NVIDIA may give the US government a cut of its profits to sell AI chips to China, AOL's dial-up internet still exists, but not for much longer, and The Space Invaders movie is apparently still happening

from Engadget News + Next · host Engadget

The debate over whether AI chipmakers should be allowed to sell their products to China has taken an unusual turn. The US government has reportedly given NVIDIA and Advanced Micro Devices permission to make the sales but for one big catch: 15 percent of the sales. In other news, AOL said it will discontinue its dial-up service on September 30, officially marking the end of an era in Internet history. It may come as a shock to most that AOL still runs its dial-up Internet service, but some thousands of users still rely on this outdated method as an affordable way to access the Internet in more rural areas. And it appears the movie version of the arcade game Space Invaders is back in the works. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
