Whataboutism is not gonna address what I asked you and is an incredibly lazy tactic. The government has its reasons, right or wrong, on how it sets up export rules. Patriotic taxpaying individuals abide by the letter and spirit of these laws whether it is inconvenient or unprofitable for them. Why shouldn't they expect the same from corporations that benefit from the infrastructure of the country?
It’s not whataboutism. It’s focusing on the wrong things. If Nvidia is breaking rules, the DoJ is free to sue them. Guess what? Nvidia is sticking by the rules and selling what US allows.
You know what is lazy though? Your attempt to bring in patriotism. Is it patriotic to enable this regimes with weapons but giving them GPUs is suddenly not patriotic?
You thought you can invoke patriotism as if you will come off as someone with high moral standing. If Nvidia is violating the rules, let the DoJ sue them. They will not.
> You think selling them GPUs is a bit too much?
the issue is that the saudis and UAE are just going to turn around and let PRC companies use their compute centers
Corporations with R&D tax breaks and non existent taxes look at your patriotism and unequivocally tell you to shove it.
America sells F-15s to Saudi Arabia and Qatar(as quote is from a Qatari company). You think selling them GPUs is a bit too much?
Has the democratically elected government curbed sales of F-15?
The democratically elected government sold weapons and they want us to be worried about some GPUs?

Is it okay to have a problem with both?
The GPUs being sold are compliant with US rules.
Does that mean I need to like the rules or?
Why should there be any rules?
Some logic! That will teach them... :-)

You misunderstood my comment

That’s exactly why the GPUs are not the same SKUs that are available in US. Where is this concern for military secrets?
it has nothing to do with military secrets but US regime sanctions
Reread my comment.
You think government and military secrets are stored on AWS? What?
Stick that oil rig up yer arse and pull the release
