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.

Ah yes, the new world spy/control agency. I shudder to think about the murderous plans they have with AI.
Fuck you, Nvidia.
Again, whatever.
Ive been an amd fanboy since athlon blew away pentum 4s. Their bulldozer chips had a bad rep I never understood it
Well, they were slow as hell for one.
That tracks.
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 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.
Intel set up shop in Israel long ago, but I’m still boycotting. At least we have AMD as an alternative.

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.

I garunfuckingtee the New Gaza and New Rafah Technocracies will be powered by Nvidia if Jason has his way.
I’d love to never buy from Nvidia again if RDNA 5 can live up to the hype. Current generation AMD cards are unfortunately not cost effective for the path tracing and compute workloads I run (Blender rendering, simulations, and certain ML models). Hopefully, AMD will offer midrange cards with strong compute capabilities that don’t have artificially limited VRAM. I’m especially excited about the Radiance cores: true RTX to compete with Optix.
