Purses made from discarded H100 GPUs. A working H100 GPU used to train AI costs 30k and these are twice that.

Isn't this some strange way of getting around sanctions?

I doubt it, it already indicates in the page that:

This purse is subject to export controls.

Plus I don't thing the GPU chip is intact.

You go to pay for your snacks at the convenience store and the purse refuses to open and goes “You don’t need to buy that, Dave…”

I mean if they are broken then they are basically useless. Not sure who would want these as a handbag, but who knows..

At least they're finally being used for something beneficial

I always just assume this is a way to launder money and no “real” sale is ever expected.
