    > TWO. All the participants with something to lose will act surprised. Especially those that have behaved badly.

    Investors and index funds are really the biggest examples of "bad behavior" to blame this on. And frankly, they're decently well-covered by preexisting datacenter demand, sans any federal bailout. It's not like Apple is shipping a TSMC product that obsoletes Nvidia's product line, nor AMD/Intel for that matter.

    Not sure why the fed would invoke natural security to solve a problem the free market can correct. Hell, chances are the CIA needed a new tranche of GPUs for surveillance projects like SENTIENT anyways, I bet they would buy the GPUs at market-price if they haven't already.
