When Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang attended a $1 million-a-head dinner at Mar-a-Lago last week, a chip known as the H20 may have been on his mind.
That’s because chip industry insiders widely expected the Trump administration to impose curbs on the H20, the most cutting-edge AI chip U.S. companies can legally sell to China, a crucial market to one of the world’s most valuable companies.
Bribe or dinner?

We are now at the point where lobbying looks like a moral option compared to this shit

We have long passed the point where lobbying and bribing were just doing your fiduciary duty.
And indeed, it seems we are back to feudalism and you have to pay tribute to the divine king and kiss his ring.

Lobbying isn’t inherently bad. There are legitimate issues for lobbying, we just have decided corporations are people, and that take precedent over people’s lives now apparently.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll believe a corporation is a person when Texas executes ones.
