  • They’re still using DUV lithography to produce those chips last I heard, which is going to increase manufacturing costs, time, and decrease capacity. And also severely limit how much they can improve until they have indigenous EUV machines. So far, only one company hasqnaged to successfully produce production ready EUV machines and it was a huge effort spanning many countries and an unbelievable amount of scientists, engineers, technicians, and many other workers. If anyone can do it, it’s China. But the scenario is very different from EVs where China already has the most advanced manufacturing technologies and a mature industry. I think it’s gonna take a few years if not decades until China achieves dominance in cutting edge semi manufacturing.








  • Right now they only do this to leftists, black people, and to some extent queer people. And nowhere near the amount they did it during the Cold war. They’re gonna expand that to libs, progressive, and probably increase their efforts against other groups.

    But the thing is, you’re right in a different way. This isn’t them exposing their plans, this is them getting ready to take a victory lap. The hard work has been done. They’ve been doing it since Nixon at least. The Democrats had plenty of opportunities to stop this, but that would’ve required them admitting something they can’t admit: that bourgeoisie democracy and capitalism don’t work. Even if some mean well as politicians, they can’t do anything truly meaningful to stop it, or else the oligarchs that run the country will retract funding and fund your opponents.
