I don't have a WSJ subscription, but was there actually anything weird about the deals? I mean it seems pretty normal.

It can be normal, legal and still morally bankrupt. Fuck these parasites

Forcing your customers to buy additional hardware they don't need to inflate the prices of your own product is a crime in the united states of america.
It get worse when we find out they did it to increase nvidia production for the purpose of being able to redirect more output to china.
The whole entire AI bubble was actually jensen's smuggling operation to china. These large data centers have no purpose and cost more money in power grid upgrades than any company will ever make operating them.
The only winners look to be jensen's bank account, the bank accounts of the CEOs that signed the deals to buy unneeded hardware, and the chinese buisnesses that were able to buy more nvidia graphics cards.
It is not a crime for these CEOs to drive their companies into the ground to make themselves richer. Most CEOs do this today. It is a crime if we find out all of this was really a chinese smuggling operation and that would make it the largest crime per monetary value in US history.
Everyone who made money on this smuggling ring has criminal liability. Just like with madoff, the people who withdrew gains had to pay it back because the gains weren't real. Not paying it back would make you an accomplice.

Ok that sounds interesting and it's not in this article. Where can I learn about that?

The free market where every innovation is locked up for 20 years behind patent walls? That free market?

The free market that chose of it's own volition to allow participants to either optionally utilize copyright or not?

As if we didn’t suspect this. Same with RAM makers not upping production.
It’s like the oil companies whining and fleecing us too.
What’s the move though?

Remember when Microsoft got in years of antitrust lawsuits over bundling a browser with their OS? Bring back that level of legal scrutiny to antitrust, and sever the absurdly close ties the US government has with the top 100 companies in the country.

Ram makers are more understandable since they went through this already in the past. The Koreans learned it the hard way.

People are acting like vendors extending financing to their customers is somehow irregular or illegal.
It’s not. It happens ALL THE TIME. This isn’t “circular financing” which is a great meme term but is not factual.
