Nvidia's $70 Million Florida Supercomputer Hobbled by DeSantis

- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis had initially thought that a supercomputer bankrolled at the University of Florida by billionaire co-founder of chip giant Nvidia, Chris Malachowsky, would be a magnet for AI talent. Almost four years later, DeSantis' staunch anti-China stance has instead prevented some of the most highly skilled AI researchers from countries like China and Iran from ever setting foot in the state. Bloomberg's Michael Smith joins Ed Ludlow on "Bloomberg Technology."
The Chinese and Iranians (Indians and Russians too) are simply hard workers and are willing to put in the time to study disciplines that we spoiled Americans find tedious and pedantic. All this "nationalism" and anti-immigrant rhetoric reduces our talent pool and relegates us to being 2nd, 3rd, 4th rate innovators because of politics (you know who). My family is a family of scientists. I'm Ukrainian, my wife is an American born Russian, her mother and father defected from a communist Soviet Union at the height of the cold war yet couldn't be more patriotic regardless of their heritage. They are both microbiologists, one also has a law degree (just for fun) and they both still study classic literature, the father is a chess master and the mother (the one with the law degree) is a published and performing poet and their daughter (my wife) is an MD and her sister, a lawyer, both Ivy League graduates and the father a tenured professor, department head and research scientist at an Ivy as well. He collaborates with scientists all over the world (speaks seven languages) which in the science world reduces the possibility of wasting time duplicating experiments and enriches his knowledge as well. My point is that we all live on the same rotating orb and gain so much from each other and have come too far as a species to let the fragile ego of one silly man to send us backwards in our pursuit of a better future. The Chinese are super competitive but so are we and closing our borders to smart, talented workers will further relegate us to be playing catch-up rather than being the great prosperous nation that was our trajectory before ultranationalist protectionist fervor reeled its ugly head. As for the spying, it would be naive to think adversaries couldn't think of a way around DeSantis's shortsightedness.
So inshort this would be a good news for china, because now their brightest talent don't have any other option but to improve their own technology, well let's see if chinese government could capitalize this opportunity
Worst thing that can happen is to alienate other countries and start economic competition that leads to war. It doesn't make any sense. We could be cooperating as a single planet to solve all of the challenges threatening our existence.
US top talent focus more on gender studies
Nvidia cannot sell fully-functional AI chips to China. The US cannot sell anything to Iran. Seems prudent to put in a measure to protect this asset, which is available to all State of Florida schools. Naive to think otherwise. I tried to find the legislation to read the details myself, but all i find are articles saying it hinders recruitment. UF is one of the hardest schools to get into these days. I doubt they are starving for talent. If anything, AI talent is going into industry immediately because they can make a fortune.
Congrats to your family. Seriously. Mine escaped communism as well. The evil (rather than silly) man i would be concerned about is Putin. Tell him we are all on a happy orb. I'm shocked he's still around...
That's true about Iranian stuents, but most of the Chinese students are loyal to CCP.
Basically, it's funny how many people mis pronounce Nvidia. It is not pronounced "Na - vidia"... It is pronounced "eN - vidia" There are so many news casters lately saying this. It's funny
It’s pronounced la vid li da loca
It's a quantum misunderstanding via teleprompt. The readers were never listeners, so they can't differentiate n-one from n-other.

Mike Smith needs to stop saying "basically" every 20 seconds
You are basically right.
I read that Nvidia provides tech for crypto mining services/blockchain transactions. Could the current crypto pump be attributed to Nvidia’s great earnings and should I hold some crypto as well, cos tbh I’m having FOMO with the current crypto price at 64k.
Microstrategy CEO bought $155million worth of bitcoin, so yes BUY!
It’s going to be a wild year for these sectors, so you should def. invest in crypto. 60% of my portfolio is spread across tech stocks, crypto and Crypto/Gold ETFs.
Could you recommend some good advisers? don’t get me wrong, I already have an asset manager, but he seems not to know much about crypto.
Looks splendid. How can I talk to her directly? I left messages and set up a date. Does sh call?
What is it great about Iran that they produce so many AI PhD candidates! USA, india, UK, France, Germany and all such countries should learn from Iran! Florida is short of AI scientists from Iran and China! 😂 😆
So we can't do cutting edge research in this country without Chinese and Iranian citizens?
Why don't these universities simply revamp their admissions policies and admit more Americans?
U just dont get it do u.
Have you ever taken a high level math class in a university? What do you think is the demographic of those classes?
@@Hymz-kx2sg No I don't....All I see is our intellectual property being stolen by our real enemies, while we obsess about folks on the southern border picking tomatoes to support their families....
Immigration of high tech talent INTO the US give us a such an advantage over other countries, including the immigrants' own nations. We can easily win the war for top talent, we should want them to become long-term Americans and play for our team.
@@Hymz-kx2sgno you don't tbh
This is a good idea to have only US Citizens working on this
Every university is open but this is counter intuitive but it might create a good alternative for domestic research
U can't really blame him for having concerns...
But he should consider letting chinese work there as most chinese dont really like the the CCP...
Basically .
Look at who is leading NVDA and AMD. Or formerly TI. Even TELA, without China, the gigafactory Shanghai, and the people and executives behind it, TSLA cannot scale to this day.
Adversarial government...
Much as foreign oil can be valuable, foreign work is just as valuable (or really, more)... It's foolish to play the game in a way that you lose access to resources that you can use for your benefit.
The main thing that's needed with China, is to somehow get us to the point that we're willing to respect each other's interests and work towards a common good.
Their government wants what's best for their people. The US government (theoretically) wants what's best for the American people... Non-mutually-sabotaging agreements have to be possible.
The problem with this adversarial approach on talent is that it's too easy to work around. Can Chinese start a company in Canada and attract talent from the US with good compensation? Can they do things in Europe or have remote orgs?
Being anti-competitive is not usually the better long term play... You need to just commit to being better.
People are not as important as systems - as what you've built that enables you to do more.
Besides, China is super committed and they have plenty of talent. And there's no magic to research... You're learning about what works in the real world - and that is something that anyone can do with enough effort.
American cant compete in tech without overseas brainpower
Not enough talented people to use the facilities? Please define who and what kind of people are talented? I guess the most talented people are all in the us military
Just because Nvidia built the computer doesn't make this an Nvidia news story.
I have never supported any of Desantis' ideologies but this time round, i agree with him. These 5 nationalities are a threat to national security.
If you don't support any of desantis' ideology, how is this different from banning trans, gays, or anyone he doesn't like in this state? There was once a law that forbids Chinese to open restaurants in new york.
People in Florida, especially the elderly, are losing their homes because of skyrocketing insurance prices.
They really need to fix the education system in US. It is easy to just tap talent from other countries.
...nothing like..a billion nvidia servers working in unisono..with a matured logic.. to ...get..me.. the ...gold
Well African STEM students (grad school and Phd) are an untapped hardworking talent pool too you know.
It's 70 million dollars lol it's so small it's pointless
😆 fake, not NVidia
You let Chinese "Researchers" come anywhere near that computer and by the end of the week every university in China will have at least one.
No one tell this genius where it was manufactured LMFAO
This is such a false accusation against Chinese students. Most people making such accusations have never stepped into a high tech stem course in their life.
china isn't the only one transferring technology@@juanmacias5922
They should get rid of their dictatorship @@wwkk4964
Hey intellectual genius, all semiconductor fabs that are manufacturing chips for NVIDIA are location in the sovereign nation of Taiwan by TSMC that's a corporation not a country. In case you're wondering how to spell where TSMC is located Mr. Brainiac it's T-A-I-W-A-N not C-H-I-N-A.@@juanmacias5922
But what happens when Nvidia or any other A.I. companies merge with DarkPulse Inc, with it's crazy technology?!
😂🤣😅😆
NVIDIA needs to move to a Democratic State.
