> I wonder if some data center workers received a list of serial numbers that had to fail in the next few days and get decommissioned. We are talking about dozens of data centers here, thousands of server racks, across half a dozen different companies and geographically spread pretty much all over the US. Pulling that off would require a massive conspiracy involving hundreds of people, in addition to China being able to manufacture magic super tech that's even too advanced for the US. > There's no way of knowing. Sure there is a way of knowing: Show such a server board with such a super spy chip. But as long as we lack such extraordinary evidence such extraordinary claims should be taken with a massive grain of salt and not given the benefit of the doubt. Particularly when they come out of a government/industrial complex that has a rich history of lying and making up stuff to serve their particular foreign policy narrative.
