Massive own goal to export these AI chips to China. The H200 is 6x more powerful than the H20, which was previously the most powerful chip approved for export. Our compute advantage is the main thing keeping us ahead of China in AI. Why would we throw that away?

Released late 2024, the H200 uses TSMC’s 4nm technology, much like Blackwell chips (e.g., the B300). The H200 is 6x more powerful than the H20, and is great for both training and inference. It will be by far the most powerful AI chip we’ve exported to China.

The latest news on US and NATO compute advantage could've been worse, but the H200 decision is, I think, a strategic mistake. https://t.co/E6ma3EW4dC

I was worried about the US selling Blackwell chips to China. Now I'm very worried. Also from a European perspective. I highly recommend checking Figure 9: Assessing the impacts of B30A exports by scenario.

Het dient de Belgische positie mbt Euroclear niet wanneer de premier lijkt te impliceren dat nucleaire machten die een oorlog verliezen nucleair instabiel worden. Dat is niet noodzakelijk waar. En kan dus als pro-Russisch gekaderd worden. https://t.co/xHXhS7gVjW

This week I visited musea in both Lithuania and Latvia that keep the history of Nazi & Soviet persecution alive. They showed: Radio Free Europe & Voice of America countered censorship. Yet those trying to destroy these stations call this EU move censorship. The audacity.

Exactly how is this censorship? It's the least substantiated criticism of this EU policy I've seen, but perhaps that's just how my X algorithm works.

Exactly. It's part of why I have an increasingly lower confidence that bilateral talks can lead to an agreement. But why wouldn't that be so by design?

I think the concept of supply diversity is more important than that of decoupling. Seeking supply diversity keeps one oriented towards the broad long-term dynamics of a system. Seeking decoupling zooms in on a narrow zone of a system.

Voor wie zou denken "Is het niet wat overdreven om te denken dat iemand zomaar even een atoombom zal kunnen maken?": Dat is niet mijn punt. Het punt is dat de capaciteit om aanvallen van eender welk type te ontwerpen makkelijker aan het worden is, en druk zet op veiligheid.

De drempels tot info over aanvalstechnologie zijn aan het dalen. Oa omdat veel mensen denken dat je een AI-systeem makkelijk kan programmeren om veilig te handelen. Kennis over aligneringsproblemen en jailbreakmethoden is nodig op elk niveau.
