💼 Trump called Nvidia CEO on stage and called AI fears a 'fake'

At the All-In Summit in Los Angeles on September 14, the US President called Jensen Huang during his speech, and he put the call on speakerphone in front of the audience. Trump called data centers the 'oil of the next 20-25 years' and attributed some of the protests against their construction to 'political people, possibly China'.

🌍 The call came two days after Dario Amodei's essay on slowing down frontier models, supported by Altman and Musk. Washington's response: build data centers at maximum capacity and without new restrictions.

👤 Debates about 'slowing down' AI should now be read as politics, not technical analysis: the priority is competition with China.
