NVIDIA says it can resume selling key AI chips to China

Yesterday, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang dismissed concerns that China's
military would use the company's chips to develop AI. "They don't need
NVIDIA's chips, certainly, or American tech stacks in order to build
their military," he said, adding that it would be foolish of them to
do so because "they simply can't rely on it." Huang has previously
said that NVIDIA export bans didn't stop China from developing AI and
allowed its competitors, especially Huawei, to gain ground on US
technology.

When David Fajgenbaum was a twenty-five-year-old medical student, at
the University of Pennsylvania, he started to feel so tired that he
could barely stand. Fajgenbaum, a former college quarterback, could
still bench-press three hundred and seventy-five pounds; he was known
for doing pullups on a tree near his workplace. But now he was
desperately ill. The lymph nodes in his groin and neck swelled. Small
red dotsblood molesemerged on his chest, and he woke up soaked in
sweat. One day, at the hospital where he was doing his rotation, he
stumbled down the hall into the emergency room, and doctors told him
that his liver, bone marrow, and kidneys were failing. Fluid had
leaked out of his blood vessels, into his abdomen and around his
heart; bleeding in his retina temporarily blinded him in his left eye.
Fajgenbaum was admitted to the I.C.U. and given enormous doses of
steroids to try to quell runaway inflammation. It took him a month to
recover enough to leave the hospital.

One area of seeming bipartisan consensus in America over the past

joined by more mainstream progressives like the folks at the Hewlett
Foundation. On the right, thanks to Trump, tariffs and immigration
restriction have overthrown free trade as the reigning orthodoxy. And
the GOP in general seems to want to put their thumb on the scale for
