Tbf, US companies brought this upon themselves when they agreed to China’s guidelines for working within the country.
Lots of industries in China have a barrier to entry for foreign manufacturers/businesses that require either partnering with a local Chinese business or rebadging your product to sell under a local Chinese business brand.
Such conditions are rife for IP theft. Especially in a country that is famous for ignoring IP laws of other nations. Shenzhen doesn’t even leverage IP laws at all, it’s the wild west.
This will set China back multiple years in their quest to automagically generate the most dogshit art anyone has ever seen. Maybe even longer on chatbot girlfriend technology crucial to winning the 21st century and beyond.
The data harvesting fronts that have been released to consumers are not the problem. Its AI that generates better jet parts, or ai that can better detect submarines, or AI that can efficiently parse through the massive amounts of data they collect on everyone.

I do wonder how well these restrictions work. I have a feeling they only create a black market.

In the west and under the law of the country the company operates, yes. But this is ultimately a US protectionist act that does not carry nearly the same weight overseas. Admittedly I have no idea how the US is even remotely able to enforce this - by providing more sanctions/restrictions? They might have power over US companies that sell abroad, but after it’s sold I don’t see how they’re preventing this hardware from being sold again to any other country or company.

I’m interested in seeing the kind of acceleration libraries pop up as RISCV starts to extend into GPU territory.
Remember that Huawei already broke through the mobile SoC barrier that was thought to be impossible with their new chip recently? Oh I wonder what is going to happen next… Well the Chinese have been much further in their domestic GPU/AI accelerator development. They just end up creating Chinese domestic competition and at worst global competition for US tech sector. I say Washington is desperate and treading water with it’s sanction war and will end up slowing china for a bit on the short term, but en up shooting themselves in the leg on the long to medium term with this one.
What’s the (mock-up?) board in the picture and why do I want one so badly?
