feel like i need to quote this to stress this fact: the absurd demand for AI compute WAS MADE UP. nvidia had a tsunami of RAM and wafers coming at it it didn't know what to do with and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of GPUs were channel stuffed so hard they're rotting in warehouses
this was market manipulation at massive scale to defraud investors
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/
