Brief Summary
Taiwan's semiconductor role is evolving due to nanotechnology advancements.
Key points
- Taiwan's Strategic Importance. In 18 months, Taiwan's role in global conversations may drastically change.
- Neuralink's Nanometer Technology. Neuralink showcases groundbreaking technology operating at the nanometer scale for brain operations.
Transcript
We're 18 months from Taiwan not being an important moment of conversation the way it is today. Why 18 months? Because we are at a point where we're probably 1 to 2 nanometers away from being able to do what we need Taiwan to strategically do for us. And so, as we scale up our chip fabs, as we get more capacity, and interestingly, there are these orthogonal technologies being developed. I don't know if you guys saw, but Neuralink was showcasing now a machine that is literally operating at the almost nanometer scale to do the brain operations for the implantation all automatically. When you have the dexterity and the capability
mechanically to make these things, the real reason then is a very different one than what it is today. Today, it's economic, and if you take that off the table, I think we'll have a very different attitude to Taiwan.
