theres like 3 EUV machines made over a 3 year period

made by one company (ASML)

if you aren't Intel, TSMC or Samsung you aint getting one

I think the parent is implying that someone in Vietnam or Kazakhstan could just buy the finished product and drive across the border.

So the restriction is effectively an inconvenient tax.

[blibble]

how does that help if the finished product has been made to detect LLM workloads in hardware and slow down?

[MichaelZuo]

Assuming the detection is perfectly implemented, it wouldn't.
