Chinese Optical Computer

Beating US Sanctions, Chinese Scientists Achieve Mass Production Of Optical Chips At Low Cost (msn.com)

Of course, this particular rag is all about money, and could not care less about the whole world falling apart.

Intel is working with the Japanese on their own optical processor, India is working on their own, but the real issue is that these chips will make everything we currently have obsolete. The Chinese could easily flood the fucking market with cheap optical chips, and drive the industry into the toilet altogether.

That may sound counterproductive, but they are already flooding the markets with legacy chips. If they can't compete with the rest of the world, its to their advantage to drag the rest of the world into the toilet with them.

At any rate, the Chinese are proving capitalism can be strangled with their own insanity, inflating the price of things like chips, until they make it too tempting for a hostile takeover bid, by a billion Chinese. An optical processor can be up to 1,000,000x faster, and most people don't even need that much power, even for crunching the numbers for things like AI and quantum mechanics. Of course, even the Taiyuanese are all too well aware, they US only cares about their damn chips, and if they aren't worth anything, we'll gladly sell them to the Chinese.

That means things like cars and whatnot, that the Chinese are doing well with, will increase in value. The more often they knock the legs out from under high tech investors, the more time they buy to get ahead of them in the marketplace.

Traditionally, to Asians, if you take away their livelihood, its the same as declaring war. Of course, the wealthy in the west claim its just business, until someone hits their fucking wallet! Intel is moving into quantum computers, but the Chinese can easily stay three years behind them, and still knock the legs out from all their investors in the high tech marketplace. Its to their advantage to make a clear distinction between military and civilian technology, to stop everyone from over inflating the value of companies like Nvidia.
