So the fucker bought up all RAM on the fucking planet even though he couldn't use it all and did channel stuffing only for hundreds of billions of dollars of GPUs to rot in warehouses and destroyed the electronics market for... for what exactly? This smells like a scam https://respawnfirst.com/before-resigning-jensen-huang-admitted-he-was-facing-an-avalanche-of-excess-wafers-and-memory-new-report-sheds-more-light-on-the-gpu-ram-crisis/

Even if this behavior isn't illegal (and I sure hope it is) it should show decisively once and for all that the massive "demand" for AI and their precious compute has been manufactured out of thin air using Nvidia's monopoly position and huge amounts of tech billionaire FOMO
Pretty sure market manipulation at global scale to pump up your share prices and con investors into thinking shit is worth more than it is is some flavor of fraud but what do I know I'm just a lowly peasant
@eniko Apparently Nvidia Jetson SoCs were used in Russian drones...
seems like there is a shit ton more in this story than we all thought there would be.
So might have to add treason to the list of potential offenses 🙃
@karolherbst @eniko It's not particularly hard to get SoMs in sanctioned countries aiui, they go through far more distributors than datacentre GPUs and the quantity required is less.
@eniko I mean, there's so many recursive and nested scams that I've genuinely lost track of who's scamming who at this point. It's all scams all the way down.
I hope everyone involved chokes on all the RAM and chips and GPUs that are just sitting around unusable to them now
