the irony is that all of this is an unintended consequence of the restrictions imposed on china. anyone that knows anything about the history of computer science knows the greatest developments in the field were made in the 60's and 70's when memory and computing power were extremely scarce. engineers had no other way to develop except to carefully consider every instruction and its consequences, every computing cycle must be made to work. they developed c and unix who are still the gold standard today. ever since, we've only produced bs that a monkey could write because of abundance of memory and computing power. there's no need to think. they can't have nvidia gpus, so they had to go about it without them, and somehow figured it out. while the americans only go-to solution is increasing the size of the data centers and the number of gpus. 500 billions and we'll catch up, said trump recently. had biden/trump let them be and not worry about them having access to the best chips, they would probably still be stuck in the same stage as the americans, still trying to brute force the problem. brute force vs actual thinking, it's well known that in the end, the "actual thinking" solution always wins.
