Hot Take:

Laws are like diets; there's always a cheat day if you know where to look. Oracle's renting out top-shelf AI chips to ByteDance is sort of like "I'm not eating the cookie, I'm just renting it for my taste buds." US chip restrictions are currently more loophole than Swiss cheese, and ByteDance's AI training party is in full swing—on US soil, no less!
