Introduction:
In today’s episode, we explore five compelling stories shaping technology and policy. First, we uncover how the U.S. government is covertly embedding location trackers inside server shipments containing Nvidia and AMD chips from companies like Dell and Super Micro, aiming to catch illegal exports to China. Next, we examine landmark agreements where Nvidia and AMD agreed to give the U.S. government a 15% cut of their China revenues, while Apple committed $600 billion to avoid tariffs. Then, we dive into the emerging quantum computing real estate boom, with projections of up to $50 billion in investments by 2030, sparking excitement and skepticism from industry leaders. We also reveal surprising research on how India’s 2020 TikTok ban triggered a surge of 29-second YouTube videos, indicating millions are using the platform as a private messaging tool. Finally, we cover the guilty plea of Do Kwon, the founder behind the collapsed $40 billion TerraUSD and Luna cryptocurrencies, admitting to fraud and the secret manipulation of trading firms.
