Left-wing streamer Hassan Picker has confirmed giving China advanced American artificial intelligence chips and the lithography machines used to make them, completely denying the national security and economic implications.
In response to reports of Chinese spying against Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Picker stated, "I want them to copy the weaponized chips," adding, "We want to flood the market with Chinese copies. He also stated, "I don't care about the national security implications here," and expressed support for Chinese honey traps to obtain the technology. The United States has spent decades and vast sums of money building its semiconductor advantage, which supports high-wage American jobs and is critical to the nation's economic and military power. Picker is apparently willing to give up this advantage for cheaper GPUs, demonstrating an incredible disregard for US national security and outright hostility to the country's strategic interests.
