      More realistically: because whenever the government tries to regulate anything in Tech, they typically fail to understand the core concepts pretty much entirely, and then regulate in a way that’s a massive pain in the ass to consumers, but also largely ineffective.

        Yes, but let’s not forget the role huge corporations have in shaping these laws. The goverment basically exists for them and their interests.

          While that’s true, the stated intents of the law and the actual impacts of the law in this case are very clearly not aligned, if Nvidia’s best purpose-built commercial GPGPU/ML-acceleration card is still able to be sold to China. The entire point was to make it harder for China and Chinese companies to get stuff like that.
