The podcast episode discusses the world's largest chip maker, TSMC, and their ability to remotely disable machines through a kill switch in the event of an invasion. The article highlights the geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan, as TSMC is located in Taiwan. The conversation also touches on the Chip Act, which incentivizes chip manufacturers to build plants in the United States. The hosts discuss the importance of having chip manufacturing facilities in the US to ensure a stable supply chain and prevent disruptions. They also mention the potential cybersecurity implications of such a kill switch.
