i wonder what the ai related industries will look like once china's mineral sanctions start to hit chip makers of all type.

They'll just mine it elsewhere, we've been down this road before.

Which... is "funny" because even though it is a genuine arm race where 2 powerful nations are competing... it's a pointless one.
Sure, we do get slightly better STT, TTS, some "generation" of "stuff", as in human sounding text use for spam and scam, images and now videos without attribution, but the actual hard stuff? Not a lot of real change there.
Anyway, interesting to see how the chips war unfold. For now despite the grand claim though from both :
- US with software and models for AI (Claude, OpenAI, etc driven by VC backed funding looking for THE next big thing, which does NOT materialize) ) and hardware, mostly NVIDIA (so happy to sell shovels for the current gold rush) or
- China with "cheap" to train large models (DeepSeek) and hardware (SMIC, RISC based chips) to "catch-up" without any large production batch with any comparable yield
neither have produced anything genuinely positive IMHO.

China doesn't need the USA.
The USA needs China.
