when discussing when China could catch up to the US in the semiconductor race.

BS. Untied states are not competitive at all for a long time. They should say China is catching up with Taiwan.

And it's not a race, there's no finish line, improvements have been happening for 50 years now and can continue for decades.

NVIDIA sells GPUs to Oracle. Oracle sells GPU time to openai.

When time comes to pay the bills, openai doesn't have the money to pay Oracle who then doesn't have money to pay NVIDIA. So, Oracle gives stock to NVIDIA, and openai also gives stock to NVIDIA.

NVIDIA doesn't care if both go broke because now a gpu is worth a lot more, and in the books they're selling a lot more GPUs each for a lot more money. So NVIDIA stock goes through the roof even if they ran out of cash and got into ridiculous debt.

Shareholders have a ridiculous profit, NVIDIA directors get a massive bonus and NVIDIA CEO gets famous.

Why is it a problem? Because nobody has cash and this can't go on forever without some massive bankruptcies. I'm sceptical anyone is paying their power bills or servicing bank loans, so these may get dragged into the mud too.

I don't know what you call trust, but count me out mate.

Just because there's no option it's not meant to say I can't see the grift.

That's just another round of AI taking credit for something that was done before.

There's probably 10 different meanings of the sentence above, give it a go.

What prevents me from doing all of that with a pre existing domain that belongs to a competitor?

If you get a state sponsored actor could it overtake things by brute force?

I am imagining this distributed nature of tor is similar to crypto currencies, where if you convince a big enough part of the network that an event did happen, for all practical purposes it's as if it did happen.

Maybe that's what they though but it's not what they said.

Oh yeah if this advances fast it may be a product in 5 to 10 years.

Classified stuff the CIA does when messing around where it doesn't belong.

I agree that before it's a company selling a product it's just dreams.

However this is serious research. Skip the journo and open the nature.com link to the scientific article.

For the ones not familiar with nature, it's a highly regarded scientific magazine. Articles are written by researchers not journalists.
