Commerce secretor Gina Rondo said her department needs more funding to stop
China from getting the good silicon that Biden keeps in the windowed cabinet for
a special occasions B's not home let's go he's asleep standing up again let's
go she also took aim particularly at NVIDIA saying if you redesign a chip
around a particular cut line that enables China to do AI I'm going to
control it the very next day mister I added the mister she's probably
frustrated since after the SEC informed NVIDIA that they couldn't send their
data center card to China and Russia without a license NVIDIA started
designing several professional cards suitable for the Chinese market and then
when the consumer grade Powerhouse the RTX 490 got barred from export to China

PlayStation has announced they will be removing more than 1,300 seasons of
Discovery TV series from the PS Store even removing access from customers who
paid for those shows now I know that sounds a lot like Sony is stealing

maybe one of the reasons the original open AI board accused Alman of not being
consistently candid in his Communications with the board and kicked
him to the curb right before every open AI employee forced the board out and
brought Altman back in unfortunately we still can't know for sure the reason
because the board hasn't been consistently candid in their Communications about the decision the
closest thing we got to a hint before the rain AI bombshell was a tweet from
former board member Helen Tony which basically just reiterates the
board's original announcement about outing Altman but I mean that's what

deployment for project Kyper a direct competitor to starlink few months ago
Amazon was hit with a lawsuit from shareholders for awarding similar
