🔴 They stole two Nvidia trucks believing they contained valuable GPUs, but found themselves with 10 tons of sand

It's no secret that GPUs are worth their weight in gold these days. Furthermore, with the ongoing RAM crisis driving prices skyrocketing, GPUs have become both rare and incredibly expensive. That's probably what some thieves thought, too. They stole two Nvidia-branded trailers, thinking they were getting a shipment of expensive GPUs. But they ended up with nothing (10 tons of sand).

According to Wired, thieves stole two trailers bearing Nvidia and PlusAI logos in Newark, California, last week, but instead of expensive hardware, they were each loaded with 20,000 pounds of sand. It's unusual for a tech company to load a trailer, but Nvidia and PlusAI have teamed up to test autonomous trucks and trailers filled with sand to simulate heavy loads.
