Nvidia has confirmed "Globes" report that it has chosen the Israel Land Authority (ILA) area in Kiryat Tivon to build its huge campus that will accommodate up to 10,000 employees.

According to the illustration published by the US chip giant, this will be a large campus inspired by the design of the company’s new iconic headquarters in Santa Clara. When built it will be surrounded by commercial areas and restaurants with investment in parks and green spaces.

Ah yes, the new world spy/control agency. I shudder to think about the murderous plans they have with AI.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

I mean I'm okay with that.

[–] BrickEater@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

I garunfuckingtee the New Gaza and New Rafah Technocracies will be powered by Nvidia if Jason has his way.

This has aged appropriately:

Nvidia is terrorist supporter!!!

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Hard to imagine a more disgusting headline for Nvidia. I hope they go broke.

[–] pimpampoom@lemmy.zip 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well I’ll never buy nvidia again

[–] Tehbaz@lemmy.wtf 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Neither. Even before seeing this I had decided my next GPU will be AMD, just because of how crap Nvidias driver support is on Linux.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

AMD is also in Israel. As is Intel.

[–] PissingIntoTheWind@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

The people the West labels as terrorists have been exploited and oppressed for generations. They don't have the resources to get into Israel and perform meaningful acts of sabotage. Actions like that are better coming from the citizens of Israel who still have a conscience. They could look to groups like Palestine Action, whose sustained sabotage efforts against an Israeli weapons manufacturer lead to the closure of at least one factory in Britain, and led to Barclays bank divesting from the company. Of course, now Palestine Action are labeled as terrorists for that...

And again I have to say Jensen Huang is a piece of shit.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

Even if one doesn't care about genocide, they should still care if their own GPU is rigged to explode.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 24 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Cool. I’m now 100% team AMD if I could even buy a guy ever again.

[–] Syndication@lemmy.today 2 points 14 hours ago

Lisa Su, the CEO of AMD, is related to Jensen Huang; they are first cousins once removed. Hopefully she doesn't closely follow Jensen's beliefs, I just thought it was something worth mentioning.

So new nvidia chip designs will include israeli rootkits, got it.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 95 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Yup. That really cements further that I will not buy Nvidia again.

Yet another reason to never buy NVIDIA cards ever again.

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 day ago

They don't want to sell you anything anymore anyways. They want you to RENT computing time.

[–] bitteroldcoot@piefed.social 63 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (28 children)

On a more practical level, why????

It takes an enormous amount of ultra pure water to make a micro chip. There is a worsening water shortage in that area. This is the worse place to do this.

Also if you built it in the eu, you have easy access to a huge market and ready customers.
Also the Middle East is constantly immersed in war. If Iran wants to really hurt Israel just start blowing up Nvidia.

On a purely practical level, this is really stupid. So the only explanations are politics, or they are being paid to do this. As to whom engineered this I have no idea.

Edit: The more I dig into it, the more this looks like evil bond villain shit.

[–] Flauschige_Lemmata@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

They aren't going to manufacture there. Chip manufacturing happens almost exclusively in Taiwan. That new building is just an office to design those chips.

A lot of maths goes into designing computer chips. You need an army of highly trained mathematicians and engineers for that.

And Israel is a really rich country that gets a lot of gifts and "investments" from people who want to show they aren't antisemitic. They invest a lot of that money into the education of their citizens.

Israel's universities are some of the best in the world. While US universities are on a steep downhill.

[–] Luminotik@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

NVIDIA doesn’t manufacture chips at all (TSMC in Taiwan makes NVIDIA’s chips), so this facility would presumably be for R&D, marketing, devising the next scheme to screw everyone over and increase share value, yada yada.

Lot of Zionists in the Nvidia board and staff trying to tie the worlds most valuable company to the Apartheid state. They want Israel to be a strategic asset like TSMC.

I was just reading Apple doing all of it’s Silicon R&D over Israel as well. Wondering what Israel is promising them to get landed with lucrative business.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 18 points 1 day ago

So now Nvidia will be the red one? You know, with all the blood shed by Israel...
