We'll know if he's successful because Trump will start wearing leather jackets.

Two things probably:

Don't tariff our chips

Deepseek bad, pls ban

You forgot the 1 million dollar ~~bribe~~ donation

Idk. Doesn't Deepseek motivate a lot of other companies to try to do something similar? They might end up selling more

[–] Bosht 7 points 18 hours ago

Yes, competition is good, but these ball garglers only want to make competition illegal so they can capitalize on monopoly.

You have a point, nvidia did make the 4090D which was a slightly cut-down 4090 to get over the sanctions and continue selling to china.

The separation of corporation and state is as important as church and state. This flaw has never been exploited so severely, but a failure of any truly patriot legislators to see the importance of quickly working to build systematic protections against this is unforgivable.

Tbh i would consider economics a cult. When you start caring about fractions of fractions of your smallest unit of currency, there's something wrong

“How can we prevent deepseek from being adopted bc of the free market and such”

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 day ago (2 children)

imagine being as smart as jensen huang and having to talk to a big orange baby....

trump's circle is generally sycophantic morons like musk and zuck. jensen might actually be the smartest person trump has ever talked to

Homie just released the most underpowered GPU configurations we have ever seen. I'd say he's just like the lot of them.

sure nvidia is being a shitty and greedy public corp capitalizing on a massive tech bubble... stock price has to go up forever. nothing surprising here....

but jensen huang has been at the helm of nvidia for ~~a long time~~ the entire existence of nvidia and is undeniably a smart MF'er.... and i'm not even some kind of nvidia fanboy.

AMD for life... and dr. lisa su is even smarter than cousin jensen. i just hope she doesn't come out as a trump bootlicker as well

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

As a linux guy i've been putting my money on AMD, but we have to be realistic. If AMD's board/investors demand Lisa suck the orange oaf's dick, she'll be on her knees before him.

They said smart, not a good person.

I hate it, but that's what happens without competition.

[–] Sanctus 10 points 1 day ago

IMO the only smart capitalist is Gabe. His consumers would murder for him. But Nvidia just needs someone with comparable and cheaper GPUs to come along and their toast. Thats why they captured the market and then locked their shit up after everyone was using it and designing for it.

The average iq in that room would be incredible if it wasn't for Trump.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

only one of those two is stable genius!

[–] yesman 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Y'all think the Tariffs on TSMC will come up?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago

100%, nvidia doesnt have its own fabs, and I dont think anyone wants to use intels fabs for gpus, as it would have been a regression in performance. if the tariffs last for Trumps entire presidency, pricing for nvidia products,. especially since they have huge interest in breaking into the mainstream arm audience down the line, is in danger.

JFC...

Please daddy Trump what can you do to stop Chinese AI progress from making me less filthy rich?! It's a disgrace to be less filthy rich!

[–] iopq 5 points 21 hours ago

Jensen doesn't care, people are buying 5090s to run deepseek locally on them

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

There's a reason why AMD is superior.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Shit must be bad.

How're Chinese GPU/AI chip designs coming along?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

the problem most competitors that arent nvidia is that they do not have the devloper ecosystem that N idia has entrenched. even the recently released deep seek ai, still fundamentally uses nvidia based code.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Daddy Trump please stop the bad chinaman, stop hurting me stock price!!!!!!
