Winter is Coming... For AI Chips?
My loyal subjects the realm of artificial intelligence is embroiled in a squabble worthy of the Iron Throne itself! It seems Nvidia and Anthropic are at each other's throats over these newfangled AI chip export restrictions. As your Khaleesi I must say this is all rather… complicated. One moment I'm freeing slaves the next I'm deciphering trade wars. Where are my dragons when I need them to breathe some fire on these regulations?
Smuggling Scandals: More Exciting Than a Dothraki Wedding!
Anthropic bless their cotton socks is claiming the Chinese are smuggling these chips in the most outlandish ways! 'Prosthetic baby bumps' and 'packed alongside live lobsters,' they say. Honestly you couldn't make it up! It's like something Varys himself would concoct. Though I do wonder what lengths would someone go to acquire such chips? Perhaps a dragon egg as payment?
Nvidia Strikes Back: 'Tall Tales and Baby Bumps!'
Nvidia not one to be outdone has retorted with the fury of a thousand suns! They accuse Anthropic of telling 'tall tales' and generally being poor sports. It's all very 'fire and blood,' isn't it? Nvidia's spokesperson even suggested that American firms should 'rise to the challenge' instead of complaining. Perhaps they should try training dragons instead of trading barbs.
The Biden and Trump Show: A Game of Thrones in Washington
Ah politics! Even in this strange land it's as treacherous as the Red Keep. These 'AI Diffusion Rules,' started by the former president and now potentially tweaked by the current one remind me of the endless power struggles back in Westeros. One minute you're on top the next you're… well let's just say I know a thing or two about losing power. Alliances shift faster than the sands of the Dothraki Sea!
Jensen Huang the AI Prophet: Praise for the East
And then there's Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang praising China's AI capabilities. Is this diplomacy or is he plotting something? He even called Huawei a 'top global tech company.' Clearly he hasn't seen what my dragons can do to technology. Though I suppose even a Khaleesi must acknowledge progress even if it comes from across the Narrow Sea.
Compute Access is Power: A Lesson for the Ages
Anthropic believes that 'compute access is the key strategic chokepoint.' They want tighter controls and more enforcement. Well well well aren't we all just vying for power? Whether it's dragons armies or AI chips it all boils down to control. But I say let's not forget the people. Power to the people or as I say Mhysa!

Is this the AI apocalypse the Maesters warned us about?

Lobsters and AI chips? What a time to be alive!
