So go check it out.
There's a link in the description.
All right.
Let's get into what Dario Amadeo said.
So I think just as a little bit of a backup and a background on this.
Last week, the Trump administration formally approved the sale of Nvidia's H200 chips.
And this is interesting because they had kind of previously walked back an earlier restriction saying,
They also approved some comparable AMD line chips, and all of these are going to be approved to sell to China.
So they're not going to be the most cutting-edge processors that NVIDIA or AMD make, but they are really powerful chips.
And what's really interesting is apparently...
And Dario Amadeo, the CEO of Anthropic, has been setting off alarm bells.
And he recently on Tuesday at Davos made a whole bunch of public comments about this where he said he was very concerned.
So he was speaking at the World Economic Forum and he was criticizing both the Trump administration and NVIDIA.
for backing this move and basically being very supportive of it.
I think this was kind of interesting because there was a lot of different forces.
One of those is that NVIDIA, it's not just the supplier of Anthropic, they're also one of the largest partners and investors in Anthropic.
So it's interesting to see Anthropic criticizing its partner and investor.
Now, this isn't the first time that Dario has criticized one of his investors.
He also is famous for criticizing both Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, who are investors in his last round of funding.
He said that he was not thrilled that he had to take money from them, and he specifically had a quote that went viral.
