Redis creator antirez weighs in on the recent NVIDIA controversy, noting that Jensen Huang is of mainland Chinese origin yet drove a GPU revolution in the US, GPUs are made in Taiwan with Dutch technology, and the neural-network AI dream is European-American (with Hinton as its brightest star). He argues this is fundamentally a human-wide effort that shouldn't be framed by any single national narrative.
