I know it might not be 100% sound epistemology, but I think “Warren’s Razor” applies here.
If you’re on the receiving end of Elizabeth Warren’s ire, I can safely presume you are the bad guy until proven otherwise.
This is going to drag out for years, as such things do… and I would not at all be surprised if, a couple years in, Nvidia turns around and starts a PR blitz along the lines of, “tee-hee, that genAI bubble wasn’t nearly as big as we thought it would be! Look what happened to our revenue and stock price! Monopolists, lil ol’ us?!”
In other words, good on the prosecutors, but I feel like they’re only doing this now because of the mainstream hype that AI is inevitable and will conquer all industries.
If this gets CUDA open-sourced, I will be one very happy man.
Yeah but, is anyone else making AI chips? Or a good as theirs?
To be fair, it was the moderator that deleted their message, not the poster. Mods are always stifling discussion around here. Feels like Reddit.
it’s really weird how nobody wants your awful fucking posts in any community. must be the mods!
anyway, time to stifle discussion around here
You’re absolutely right, unless you actually read it.
The DOJ suspects Nvidia has been:
- Pressuring customers to buy only Nvidia chips if they want continued supply;
- Buying up competitors, such as Israeli startup Run:ai, to suppress their technologies;
- Locking customers in with its software, such as the CUDA libraries.
