Shovel manufacturer says everyone should get access to a shovel, even for picking apples. I see, nothing new in the west today.

Please don't post sneering dismissals on HN. The guidelines make it clear we're trying for something better here. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Bro this place hasn't had a sense or enforcement of the guidelines for years.

More like "Global metal producer advocates for allowing the use of Chinese shovels in America". Still very predictable.

He’s not selling shovels, though. His product isn’t even the only one anymore. He says “people should be allowed to dig for gold”. Maybe with pitchforks and spoons, but dig. Shovels are secondary.

How does the advertisement process work exactly? $FAMOUSPERSON joins platform and makes their first post. Were they a nobody, it would be screaming into the void.

Does the celebrity contact news outlets, “Hey guys, I joined Twitter, I will make my first post soon.”

Equally amusing because Huang could call any media organization on the planet and have a full interview that day.

It only takes at most a few dozen folks to start it trending and then it starts to proliferate through the entire feed until it has tens of thousands of likes. It's not hard to find that many people to hit like on something like that.

Employees get told to like and repost. In any large company chances are there are multiple people with large audiences.

But the novelty of a tweet amplifies the message.

Not meant to be either pro or anti Jensen Huang, but of course the guy making nearly infinite amounts of money selling shovels is going to advocate for the position of having the maximum amount of shovel buyers.

Please don’t post generic dismissals on HN. Where here for thoughtful conversation. If you want to say something, try to say something that isn’t the same negative take that first comes to anyone’s mind if they want to say something negative. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Please give me an example of what anyone should say about this completely non-news story, so I know how to reply in the future.

Guy says exactly what everyone would expect him to say. Not news. But tisk tisk if you say that.

HN really is circling the drain.

This feels like Nvidia's strategy doesn't really care about the few companies they invested to pushing frontier AI, but about scaling up the amount of GPUs/datacenters needed; open models forcing more GPU purchases would drive that faster than 2 frontier labs ever could. It's likely also attractive to anyone running a GPU rental business like AWS, Azure etc. who can offer more models.
