NVIDIA Allegedly Engineered Scarcity By Funding AI Startups To Buy Its GPUstechpowerup.com/354814/nvidia-Following the departure of now-former NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang, a new report has emerged alleging that NVIDIA artificially inflated the ongoing GPU and memory shortage by investing in AI startups that would go on to buy NVIDIA GPUs and build data centers. The reason behind this was to maintain the perception of ongoing high demand and to move an oversupply of semiconductors from TSMC.

@nixCraft This is some monopoly racketeering shit right here.I heard that AMD cards are also pretty good at AI stuff. Same with Intel (even integrated graphics to a certain point)...Pretty much anything that supports Vulkan can be used with AI stuff, since Vulkan shaders can be used in GPGPU loads. I've seen open-source LLM software like Ollama use Vulkan.There is even some more dedicated AI hardware chips popping up on the market now. Why does it always have to be NVIDIA's damn GPUs?
