I had to close the GN vid after he said Russia is allegedly using AI to surveil their citizens.
Like yeah Steve. Conveniently never mention the genocide being committed using AI in the most dystopian way possible. Or anything regarding Israel ever, such as NVIDIA building a multi billion dollar tech campus in Israel right now.
I’m as against Israel’s war crimes as the next guy, but I don’t see why some people try to shoehorn it into completely irrelevant topics.
The video is about GPUs being smuggled into China, as well as the futility of this GPU export ban.
It is not about middle eastern geopolitics. That’s why middle eastern geopolitics wasn’t mentioned.
So why did it mention Russia allegedly using AI to spy on its citizens?
Because USA has similar restrictions on Russia for these powerful GPUs. Because Russia is just over the boarder from China. Because its another example. Just because Steve gave us a few examples, of countries using ai tech, dosent mean we need an exhaustive list of every example in the world.
It sure is convenient Steve only ever brings up Russia and never Israel. That is not weird whatsoever. Ignoring the Holocaust elephant in the room.

Are you genuinely going to nitpick a video focusing on the black market for gpus… about not calling out your specific concern? My dude, I’d advise you to find perspective that isn’t up your own ass.

Yes. It was a hillarious double standard showcasing how biased the reporter is and unwilling to speak the truth. There is nothing to learn from such bad journalism.

… opposed to the journalist speaking about a topic they set out to cover without derailing things … and still producing in excess of 3 hours of distilled content. You are exactly what is wrong with the current social media. There are thousands of topics speaking directly about the subject you are concerned with. Go partake in those. You aren’t shedding light on something - you are virtue signalling. You aren’t being a good steward - you are being a disruptive cunt.

GamersNexus chose to derail things. With rumors about Russia instead of mentioning Israel committing a literal genocide with AI. And they purposely avoid talking about Israel in every single of their videos.
They choose to make their videos political and make political statements. But the hypocrisy on this is too glaring.
