiber optic cables during a “routine maintenance” window. Routine? It took down half the East Coast for three hours and involved a lot of screaming at people who clearly didn’t know which end was up. This Nvidia thing is just that, but on a global scale. Pathetic.
