Nvidia Allegedly Engineered Scarcity by Funding AI Startups to Buy Its GPUs

Lots of comments seem eager to declare everything over, done for, and said, and that doesn't seem to be nearly the case. The eagerness to declare it over is, I think, reflective of a desire not to examine the idea that actually the GPU demand really is there.

Maybe the real retrospective on this will be on how the news was able to forward such shaky narratives around financial doom for so long despite the underlying facts not matching.

Half the room is still entirely against this AI thing on an ideological basis. I have observed several developers using AI tools badly on purpose (malicious compliance) in order to further the narrative that this could never work out. The prospect of some AI 9/11 transpiring (they even halted the flights) is hope to these people. A certain cohort needs it to fail.
