alt Hacker NewsIf we cant' build the hardware fast enough. Can someone explain to me why there's apparently 50% of the gpu and memory that hyperscalers buy sitting in warehouses due to lack of data centers? The hyperscalers are hoarding tech and can't even use it. It's ridiculous.

That depends on how long it’s sitting there, given they are two different things to manage it makes sense that you’d either have gpus sitting unused while a dc gets built or a dc sitting empty while you wait for gpus.
They could probably rush them to production, but it's added logistics and would lead to the parts degrading faster.
I dont understand how this comment connects to the linked research paper. Anyone?
Because slowing down compute purchase is collapsing the hype train which is the same as death. Vibes are a wave that must be maintained or crash down onto reality.
There are reports and rumours that NVIDIA are forcing the data centre companies to buy the GPUs upfront. Though there isn't a lot of clear evidence that this is the case.
