Our government continues to show how corrupt and bad it really is. It'll be super funny when Qualcomm buys ARM instead because that's a-okay and all that. Edit: you know Qualcomm has already said that's exactly what they're going to do right? Maybe the Nvidia CEO needs to kill a goat with a stun gun and feed it to the FTC to send the right message? That seemed to work really well for Zuck.
And I get why the UK is concerned. Their regulators caught flack for allowing foreign companies to buy Deepmind and ARM. But I don't get the United States government's motivation here yet. The story will come out in time.
Okay if you trust that buying an unspecified stake doesn't lead to an acquisition once the smoke has cleared you have a very different worldview than I do. We will have to agree to disagree.
It does seem like the next 100 years is just more of what's been going on the past decade and it seems pretty grim for the customer and great for the corporations as they duke it out with each other much like what this seems to really be about.
Fascinating... So many strange acquisitions and this is the one that triggers all the red flags. The story will come out eventually and I think it's going to be a doozy.
