This article reads so superficially. I would have hoped that a university would put a bit more of the actual mass of the research into their article about it.
Considering that the main argument is that supply chains are difficult, I don’t see how, for example, the US could confirm that China is no longer internally producing these AI training chips or vice versa. Aren’t the supply chains in different countries somewhat disjoint?


Not to take away from your beautiful comment, but wasn’t there recently some research that the appendix might actually be beneficial? It had something to do with storing a copy of gut bacteria that can be re-seeded into the gut if needed. (I’ll post a link if I come across the study again.)
