NVIDIA Statement on the Biden Administration’s Misguided ‘AI Diffusion’ Rule

Wow. Did not expect such strong language in an official statement from a publicly traded company.

That global progress is now in jeopardy. The Biden Administration now seeks to restrict access to mainstream computing applications with its unprecedented and misguided “AI Diffusion” rule, which threatens to derail innovation and economic growth worldwide.

While cloaked in the guise of an “anti-China” measure, these rules would do nothing to enhance U.S. security. The new rules would control technology worldwide, including technology that is already widely available in mainstream gaming PCs and consumer hardware. Rather than mitigate any threat, the new Biden rules would only weaken America’s global competitiveness, undermining the innovation that has kept the U.S. ahead.

I can't say that I disagree. This really is one of the most demented policies of the whole Biden administration. Even from the POV of an imperialist, restricting half of NATO from one of your top exports makes zero sense...

It has been widely speculated whether Trump's administration will be a lunatics clown show that has no concept of foreign policy or regular bloodthirsty neocons itching to start war on every continent.

Does the sudden uptick in support for Ukraine mean that the state have no trust in Trump and are trying to wrap things up before he comes?

I apologise for the LIB comment in advance, but the absolute political shitshow we have witnessed in Europe over the past few years has given me a weird appreciation of Angela Merkel.

She managed to keep US influence relatively at bay, maintained good economic relations with Russia and China, knew how to throw a bone to the various anti-EU factions within Europe to keep them from gaining influence, annoyed the Brits to the point they left the union and obviously maintained the EU's imperialist projects while keeping their image and her legacy clean. Compared to her the Macron-Scholz-von der Leyen trio look like dumb, dumber, and the the dumbest. IMO she beats Obama for most competent imperialist of the past few decades.

france-cool elections are happening today. Does anyone have some knowledge how things are looking?

  • As far as I see the far-right are winning the election, but not with enough votes to gain a majority so they will need to form a coalition with someone else.
  • The leftist big tent party are polling as solid second. Mélenchon is cool and based, but I'm wondering how many positions did he have to concede to form the party?
  • Macron's party is eating shit lol Why would you call snap elections at your party's weakest point in history??? Probably the biggest unforced error in politics since Biden agreeing to a live debate (so since yesterday I guess? God liberals are dumb)

Biden administration signals it will support push to hit ICC with sanctions

Okay this is getting ridiculous lol. I understand the geopolitical reason the US supports Isreal is that it needs a vassal state to exert military influence on the Middle East / North Africa and prevent any attempts of decolonisation. But at this point maintain the state of Israel is costing them the entirety of their soft power in every other region in the world.

Let's not forget that a massive chunk of America's power(especially in Europe and East Asia) comes from people liking them. Otherwise no one will agree to hosting tens of thousands of their troops in their own country. This is also why the US invests such a large amount on cultural exports like Hollywood movies.

So I missing something in my analysis? Surely the Middle East can't be more important than Europe and Asia? Or is the American political class so demented they can no longer make rational decisions even in the interests of the bourgeoise?
