Where are the GPUs? Undeployed, in warehouses because there's a cartel colluding to keep prices artificially high and keep the world dependent on inference capacity rented by about 6 companies.
NVIDIA has sold about $535bn of gpus and associated gear (mostly GPUs) in the data center segment since the beginning of fy2023 (February 2022). If Microsoft only has 2gw or so, I think it’s unlikely anyone else is even close. Where are the GPUs?

Get in, folks: a new Russian disinfo campaign is targeting the midterms, specifically Democrats, in what seems to be the first attempt by the Kremlin-backed op to meddle in this year’s U.S. elections. They're faking celebrity videos attacking Dems and are...very stupid.

It omits references to the Memorial's "highly sanitized depictions of slavery" & its "nostalgic, mythologized vision of the Confederacy"
