to the Middle East, in this case, to the Emirates, which I don't really understand fully how this works. I sort of understand in principle how it works. I don't know anything about AI to speak of. But yeah, we had these export restrictions on these chips because they're very sensitive and powerful. We didn't want them getting to the wrong hands. The wrong hands could be.

Different people hanging around in the Emirates. It could also be China with whom the UAE has a close relationship. This is bipartisan. China hawks in both parties and people concerned about AI and how it could be misused in both parties. UAE is a pretty totalitarian place. They use a lot of facial recognition technology and stuff.

Presumably they've gotten that from the Chinese, but it shows how close the relationship is with the Chinese. And so suddenly, Trump is basically, Tom takes this very seriously that, you know, AI stuff, which is very sensitive and, you know, has can have pretty dire effects if put in the wrong hands already, maybe already too much in the wrong hands with China.

But we're just making it infinitely easier with this deal he's made with the UAE.

Yeah, it's interesting. China had a statement out this morning that was on this exact point, on essentially these AI chip exports. Yeah, so basically they said that the U.S. seriously undermined consensus reached at the Geneva talks with these conversations. So I guess the broader point is, who the hell knows what machinations are happening behind the scenes between these big tech oligarchs.
