THE NVIDIA AI GPU BLACK MARKET (3.5 HOUR VIDEO)

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

This documentary features direct interviews with smugglers, dealers, and manufacturers across Hong Kong and Shenzhen, documenting how export-controlled chips flow from US Facebook Marketplace sales to Chinese warehouses. Reporters filmed transactions with smugglers buying RTX 4090s for $2,000 and buying modified cards from underground shops to turbocharge GPUs beyond what Nvidia offers. NVIDIA dismissed the smuggling evidence as "tall tales."
