...WE KNOW.

Um.. wasn't this well known? They'd buy up struggling companies, then secure a purchase agreement for GPUs through those companies in order to inflate their sales figures. They did this. A lot.

Coming soon: A class action lawsuit against NVidia for everyone that bought a graphics card between the dates of X and Y who will eventually receive a 15$ cheque in the mail 5 years from now.

It's not circular financing, it's not a bubble you guys. This is all legit above table normal capiterlizum

Just billionaires doing billionaire things.

This news will probably make the NVDA stock price go up.

Duh?

It was obvious to anyone with an IQ above room temperature mayonnaise.

The situation described in the report saw NVIDIA on the hook for an "avalanche" of GPUs from TSMC, for which it would have no immediate buyers. Part of the issue highlighted by Kress was also that these small-scale cloud providers NVIDIA was investing in could not afford to buy NVIDIA GPUs, meaning they, too, could be a financial dead end.

This is big. Nvidia also didn't show up in last few weeks for OpenAI's financing desperation. There were bigger 5090 shortages this summer, as rumour that datacenters were being built around them, after rtxpro shortages.

Nvidia circular financing started off the bubble. But it needs new bagholders, and its sales/extortion power plummets as its investments fail. OpenAI failure brings down the industry financial backers, though it makes GPUs/RAM cheap again.

I'm shocked, I say. SHOCKED! /s

Isnt this market manipulation?

I am shocked. Shocked!

To bad this is all coming out on the weekend Markets not open

Almost seems like whomever is running this company lacks scruples!

so basically act as LLC front companies.

Damn right he did, along with a bunch of other tech YouTubers and Ed Zitron.

I mean that's great and all, but AMD is selling everything they make. They have Zen 6 out and it's going directly into servers.

Didn't Steve from Gamers Nexus talk about this a long time ago? He's been on top of all the sketchy Nvidia stuff fair more consistently than mainstream media.

Can you imagine the price drop once we raid these center?! The marketplace will be FLOODED! Cheap!

My PC died 8 months ago. Still can't afford a new one. I want blood.

The circular gpu/ai economy is old news. Is this just making the rounds again hoping that people will pay attention this time? Or did the Wall Street Journal ignore it the first time because $$$ but now they're getting nervous?

That sounds like engineering creation of demand, not lack of supply.

DO YOU LIKE MY JACKET??!?!!!?

Stop posting, Greg

I think if you look around at the prices of so many computer components, I wonder about manipulation on those as well...
