China's progress in advanced AI capabilities will be significantly slowed for a substantial period (multiple years) if it continues to lack access to leading‑edge US semiconductor manufacturing technology and Nvidia's top-tier AI chips due to export controls.
“I think that the technology that they need is extremely non-trivial. And I do think that it actually slows them down quite a bit if they don't have access to it.”

Explanation
Evidence cuts both ways: Nvidia halted H200 shipments to China in March 2026 and export controls have genuinely constrained Chinese labs' access to leading-edge chips, but DeepSeek and other Chinese labs adapted quickly, squeezing more model quality out of fewer/weaker chips (Huawei Ascend hardware) and demonstrating China's AI progress was slowed, not stopped, contradicting the more sweeping 'significantly slows them down' framing.
If Harvard does not fully abandon DEI-based race-conscious policies, then roughly every 1–2 years going forward there will be new whistleblower-driven litigation revealing that Harvard is still engaging in racial discrimination in admissions, resulting in repeated legal findings against Harvard and subsequent policy tweaks followed by further cases.
“And the alternative to the administration saying, just get rid of Dei is that every year or two, we're going to have new litigation where there'll be some whistleblower, and it'll come out that Harvard is still engaging in racial discrimination. And then Harvard will be found guilty like they were in that 2023 case. And they'll change their policy and they'll manipulate it, and they'll play some new game, and there'll be a new court case, and we'll keep going back and forth with them.”

Explanation
New Harvard admissions litigation did recur within about 10 months (the DOJ sued Harvard on February 13, 2026 alleging it is still unlawfully discriminating against white applicants and stonewalling a civil-rights review), matching the substance of the prediction, but the mechanism was a DOJ civil-rights investigation, not the specific 'whistleblower-driven' pattern Sacks described, and no court has yet found Harvard guilty in this new case.
