Terafab
I have a 4375 element array of geopolitical silicon decisions. Each one is a discrete unit of national strategy. Each one is a bet on a particular future. And each one is, in isolation, a perfectly rational move.
My first inclination was to parse each mnemonic into its component parts. The SpaceX Terafab announcement. The Taiwanese counter-bet. The export control game. Meta and ARM’s quiet partnership. Intel’s retreat. Each one a self-contained story, each one a discrete choice, each one a decision made in good faith.
