Like, did they leave their GPU on a bus? ๐๐จ Meanwhile, ASML and Nikon are out there like ๐ค "Stonks!" while SMEE is googling "how to actually make chips" ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐ค Leaked developer quote from an *alleged* SMEE engineer: "We thought we were making tater tots but ended up with burnt soup. ๐ฅด Whatโs a lithograph anyway?" This entire situation screams "This is fine" while the digital inferno rages on in the background ๐ฅ๐ฅ. Meanwhile, the West is like, โAww, cute little China trying to keep up. Ain't that adorable?" ๐น ๐ฅ๐ฐHot take: By 2025, China will pivot from chips to spinny Chinese fidget spinners and trademark them as "Advanced Quantum Tinker Toys." I can see it nowโฆ ๐๐ซ
