NVIDIA’s AI Lovefest with Korea’s Tech Giants – Because Apparently, World Domination Needs More Partners

Right, so NVIDIA’s at it again — that Silicon Valley silicon-slinging overlord just decided it wasn’t enough to own the GPU market and watch everyone trip over their own cables trying to feed their “AI transformation” fantasies. No, this time they’ve jumped into bed with pretty much all of South Korea — Hyundai, Samsung, SK Telecom, and Naver — because what better way to flex global dominance than forming a nerd Voltron of companies with enough processing power to melt the planet?

Jensen “Leather Jacket” Huang is out there shaking hands, grinning like a cat that just ate the semiconductor canary, bragging about how NVIDIA’s AI stuff will now help Korea build “smart factories,” “connected cars,” and “cloud-based AI ecosystems.” Translation: he’s selling them the same damn chips they already can’t buy enough of, but now with more buzzwords and friendly photo ops. Hyundai wants self-driving everything, Samsung wants to shove AI into every phone toaster and washing machine, SK wants AI networks that don’t crap out under load, and Naver… well, they just want to remind everyone they exist.

NVIDIA’s making damn sure it stays the dealer in this global AI casino — everyone else brings the money and the desperation; Huang brings the chips. Literally. The result? Korea gets to brag about being an “AI powerhouse,” and NVIDIA walks away laughing all the way to the bank, probably using ChatGPT to count the billions.

So yeah — another week, another power grab by the green logoed overlord of graphics and greed. Meanwhile, the rest of us just sit here watching our GPUs cost more than a used car. Fantastic. Truly fucking fantastic.

Reminds me of that time I let a manager “partner” with me on a server upgrade. I handed them the screwdriver, they handed me a fried motherboard. Never again.
