As someone who works with gpu deliveries and local ai.. It's impossible to dodge Israel.
If your don't want to support Israel. Your only choice is to not use AIs
I mean I'm okay with that.
Nvidia is terrorist supporter!!!
This has aged appropriately:
Ya. It’s disappointing. But there are so many foundries in Israel. I’m not surprised. This is also why I don’t believe in terrorists. If anyone really wanted to stop Israel. They would target their foundries. But no one would dare mess with capitalism on that level.
The people the West labels as terrorists have been exploited and oppressed for generations. They don't have the resources to get into Israel and perform meaningful acts of sabotage. Actions like that are better coming from the citizens of Israel who still have a conscience. They could look to groups like Palestine Action, whose sustained sabotage efforts against an Israeli weapons manufacturer lead to the closure of at least one factory in Britain, and led to Barclays bank divesting from the company. Of course, now Palestine Action are labeled as terrorists for that...
Hard to imagine a more disgusting headline for Nvidia. I hope they go broke.
Well I’ll never buy nvidia again
Neither. Even before seeing this I had decided my next GPU will be AMD, just because of how crap Nvidias driver support is on Linux.
AMD is also in Israel. As is Intel.
Even if one doesn't care about genocide, they should still care if their own GPU is rigged to explode.
I find it amusing people say they’ll boycott NVIDIA because they set up shop in Israel.
- they set up shop in Israel a long time ago (2016 to the best of my memory)
- all of their competitors also operate in Israel to some degree
If you need discrete graphics you don’t have any choice. They all operate in Israel to some degree.
It is not just about setting up shop in Israel. It is about building a megacampus while Israel is doing a genocide and is massively bleeding money.
The "to some degree" is the difference. It went from Intel being the primary investor in Israel to now Nvidia. AMD also has some investments in Israel but they are marginal compared to the other two.
Add that to the dangers of oligopolies. They can really just do whatever they want at this point.
Intel set up shop in Israel long ago, but I’m still boycotting. At least we have AMD as an alternative.
I have bad news for you regarding AMD and Israel
Also Intel and Israel.
That tracks.
Cool. I’m now 100% team AMD if I could even buy a guy ever again.
Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, is related to Jensen Huang; they are first cousins once removed. Hopefully she doesn't closely follow Jensen's beliefs, I just thought it was something worth mentioning.
AMD and Intel also have presence in Israel.
There's plenty of other reasons to boycott Nvidia, but at this point you can't avoid Israel just by avoiding Nvidia.
Fuck it, I'm declaring war on Israel than.
AMD has a much smaller presence in Israel than the other two so they are the "lesser evil".
And again I have to say Jensen Huang is a piece of shit.
So new nvidia chip designs will include israeli rootkits, got it.
Not defending Jensen or Israel, but want to point out that Israel has many good engineers - the Intel team that designed the Core/Core Duo/Core Quad and saved Intel from the Netburst (Pentium 4) architecture was from Israel.
They have smart people, but I definitely do not agree with their government's actions.
Nazi Germany had millions of smart people supporting the world domination effort.
Where does smart=decent?
No one mentioned smart = decent. But you can't also assume Israeli = bad. Not everyone in Israel supports its government's actions.
Imagine people elsewhere in the world assuming any random American = Nazi.
Where does smart=decent?
Makes me think of the country subreddit I left not so long ago, where the members were so full of themselves and despite their intelligence they would like to commit genocide on the lower classes.
They have dumb people too, same as any other population of humans.
that's no question, NSO group and I think a few other commercial rootkit makers are also located there.
as if i needed another reason to avoid nvidia. unconscionable move here.
