"Meanwhile, NVIDIA continued matching donations to U.S. and Israeli groups that are building on West Bank settlements recognized by the UN as illegal under international law, as well as providing material support to the IDF and volunteer settler militias. Motherboard viewed live pages for these organizations on NVIDIA’s charity portal. "

This is fucked up even on the ground of increasing cost of living. While employees struggle to cover expenses, companies donate money for illegal housing on Palestinians lands in the west bank.

These companies that works on "settlement" do not need to be charitable organization in the first place. This is beyond fucked up...

"Morally bankrupt corporation attempts to farm good PR, then reverses course, pissing off both sides and failing at what they set out to do."

I expect nothing less from Nvidia.

More like trying to do something just because (read: FOMO) only to fuck up spectacularly.

Nvidia is courting military contracts for their ML tech.

That's it for me. I'm not buying Nvidia products ever again.

Makes no sense why they'd be involved in this at all, wtf
