News China raises security concerns over Nvidia's H20 Chips — hardware may expose user data or hidden tracking functions

[Admin]

China has raised security concerns over Nvidia’s H20 GPU shortly after a U.S. export ban was lifted, signaling potential political pushback against American hardware.

Why does the Chinese want to buy trogen laden chips?

Why does the Chinese want to buy trogen laden chips?

Because they're better than the home made trojan laden chips.

"China's concerns stem from fears that the hardware might expose user data or contain hidden tracking functions."

Awfully rich coming from the Chinese, who actively expose and steal user data on the daily.

Would be absolutely hilarious if China bans Nvidia GPUs for "national security reason" lmao.

Anyone would rather die with home made trojan laden chips.

Only outperformed by the NSA, CIA and FBI

Would be wonderful for the local companies.

Likely a tarriff would make sense to even the playing field and fund the Chinese semiconductor industry at the same time.

At this point, China might as well continue to switch all the software away from CUDA based. They already have the AI GPU although may not be the best but still very capable. Some of the latest GPU looks interesting & hope the non server GPU versions are available at reasonable cost as they will be a hit for lower cost gaming rigs.

No vendor can rightfully go against their own executive.

When vendors are forced by their government (and that applies to any level of locality) to add a backdor to their IoT devices (yeah, you wouldn't immediately classify your GPUs as such, but it's a broad species), the only alternative may well be prison. And likewise, they'll have to keep quiet about them or lie outright. Again, unless you manage to secede into your own corporate metaverse (as big tech is trying to do), you just don't have much of a choice.

And likewise you'll have to conform to the executive whereever you sell your products or offer your services: it's the law!

There is ultimately no escape nor does there seem to be much work going on to resolve it. The current approach, to force everyone into accepting big tech's private converged powers metaverse, has very little chance of a long-term success, especially since digitalization will broaden both the scope of interactions and the conflicts.

The only direction I've been able to think of over the last few years, is that the Internet and the IoT devices on it need to reflect the spatiality of the social codes on the ground via a digital twin, where whatever norms the ground sovereign has enacted, are executed in matching enclaves.

It's a giant undertaking, technically probably not as difficult, because most ingredients seem to exist.

But the reguation and the functional design doesn't even seem to have started, and perhaps this big stone will hurt enough to get things rolling, because those cheap IoT devices or the so called social networks haven't created enough pain, because nobody really needed them anyway.

For the leader!
