🇺🇸🇹🇷🇨🇳⚡️ - Leftist streamer Hasan Piker has endorsed giving China advanced American AI chips and the lithography machines used to manufacture them, completely dismissing the national security and economic consequences.

Reacting to reports of Chinese espionage targeting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Piker declared, "I want them to copy the fucking chips," adding, "We want to flood the market with Chinese copies." He also stated, "I don't give a fuck about the national security implications here," and expressed support for Chinese honey traps to obtain the technology. The United States has spent decades and enormous sums of money building its semiconductor advantage, which supports high-paying American jobs and is critical to the country's economic and military power. Piker is apparently willing to surrender that advantage for cheaper GPUs, demonstrating astonishing disregard for American national security and outright hostility toward the country's strategic interests.
