    1. Oh cool, so we’re giving away all our hardware that we’ve been withholding for years to keep our competitors behind, and slapping tariffs on the imports that we’ll need now because the orange moron doesn’t understand supply and demand.

      This is how we lose the AI race. Oh well, maybe it’s time for a more competent country to be #1.

    2. “tariffs will be narrowly focused and will not apply to chips and derivative devices imported for U.S. data centers – a huge consumer of AI chips – startups, non-data center consumer applications, non-data center civil industrial applications and U.S. public sector applications.”

      So who do they apply to?  Gamers?  Or is that a “consumer application”.
