I think all can be true at once, this is an administration staffed by extractative people, Alice Huang wasn't hiding the affair's meetcutes on her public Wechat, Megaspeed is forwarding the GPU's to mainland Chinese buyers just like everyone else, the US export control ban is the law, the law is dumb and ineffective and creates the opportunities

I’m not intimately familiar with all the specifics here but your take seems reasonable and metered to me. Obviously people shouldn’t take everything they read as fact but it doesn’t appear any grand claims are being made.

She is more like a ttpical opportunists. The spy thing just not fitting. A matahari usually low profile and has a value target. Jensen simply dont carried GPU blueprint in his jackets. It makes more sense to have spy as employee to siphon data out (which were common problem back couple years ago - which those that caught were just a few). Being spy and openly tell everyone is just stupid....more like what CIA would do but unlikely a Chinese spy. You can ask Taiwanese how good Chinese spies in the old days. And the best part, check who started the spy rumor. It is a hit job .

		Do you think they infiltrated Jensens phone or laptop?

You're going to need to explain why you think the law is dumb and ineffective.

Or at least dumb, we know it's ineffective because the people in charge are comically corrupt, and we have a new and deeply established culture of complete impunity for elites.

But you'll have to justify your response on policy grounds to be taken seriously.

		the export ban is both reactionary to the idea of a superintelligence arms race, and retroactively rationalized as letting preferred nations and customers get these chips in the supply crunch these goals have failed as China's frontier labs closed the inference gap to just a few months or weeks of what the US frontier labs have released there is also an extremely high degree of utility as all the best open weight models across almost all modalities are from China and released for free, downloabable, portable, for commercial and non-commercial use alike as the chips are highly liquid commodities, they are an extension of global capital, capital will flow and capital controls merely introduce intermediaries and additional cost in my view, the spice must flow trying to put China in a cage has resulted in accelerating their supply chain growth, EUV machine development that will make them immune from inevitable sanctions if they pursued their regional geopolitical aims, building at parity multi modal models with less compute, and so more much beyond what 2022's initial bans in the Biden administration could even imagine these AI would be used for, the Trump administrations continuation and partial more surgical expansion is within an established conduit for intermediaries to extract value from participants
