AI progress depends heavily on large data centres, large amounts of compute — and most of the world’s AI-relevant compute is in these types of large data centres. [...] We think that the deal should be designed in such a way that [...] the new data centres that were built get destroyed. [...] [Y]ou design the new chips and the new data centres in such a way that they effectively have kill switches controlled by the rival country.
