Sure, let’s dive into this. So, you know, with all the buzz about Trump’s Middle East drop-by — you’d think it was going to be this giant AI-palooza, right? Turns out, nah, it’s kind of stuck. Like when you’re trying to toast bread but forget to plug in the toaster. Chips aren’t really flowing in like everyone hoped.
US Worries About China Sneaking In On AI Action Through Gulf States
NVIDIA’s been on this wild ride. Used to be a Big Tech-only club, but now they’re mingling with countries. Trying to build AI playgrounds everywhere. Think of it like a new playground but for robots. Trump’s Middle East tour was supposed to pull in these mega-bucks deals with cool outfits like G42. Sounded like a sweet backup plan ’cause of their China drama. But, hang on, Reuters spilled some tea. US folks are still biting their nails over sharing fancy Nvidia goodies with places like UAE and Saudi. Yup, someone somewhere is losing sleep pondering, “Can this tech end up in China somehow?” Like when your buddy borrows a pen and suddenly everyone in class has the same one. Makes you wonder, huh?
Trump folks can’t decide — are these Middle East pals trustworthy? I mean, they’ve been buddying up with China too. Confusing partnership, right?
Nvidia’s got this big UAE thing called Stargate. No, not the sci-fi show, though that’d be awesome. We’re talking about 100,000 chips, like GB300 Blackwell clusters. Meanwhile, Saudi’s, like, "Hey, we got AI plans too!" When you’ve got oil cash… spending on these tech toys isn’t a biggie. But, they totally rely on US tech goodies — kinda puts the US in a security tizzy. No blueprint on when things will shake out.
Rumor has it, US might throw down rules. Like, “No going all China-style on our tech campuses.” Maybe even block China brainiacs from getting in on the action. But honestly, it’s early days. If Gulf states shrug off Uncle Sam’s list of ‘don’ts’, well, maybe the deals just tank.
And that’s the scene, more or less. Or maybe I missed something. Tough to say, really.
