Deep dives
National Security and Industrial Capacity
America's national security strongly hinges on its industrial capacity and infrastructure, particularly in relation to semiconductors and artificial intelligence. The reliance on Taiwan for advanced chips poses significant risks, as nearly all high-performance GPU chips critical for AI are manufactured there, leaving the U.S. vulnerable in the event of a supply chain crisis. The conversation emphasizes the urgency of bolstering domestic manufacturing capabilities to mitigate risks associated with global dependencies. This interdependence crystallizes the importance of strategic investments in local production to ensure national security against potential geopolitical tensions.
