Even if they did that, there's a lot of talented engineers in China. It would take them no time to bypass that I'm sure.

But they’re made in China?
Very James Bond, I like it.
And then the cool twist where the bad guys figure out how to exploit it and uno reverse all the good guys computers. Man, that would be a fun movie. I'm glad we're not talking about real life or whatever.
US and their f*cking stupid politicians
Listen here pal, it's a lot more than just our politicians that are stupid.
US approves of Israeli operation to turn electronics into bombs, so even with the golden pager gift, this politician just hasn't gotten the ultimate inspiration for manifest destiny thinking.
I can't believe it the government is stealing my ideas from a dystopian future setting I'm writing
Can you uhh put some good stuff in it for us common folks please
Sorry fam only suffering idk what to tell you
It's what the market wants!
What it CRAVES
Absolutely not. Keep your tracking devices out of our products. If you want to shove a fucking GPS up your ass and give it to the government that's your choice, but you can fuck right off with selling more tracking services tied to hardware to the population who has no say.
I wouldn’t trust any administration with this ability, but especially not the current one.
The man is a Democrat, a physicist and non-religious. Most have been in politics too long to come up with this dumb idea.
Never trust a physicist
Never trust a physicist on software. We have a special term at work, "Scientific Python". When we say it to a physicist, they wear the hat proudly, but what we mean is "incomprehensible garbage that breaks as soon as you give it any input other than the one thing they tested it with". If they want you to maintain it, the first step is to ask them to run it, look at whatever plot it generates, and write something from scratch that produces the same plot.
Yeah, they don't even trust themselves!
Also just looking for falsification...
“(or if someone we don’t like is using them)”
So then what happens when someone spoofs a GPS signal outside your AI datacenter? ... I think I like this idea.
How would something like that even work? Create a driver that phones home is somehow able to figure out the location of the computer by some method that is not easily defeated with a VPN? Even a GPS chip on the cards won't work in a datacenter rack
It's perfectly simple really. They'll add a small AI module designed to detect Chinese language being spoken, levels of air pollution, and the scent of Chinese food, which will detonate an appropriately-sized self-destruct charge when a certain threshold is reached.
Nvidia products are just the start. Cars, sneakers, Coca-Cola — eventually every consumer product made in the USA will come with one. They're just working out how to stop them accidentally detonating in certain parts of San Francisco and New York.
They already managed to brick the defence industry. So now IT is next.
This would be part of the defence industry
