Presumably, this person thinks so because a lot of the cost of running an AI company is buying GPUs, which is mostly going to NVidia. The implication with this headline is that NVidia is propping up sales or driving demand by giving money to startups who will combine it with other investors money and eventually pay it back to NVidia. Is it a Ponzi scheme? Not strictly, but is interesting to see a company investing in their customers. There’s nothing wrong with doing so, but it’s interesting to see it at a time when demand is so high it can’t be sated.
