It's China, they're subsidized and they have to build something. Even if it's empty or otherwise represents overcapacity. Of course the people who built these datacentres may eventually lease the space to companies that will be forced to use domestically-produced hardware that no one wants to use (they'd rather have NV H200s or . . . whatever else). It's just how they do things, at least for now.

He ain't entirely wrong, in that environmentalist groups wouldn't dare set foot in China. They wouldn't last long over there.

Sure, want an H200?

Yes.

The Obamacare tax wasn't a tax either, until it was.

What's funny is that Chainalysis probably can't include Monero activity in their report . . .

Read the actual Chainalysis report cited in the summary. Then get back to us. Here's a hint: money laundering accounts for less than 1% of all blockchain activity.

IF this tech spreads? What makes you think it hasn't already?

ChemE and/or MSE are potential first steps into the wild world of semiconductor fabrication.

That's . . . not entirely true. AI researchers are some of the most highly-sought-after professionals on the market today. Do they have degrees in "AI"? Probably not, since these degrees are fairly novel and it remains to be seen how well universities can train to meet the needs of companies hiring for AI research today. That being said, there's the distinct possibility that "AI degrees" may be mostly fluff.

Can he tariff California? (answer: no)

That can certainly change . . .

Having read the article, it seems like picking human rights certainly is an option! Especially given how those products of abuses are under heavy scrutiny and risk near-future bans.

Chemical Engineering/MSE will be much more valuable for those that can hack it.

That's very expensive insurance.
