Dylan Patel & Jon (Asianometry) โ€“ How the Semiconductor Industry Actually Works

I would basically, like, this is totally off cycle, but like, this is off the reservation, but like, I was doing a video about Yugoslavia's nuclear program.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Dylan Patel & Jon (Asianometry) โ€“ How the Semiconductor Industry Actually Works

nuclear weapons program started absolutely nothing one guy from Paris and then one guy in Paris he showed up and he was like and then he had who knows what he did he knows a little bit about making atomic nuclear weapons but like he was like okay well do I need help and then the state's secret police is like I would get to everything and then like I shouldn't do that I was getting you everything and for like a span of four years

What do you need?

And I think like back in the 2000s prior to TS before SMIC got big, it was actually much more kind of open, more flat.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Dylan Patel & Jon (Asianometry) โ€“ How the Semiconductor Industry Actually Works

I think after that, there was like after the Among Song and after all the Samsung issues and after all the SMIC's rise, when you literally saw...
