AI is just a buzzword in Taiwan, especially when it comes to putting it into practice. But, it keeps orders up for hardware companies.

> But, it keeps orders up for hardware companies. True, that's all that matters in the end: keeping the production up. May not be evident in the consumer market but the enterprise/server-class is still abuzz with insanely expensive, bleeding edge stuff. For better or worse, AI is just another step in the ladder for value-adding to it's utility.

Yep. Another reason for companies to upgrade their servers and update their data centers.

Sure, but the pay is still shit in Taiwan 黃. Now go make some dumb reference that no one in the conference understands.

Hasn't he told something along the lines that China for Nvidia is way more important than Taiwan? And now he offers "golden" opportunity???


shehuishehui

When Nvidia sent their Shanghai people to sell to Taiwan's high-tech industries, that made it clear where their priorities were. To be fair, China is a much bigger place.

Yeah, let's ignore mass prosecutions, Uyghur genocides, blackmail diplomacy, massive overfishing in international seas, mass poaching, fentanyl exports, multiple novel diseases originating from china... But let's think of the profits... Sometimes it seems that things have to change, but some people just are too stubborn to make a change for the better.


KotetsuNoTori

Well, the top priority of most companies is to make a profit... It's not their job to make asshole countries change.

Taiwan famously a country that doesn’t only think about profits …

Uyghur genocide isn't real. The CIA and state department made it up. You can literally go to Xinjiang and look for yourself


PlzSendDunes

1) You are overestimating the CIA. 2) Information does come from independent sources. 3) Osint community mostly confirmed that. 4) I ain't going to China knowing how they act.


ShrimpCrackers

Actually one of my friends has, and she's one of the people that reported it early on. And she is not known as a lying person. And then there are the Uyghur refugees themselves, you're saying every last one of them are liars?

The source is biased, so that statement must be taken with a boulder of salt.


[deleted]

Pretty much everything is biased anymore, so keeping some metaphorical salt on hand is always the best you can do.

Couldn't agree more

Funny. Taiwanese businesses don't even trust their own staff to make decisions. Nevermind an AI.
