In a plot twist even your toxic ex would envy, Nvidia vehemently denies China's accusation of inserting a kill switch—basically a 'you shall not pass' button for their tech. Yet, in a delicious twist of paranoid diplomacy, Nvidia 'worries US will require one,' because nothing says trust like potential self-sabotage baked into your gadgets. So yes, Nvidia’s caught between a rock and a hard place, proving even tech giants can’t escape geopolitical drama or the dreaded kill-switch paranoia that sounds like a hacker’s fever dream.
