Okay, so here’s the deal. I was reading this article—well, kind of skimming really—about NVIDIA and the Middle East. And, oh boy, was it something. First off, apparently, the AI race is like, totally shifting gears, heading towards places soaking in oil money. No joke.
Anyway, Trump—you know, the ex-prez—he’s all signing these mega deals with a bunch of countries over there like Saudi Arabia. Why? Well, they’re itching to buy these snazzy AI chips from NVIDIA. And let’s be honest, these chips are basically gold in the tech world right now. Maybe not gold-gold, but you get my point.
So here’s the wild part. NVIDIA’s boss, Jensen Huang—he’s this tech guru, a bit of a legend—tagged along with Trump during his Saudi venture. And together, they introduced some sort of state-backed outfit named HUMAIN. Sounds futuristic, right? So, HUMAIN’s throwing down billions to grab these AI chips and build massive data centers. Like, enough infrastructure to light up a city or two.
And it’s not just Saudi, turns out. The UAE is also jumping on this AI bandwagon. There’s this company, G42, that’s all gung-ho about snagging a million of these chips over the next 10 years. A million! Can you even imagine how many that is? It’s like trying to count grains of sand on a beach.
But wait, there’s a hiccup. Or is it a pickle? Whatever. Bloomberg, those brainy folks, are saying that some US bigwigs are throwing caution at Trump’s feet. The fear? Could be we’re handing over too much tech power and slipping on this banana peel of national security. Silicon slipping, if you will.
Anyway, this whole shindig’s got me wondering—is the US playing 4D chess, or are we just looking at dollar signs and hoping for the best? Strange times, I tell you. Really makes you think.
