Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang got into a heated debate during a recent podcast, during which he talked with Dwarkesh Patel about whether the U.S. should be selling chips to China. During part of the conversation, which you can see below by expanding the tweet, Patel said he doesn\u2019t know whether it\u2019s actually good to give Chinese access to AI chips. Still, since he likes to play devil\u2019s advocate during his interviews, where he takes an opposing stance to his guest, he asked the leader-clad chief of the world’s largest AI chipmaker if doing so is a threat to American companies and national security<\/a>.<\/p>\n Patel gave Anthropic\u2019s Claude Mythos<\/u><\/a> as an example for his argument, which apparently revealed \u201cthousands of zero-day vulnerabilities\u201d in \u201cevery major operating system and every major web browser.\u201d He said that if China had access to the massive amounts of compute that Nvidia delivers, it could probably have used it to develop cyber-offensive capabilities that threaten the United States’ security. Huang had a fairly nuanced response to this, but he also first pointed out that Mythos was trained on \u201cfairly mundane capacity, and a fairly mundane amount of it.”<\/p>\n “You\u2019re not talking to someone who woke up a loser\u201d – Jensen HuangJensen nearly lost his composure during a heated debate about selling chips to China, despite showing tremendous patience in response to the pushback. pic.twitter.com\/A6F7RAXAghApril 16, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n
