Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed on Tuesday his intention to visit Israel soon, underlining the firm’s objective to double its staff in the country from the current 5,000 employees.

The company, which six years ago bought the Israeli networking firm Mellanox recently announced a mega campus in northern Israel in Kiryat Tivon.

    A bit unrelated, but Steve Burke from Gamers Nexus refuses to directly acknowledge the huge role that Nvidia (or any other tech company) play in the Israel genocide machine. Damn Liberal that he is

    That aside, this is very dumb, Israel is living on borrowed time. And yet it makes sense, because as soon as the AI bubble pops and takes down the US with it suddenly there is gonna be a lot less liquidity for Israel. So Huang has to double down as it has done for OpenAI in the US.

    Iran has demonstrated in the real world that it can and it will hit critical computing/networking hubs just as it did with the Amazon datacenter in the gulf states.

    TL;DR

      Not sure why you applied strikethrough to your top line it’s completely correct. GamersNexus always talks like they aren’t afraid of anyone but when it comes to Israel they have shown themselves as the removed they are. Steve Burke is a massive coward. Same with Louis Rossman.

      Eli the Computer Guy on the other hand is not afraid to get into politics nor to call out Israel. He’s a real one.

        I did the strikethrough because i thought it was not very relevant to the actual topic at hand. I just find it very frustrating and wanted to vent (?)

        They both (Louis and Steve) knee deep in electoralism and hard blown libs. They are the product of their mat. conditions both being petit bourgeois. Such a massive audience they have and what organizing they could do… instead of going to hearings in states where the people in charge won’t give a fuck a do evil shit anyway.
