Now it is official: Nvidia’s spacecraft is set to land in Kiryat Tivon. After a five-month process in which the world’s most valuable company examined several alternatives for establishing a new mega-campus in Israel, Nvidia has chosen Kiryat Tivon.

The company, currently valued at about $4.3 trillion, will purchase the land from the state for approximately NIS 90 million (approximately $28 million), making it the first international technology company in Israel to build a major campus on land it owns. Until now, the campuses of multinational giants such as Intel, Microsoft, Google, and Meta have all been located in leased properties.

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

Not defending Jensen or Israel, but want to point out that Israel has many good engineers - the Intel team that designed the Core/Core Duo/Core Quad and saved Intel from the Netburst (Pentium 4) architecture was from Israel.

They have smart people, but I definitely do not agree with their government’s actions.

  The Nazis had good engineers too. What’s the point of your comment?

    The point is that’s why Nvidia is setting up shop there. You know… the original story of this thread…
    
    Anyway, one of the Nazi’s downfall was they kept designing better and better tanks, and that ultimately required more resources to build. While the US just basically kept spamming them with simple design tanks that doesn’t require as much to build.

  Nazi Germany had millions of smart people supporting the world domination effort.

    Makes me think of the country subreddit I left not so long ago, where the members were so full of themselves and despite their intelligence they would like to commit genocide on the lower classes.

    No one mentioned smart = decent. But you can’t also assume Israeli = bad. No everyone in Israel supports its government’s actions.
    
    Imagine people elsewhere in the world assuming any random American = Nazi.

I’d love to never buy from Nvidia again if RDNA 5 can live up to the hype. Current generation AMD cards are unfortunately not cost effective for the path tracing and compute workloads I run (Blender rendering, simulations, and certain ML models). Hopefully, AMD will offer midrange cards with strong compute capabilities that don’t have artificially limited VRAM. I’m especially excited about the Radiance cores: true RTX to compete with Optix.

I’m pretty sure Israel is the capital in what is turning into a global hunger games dystopia
