Why are there people even defending this piece of shit? He is a billionaire, just like all the others, and he is actively ruining society. He does not give two shits about the people. He is a sociopathic egocentric piece of shit. Just like all the others.
He artificially created the RAM and GPU crisis. He is part of the reason for the state of society today. May he forever suffer.
May the universe hear my prayers and kill this piece of shit human being.
Huang admitted in August that major cloud providers are moving away from Nvidia in favor of in-house chips, leaving Nvidia staring down a massive oversupply of prepaid TSMC silicon and memory that was “coming at him like an ‘avalanche’”.
I’ve been claiming this RAM shortage could end very suddenly, because bankruptcies could void most 3 year advance orders in a matter of days.
This kind of proves it if true. It doesn’t even have to be bankruptcies!!My guess is that we will have cheap RAM already next year. 😀
I just want some HDDs for my server, that’s all. Is that too much to ask? They’re fire now. $300 for a 4tb HDD? That’s a crime.
Everything will follow down in price. It’s only a matter of when. For now we are fucked.
The only thing more exciting than prices correcting is having cheap ram subsidized by Nvidia shareholders.
I don’t think that’s how it works, I bet Nvidia is making a huge profit on that RAM.
When the prices collapse, we don’t need RAM to be subsidized, and for now RAM is expensive because of Nvidia.
So I don’t really follow your logic.Nvidia will have paid some money to the manufacturer. Even if they do not accept all the chips they’ll owe some money for breaking the contract. I can twist that in my head to imagine the consumer chips will be subsidized by that money. Let me have this.
OK sorry for my skepticism, you are of course absolutely correct.
For sure Nvidia will have paid for RAM production to have been expanded more over a period of 2-3 years. And that will help lower prices in the future.
We will have cheap hardware soon, from factories subsidized by Nvidia. 😋
Market being irrational is not unheard of, it’s a good thing to wish for, just give it to them.
The companies switching to in-house chips will still need other companies to do the manufacturing. If Nvidia cut its reserved production capacity it would just go to those other companies. Demand for Nvidia’s data center stuff is down, but that doesn’t necessarily mean demand for data center stuff is down overall.
No not automatically it doesn’t, in house could increase equally to the decline of Nvidia.
But in practice I think it does a lot, because in house will be built on way more efficient models. And Nvidia is at the center of a huge circular financial scheme mostly off the books, that is driving the AI bubble. If the AI bubble bursts, demand will most definitely plummet.
My guess is that we will have cheap RAM already next year. 😀
Maybe. Taiwan amount for 2-3% of the global RAM production, only. When - some say if, but it doesn’t look like it - China decides to start a war with Taiwan and it turns out they can’t invade the island in just a few weeks, it could have an effect on their RAM production. China covers 10%. Other RAM manufacturers: South Korea 63%, Japan, also would be affected, I guess?
TSMC silicon and memory
That does not mean the RAM is by TSMC or made in Taiwan. What it means is that Nvidia preordered BOTH.
cheap RAM already next year.
Unlikely because ram has been retooled for hbm server gpus. It will be another year before it’s back to ddr5.
So cheap GPUs then? I could live with that.
The Datacenter GPUs can’t be used for graphics, unfortunately.
Now, if you want a compute firesale…
If someone or some group could figure out a way to get them working for normal people they could make a lot of money even if it’s not easy like resoldering components or something
It’s not a software limitation. Datacenter GPUs physically do not have ROPs; they cannot render games.
Nvidia removed them on the H100. The A100 technically has some, but not enough to perform well.
AMD removed them even earlier, on the MI100 at the very least.
…But if you are interested in workstation compute stuff?
Datacenter GPUs are great at that. I look forward to picking up a firesale B100 someday.
Also, there is already a group hacking them on the Level 1 Tech forums. But they are trying to unlock the motherboards to use them for compute, not graphics.
Workstation compute - like CAD? Video rendering?
Not CAD. Pretty much anything that’s “real time graphics” needs ROPs.
But Blender rendering, yes. Works great on datacenter GPUs.
It goes well beyond that. There’s tons of stuff GPU compute is useful for; personally, I want a B200 for video/image processing and for more “old school” machine learning experimentation.
DDR5 demand is part of it, not all the RAM shortage is HBM on the GPU. Those server boards have massive amounts of DDR5 too.
Time to learn soldering!
I can absolutely see an entire industry briefly appearing for repurposing cheap VRAM. The money to make is too great. Someone will make a quick buck out of it.
Hard to say how much of the demand induced price increases are based on anticipated chips for future purchase under multi-year contracts that may simply evaporate. Often prices are based on future predictions, not here-and-now supply ane demand.
The AI bubble bursting might take us into yet another “once in a generation” recession, but at least we’d finally be able to actually buy computer parts again!
I mean the orange turd’s war with Iran already skyrocketed the cost of living crisis in the west, so we might as well get a recession to pair with it like a nice Chianti.
Everything could be so good, but instead we are so fucked. And notice how USA is consistently on the bad side of things!!!
Maybe Americans voting for a sociopath was a bad idea IDK?We don’t know that the country actually voted for him and that he didn’t falsify election vote totals, directly in between the first time we know he tried to falsify election vote totals, the first time we witnessed him try to violently overthrow the government, and the most recent time we know he tried to falsify election vote totals.
The chips made for data centers aren’t consumer grade. I doubt there will be a sudden decrease in RAM prices even with a few bankruptcies.
Funny how Sam Altman is complaining about RAM in ordinary PC’s?
Because sam is an idiot,but he probably is talking about future ram. Insteadof the basic componemts going towards future personal ram, he wants everythong diverted to the cloud.
Sam is an idiot, let’s just leave it at that and be in agreement. 😋
No we can’t, because the second part of my explanation makes the case that he is also evil. And Trump is a perfect example of how far being evil can get you, no matter how stupid you are.
OK an evil idiot, I’m absolutely fine with that too. 👍
I also agree regarding Trump, and let’s throw in Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Zuckerberg et al.yeah, enough of this rodeo: time to rein in this stupid idiots with money parade.
If we were to leave it at him being an evil idiot - which he is - that still leaves him at the helm. He still gets to dictate what goes where because there are always useful idiots who will follow those dollars right into their own destruction in the name of ultimately making the evil idiot more rich.
It can’t be left alone. I don’t have anything like a realistic answer besides “make a law or ten prohibiting such people from doing such things and acquiring such incomprehensible wealth and power,” but outside of that I’ve got the same secret dark wish as everybody else; that Ryuuk will drop his Death Note at my feet and then I’ll rearrange society that way. Otherwise, I got nothin’.
Problem here is USA, not Trump, not Musk, not Jensen Huang. It’s USA, everything else over there are symptoms of a sick society that Americans refuse to fix.
30 years of Schools shootings, and they still refuse to tighten regulation!!
Hey Sam, I have 64 gb and the most I’ve been able to use at one time is 30, Cry Bitch I’m wasting RAM you could be using. lol
You MONSTER!!
That’s not the point. The problem is that these giant AI datacenter buyers have signed contracts promising to reserve all of the chip foundries’ future production for however many years. The chips causing this “shortage” for the most part aren’t even made yet.
And without much complications to the “market”. Since the 3 yrs supply they “bought” in advance was never paid for. Find a way to void the contracts and start making stuff people actually want to buy. It’s not like nvidia is going to actually pay them at this point. E:typo

@Buffalox @nothrone that would be #awesome and the end of #ramshortage ? :D
Interesting. Fabricated scarcity to justify highway robbery prices. They’ve been choking out a fuckton of very powerful industries, not just the gaming industry.
I hope they get sued to oblivion.
Steve from Gamers Nexus has been screaming from the roof tops for a couple of years now, but all the “mainstream news outlets” that are supposed to be for the people, ignored him and kept praising goldfish-face Jensen and made him look like a god with his ugly-ass leather jacket.
We all saw it from the very beginning. It’s all about the short term gains and to make those graphs point upwards. It doesn’t matter the means and the consequences of that, just make sure they go up. That’s it. Fuck you and me average fucks who just want to buy 2TB of storage for their pc or a fucking 32GB of RAM. Y’all in the West seriously need to bring back guillotines and public execution.
Y’all in the West seriously need to bring back guillotines and public execution.
Wouldn’t help—there’s no deterrent effect, because people like this have too much ego to even consider that they might be caught. We need to start catching them before they make a mess.

That is a testable hypothesis.
Historical data is enough. There was no sudden surge in crime rates when public executions ceased in the West. The deterrent effect is zilch—people treated it like a theatrical performance, not a criminal penalty. That’s why we don’t do it anymore.
Pest control isn’t about deterrent. It’s about getting rid of existing. If the other rats happen to get a message from it…
I’m trying to think of anywhere in the non-West that has guillotines or public executions, that I’d want to emulate as a good policy model.
…
Nope, nowhere comes to mind.
Nvidia has done supply shenanigans like this in the past, too. Repeatedly. Oldschool hardware outlets covered it extensively.
“mainstream news outlets” that are supposed to be for the people
There’s your problem. If you start with a false premise, all your subsequent logic is invalid.
So, good news, then?
fr fuck this guy. Unless you’re his wife or one of his mistresses, then you should probably stop fucking him.
then you should probably stop fucking him.
Fun fact:
Zimbardo refused to stop the Standford Prison Experiment when parents threatened to go to police, and even after some staged a prison break out after Zimnardo gaslit them into thinking it would be illegal for their son to leave the fake jail.
The only reason it stopped, is one of his grad students he was fucking at the time flat out said “this is horrible, so I’m not going to fuck you until it’s over”…
Zimbardo ended the experiment by the next night.
There have been wife/woman’s strikes where the stopped having sex with the men in thier lives to protest violence against women
May the universe hear my prayers and kill this piece of shit human being.
Woah, such violence.
May his socks always curl under his toes forever.
See? Same amount of pain, no violence.
May he lose all sense of smell and taste, lose his hair, and forever have itchy skin.
May he fall in a hole and never get out.
You can also imply some grisly possibilites without stating it directly… or who knows, maybe he just likes it in there and wants to stay. Could be full of chinese honey or something, idk.
That’s not a reputable source I have ever heard about.

Before Resigning, Jensen Huang Admitted He Was Facing an “Avalanche” of Excess Wafers and Memory, New Report Sheds More Light on the GPU & RAM Crisis
Sikandar MahmoodNovember 13, 2026
For the past two years, the narrative around inflated GPU and RAM prices has been the insatiable AI demand eating up wafer at TSMC and every module on Earth must go to AI data centers. However, the narrative is cracking ever since reports of channel stuffing and over commitments came out.
Now with Nvidia’s former CEO Jensen Huang gone, more details are out that corroborate our earlier reports on inflated demand on AI. According to Wall Street Journal, Huang admitted in August that major cloud providers are moving away from Nvidia in favor of in-house chips, leaving Nvidia staring down a massive oversupply of prepaid TSMC silicon and memory that was “coming at him like an ‘avalanche’”.
The WSJ report details a heated clash in August 2026 between Huang and Nvidia’s longtime Chief Financial Officer, Colette Kress, the executive who has now taken over as Nvidia’s interim CEO.
Kress was concerned about Nvidia’s growing financial exposure and wanted to rein in the company’s “circular financing” commitments to cloud providers, and AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic.
While early talks had floated backstopping roughly 8 gigawatts of OpenAI compute (worth up to $250 billion), Kress successfully scaled Nvidia’s signed guarantee cap down to roughly 4.25 gigawatts, or up to $125 billion.
In an August meeting, Huang belittled Kress for questioning the deals, calling her “a deer in the headlights”. To justify why Nvidia needed to financially backstop OpenAI and smaller cloud providers to keep buying its GPUs, Huang admitted that Nvidia was caught in a massive squeeze.
Then he went on to describe the situation the company was in. Major cloud providers were running away from Nvidia, making plans to use alternative chips and lessen their reliance on the firm. Even worse, Huang said, the vast supply of chip wafers and memory Nvidia had committed to buying were coming at him like an ‘avalanche.’
Per the WSJ
Nvidia has reportedly contacted TSMC to wind down their chip orders.
For PC builders and hardware enthusiast the reported admission is validating, and quite glaring. Jensen Huang, instead of allowing excess TSMC wafer capacity and memory flow back into reasonable priced GeForce products and broader DRAM production, allegedly scrambled to use its own balance sheet to finance data center buildouts so AI startups and absorb Nvidia’s over-ordered chips.
The $500bn deal? Fake. The $100bn OpenAI deal? Fake. Jensen and NVIDIA have built their legacies on deception. They tried to rig 5060 interviews, and threatened @GamersNexus. This company sucks and has sucked for a while and everybody wants to pretend it’s a sudden event. https://t.co/cpaIXwfp5d
— Ed Zitron (@edzitron) November 12, 2026
Reports of glut of unsold hardware have been around for a while, but only now mainstream media is catching up to what Nvidia was reportedly doing. Many industry analysts including Ed Zitron reported months ago how Nvidia and other companies have exposed themselves to devastating financial risk, and also made sure to channel stuff META, Google, Amazon, and others by leveraging their FOMO.
Zitron estimated that at least $200 billion worth of Nvidia AI chips are sitting idle in warehouses, purchased by cloud giants that lacked the electrical grid capacity or immediate end-user demand to plug them in.
The bottom line is, AI demand is no way near as high that it would consume this much silicon.
It makes sense that general purpose hardware would just be a stopgap for data centers who need to run one very specific workload like LLM prefill at the lowest cost possible. Nvidia’s exact target market who want general purpose hardware for a variety of tasks like running games, Blender, video editors, and some ML models now can’t afford it. Not to worry, though. Even if a B200 sucks at prefill compared to purpose-built hardware, I’m sure a lot of us would happily buy one or two for like $100 each.
An issue with LLM inference is that the software architecture changes significantly, very quickly, and the combination of Nvidia’s software support + some architectural flexibility makes GPUs quite advantageous for that.
Just as an example, everyone saw KV cache as this existential limiting factor for LLMs. Now, it’s tiny. Another is the old dense model paradigm vs. the almost comically sparse ones coming out. Even matrix-multiply compute could be rendered irrelevant if Bitnet gains traction.
And that’s not to speak of training.
