❗️The EU plans to impose sanctions on a record 1,600 companies for assisting Russia, Bloomberg reports. According to sources, the combined annual turnover of these firms exceeds $20 billion, and they employ 265,000 people. If adopted, the list of EU-sanctioned entities would grow by 50%. At the same time, the economic impact is likely to be smaller than that of previous packages targeting Russia’s oil industry and banking system. Officials plan to circulate the proposal in the coming weeks so that national capitals have time to review it, with the sanctions expected to be adopted at a meeting of foreign ministers in October.

Jensen will do anything to keep "neocloud" business off Nvidia's balance sheet, and will do anything to drive demand, even as rising costs start to weigh on the neoclouds and the funding currently provided by dilution, debt, and SPVs isn't enough.

So Jensen came up with an idea: Nvidia itself will sign a lease from a datacenter builder. Nvidia will provide the components to reduce the cost for the datacenter builder, in this case Hut 8, and will then sublease this lease to one of its independent SPVs, a neocloud, e.g. CoreWeave, and the latter will enjoy RPO, showing "demand," and will provide this to a startup, hyperscaler, or OpenAI and Nvidia can book the revenue of the GPUs.

Win/win, until it's lose

There is a reason $NVDA’s 5 year credit default swaps are going parabolic. All this overreaching by #nvda to push the circular spending to biblical proportions .
