😂😂😂😂 Years of lies and diceptions empire of lies 😂😂

An excellent talk and Chris quoted that "The weapon factories in thirty years time will be data centres" and this is so insightful with profound implications. Chris was struggling to find an innovation curve that beat Moore's Law. I argue in the following talk that there is an example of more rapid innovation in the following talk "Introduction to Moore's Law on Open Source steroids" th-cam.com/video/H0gg_biZoMs/w-d-xo.html

**Summary of Key Highlights:** 1. **Introduction and Context:** - **Speaker and Book Introduction:** Chris Miller, author of *Chip War*, explores the geopolitics, economics, and technology that underpin the semiconductor industry. The book focuses on the global competition for control over semiconductor technology. - **Background:** Miller began studying the role of computing power in military competition during the Cold War, particularly how the U.S. gained a technological edge over the Soviet Union. 2. **Semiconductors and Military Technology:** - **Historical Gap Between U.S. and Soviet Union:** The Soviet Union recognized the importance of computing in military advancements but couldn't match the U.S. due to production challenges, despite having smart physicists and substantial defense budgets. - **Current Geopolitical Landscape:** The struggle for technological dominance continues today, especially between the U.S. and China. Semiconductors remain crucial for military applications and economic security. 3. **Global Semiconductor Supply Chain:** - **Concentration and Vulnerabilities:** The global semiconductor supply chain is highly concentrated. Taiwan's TSMC produces 90% of the world's most advanced processor chips, while Dutch firm ASML dominates the extreme ultraviolet lithography machine market. This concentration poses significant risks in the event of geopolitical instability. - **U.S.-Led Internationalization:** The U.S. government has historically worked to bind key allies and partners (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan) into the semiconductor supply chain for strategic and economic reasons. 4. **China’s Industrial Policy and U.S. Response:** - **China’s Ambitions:** In 2014, China launched major initiatives to reduce dependence on imported semiconductors. The government poured billions into domestic semiconductor production but continues to lag behind global leaders. - **U.S. Strategy:** The U.S. implemented the CHIPS Act to boost domestic production and R&D while restricting Chinese access to key technologies. Export controls target both software and machinery tools required for advanced chip manufacturing. 5. **Future Risks and Military Implications:** - **Supply Chain Risks:** Disruption in Taiwan could paralyze global electronics manufacturing, affecting smartphones, PCs, cars, and more. Military systems, increasingly reliant on computing power, could also be affected. - **China-U.S. Competition:** China is trying to catch up technologically, but exponential progress in semiconductors remains challenging. The U.S. aims to widen the technology gap to maintain its advantage, particularly in AI and military systems. 6. **Industry Structure and Innovation:** - **Oligopolies and Innovation:** The semiconductor industry has unique barriers to entry due to high R&D costs and rapid innovation cycles. Despite the oligopolistic structure, there is still significant innovation, particularly in chip design and specialized components. 7. **Final Takeaways:** - **Complexity and Importance:** Semiconductor manufacturing is the most complex manufacturing process in human history, requiring precision tools and specialized software. - **Global Influence:** Control over semiconductor technology directly influences global economic and military power. Competition between the U.S. and China will shape the future of computing and technological leadership. Overall, Miller emphasizes that semiconductors are not just another commodity but a strategic resource pivotal for the balance of global power.

The US is a dying empire trying to hold other in the ground with Diplomacy and Harassment 😂

Red Fear 2.0 Globalization is good only benefits 90% the US 😂😂😂

Hello MIT SSP, thanks for re-editing the Wednesday Seminars. Are you also working to reupload Prof Verschuren’s seminar on war & procurement politics? There was an audio issue with the original livestream and would like to rewatch it for my research.

The West's delusion n wishful thinking

That lady's views of Xi as ignorant, dominating, etc,etc are just smearing rhetorics, ----may be deep set in her own biased/brainwashed world views.Anyway keep on dreaming,your delusion

It has nothing to do with Ideologies. USA/West frame it as clash of ideologies because USA/West is Weaponising the ideologies issue. China,unlike USA has no desire to impose their ways on others

Keep on dreaming ,with your delusion /West's wishful thinking

Why expert say China will take 10 to20 to catch up when Trump ban Huawei from high end chip n google android in couple years Huawei scientists n engineers beat USA ban reminds people China have brain too EUV machine is made by humans not nature

China is intent in war. This lecture was just chit chat !

Buggy upload

Hey did u guys think it was fair for the supreme Court to pick up Donalds case with a bogus claim for presidential immunity when it's in direct violation of amendment 13 section 3 of the constitution??🤔🤔😉😉

All these hypotheticals were running thru my mind it's analytical just scenarios

No engagement with subject001?

@esprctator369. Twittr

I dont wana be a product of my environment i want my environment to be a product of me

AI?

If there not committed then. Why would u want them with u during shoot ing

Am i getting picked up?

So they should just unite and go against government

Only one party there will never be peace especially if theres _ $_ involved

I cant really say too much for security concerns

First the government won't take them seriously because they allow them to call size fires sl

Present

It's useless to tell consequencies of war. One has to experience it. And even then, it will not help to avoid it.😢

Self hating Chinese.

I agree there are isolated incidents of brutality which unfortunately can be used as evidence for systemic repression. I have great sympathy with how Prof Ong reached her conclusion, but this conclusion is highly biased, imaginary and does not reflect how the system works in China...

An audience of 26 people? 50:14

No sound in the first part of the presentation. Sound resumed at 20:45.

33% of computing power is produced in Taiwan

Damn the audio is horrible. MIT 2023 ... Come on!

December 12, 2023 Chinese cyberattack on Guam, Hawaiian, and Texan water, oil, gas, electrical, communications, transportation, and other infrastructure. Malware was also placed for later attacks. September 9, 2023 After repeated attacks to the nation, the Pentagon decided that the private sector could no longer be relied upon to protect the nation's infrastructure, and deemed the attacks a threat to national security.

標準的左膠白男，對川普滿滿厭惡，再加上危言聳聽，真是莫名不知所以。 靠著操弄危機感賣錢，然後被邀請到全世界演講賺大錢。 一個沒有國際觀，出書前沒有到過台灣，沒有任何國際關係研究背景的中年白男，真的令人感到無言以對

Absolutely enjoyed this talk, I agree completely with Professor Andrew Kydd.

Thanks.

USA and western world would benefit a lot from democratic Russia. Helping Ukraine to defeat Russia can further this goal - Russia always had major revolutions and changes of power after losing major war. At the same time Samuel Charap seems to further Russian goals more, in my opinion he is russian asset - knowingly or unknowingly. PS: you have typo in title: "In Ukraine: Are we moving to an endgame? - Samual Charap - RAND Corp." it's Samuel Charap not Samual.

I would love to hear about the Christian movement in China.

baaad sound

Also, never believe a Russian negotiator. They can be honest and sincere about wanting to stop the fighting, but ultimately it isn't their choice. Russian society isn't setup for good faith negotiations.

I think Sam does a good job of defining frameworks of political theory, but he completely tries to stay clear of suggesting which options are more likely. I understand his professional attempt to leave those decisions to policy makers since his job is only to outline options. Although, sometimes it comes off as if different options are equally possible, which really doesn't represent the most likely scenario in many cases.

It’s a bit odd how Sam gets all jittery and all that nervous laughter when Polina asked a very legitimate question on Russian influence in Europe and US interest…Russian agent much?

Please note there are really no "Taiwanese" on Chinese people living on Taiwan

White see yellow no up!!

Keep on dreaming China will survive Huawei mate 60 pro, you can see arrogance.

🤣🤣🤣👍🇧🇷🇷🇺🇮🇳🇨🇳🇿🇦➕️👍😁😁😁

It was cheaper for China to buy reliable Western chips, benefiting both sides. China spends more on chip imports than on oil. The "Made in China 2025" initiative provided substantial funds for chip development, but companies were hesitant due to technical challenges and the risk of competing with established players like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC. With US sanctions, China shifted focus, prompting the emergence of new chip research companies and increased government subsidies, making domestic chip development a top priority for Chinese research institutions. When self-sufficient, China can provide the world with cheaper chips, while the West and its allies lose access to both the Chinese and global markets. The US is developing its own supply chain, but without access to a large market, it cannot be competitive. The US is leaving no knees untouched in its Tonya Harding competition strategy. The Chinese are very grateful to the US for pushing them towards self-sufficiency. Thanks to the US, China now has its own GPS system and space program. More sanctions, please.

All the pro-China hacks are out.
