Thieves hunting Nvidia AI chips steal 18 tons of sand
Original: Hunting Nvidia AI chips, thieves make off with 18 tons of sand
Thieves looking for valuable Nvidia AI chips made off with 18 tons of sand, according to reports from Ynetnews. The haul suggests the perpetrators mistook the material for the high-demand semiconductors, or that the theft exposed how desperate the market for AI hardware has become. Details about the location, the victims and whether any chips were actually recovered remain unknown.
Why now: The bizarre mix-up between worthless sand and scarce, hugely valuable Nvidia AI chips highlights the frenzy around AI hardware at a time when the chips are in critically short supply.
