They got their video taken down over a copyright strike, link to post on YT
Here’s a mirror on internet archive.
I found the intro hook intriguing, but the reporting starts with a lot of media clips and other run-ups, which eventually made me leave.
It’s great they put in so much effort into genuine, on-site reporting, but the already long video report feels even more bloated/filled this way.
I have to wonder if the DMCA was due to the news clips. While they may be fair use for contextualized reporting, I didn’t find them particularly valuable, and DMCA issues could have been avoided without them or without using so many of them.

They have said that Bloomburg footage of trump talking about GPUs was the claim. They probably did play a little too fast and loose with copyrighted footage.
Exactly the same - I was very interested in the premise but struggled to make it past this section, too, for the same reasons you’ve mentioned. Would certainly agree that these clips should’ve been used more sparingly, as it’s a bit of a slog otherwise.
Is there a tldw somewhere before I watch 3.5 hours?
TL;DW:
US banned sales of a certain class of high performance graphic cards to China.
It is actually possible to purchase those cards in China. And it is not very hard to do so.
The prices of said cards in China are quite similar to the ones in the US.
A lot of big players in the market are not happy with the truth presented in this piece by Gamers Nexus.
edit: grammar.
Personal opinion: In this video, there is a demonstration of how a card can have the VRAM enhanced(48GB) and a GPU moved from a PCB to another PCB.
The manufacturers say that VRAM is expensive. I do not think that! Sustainability is possible if it is wanted.
Louis Rossmann has commented on the situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RJvrTC6oTI
Yeah that’s a lot of time for something I have no idea about.
I found it fascinating beyond just the geopolitics of video cards (although the existence of that right there is wild).
It’s a really neat look inside China with “real people” (not trade shows, uptight salesmen, or politicians). I don’t speak Chinese but it also seemed like Steve Burke had spent a lot of effort learning. He seems very talented and smart while staying humble. That’s rare.
Despite it being a 3 hour video about smuggling, the most discomforting thing for me was the left-handed driving in HK and I find that hilarious.
That’s just his schtick. Dude and his team make other journalists look like dog shit! I dropped some money on them a year ago for merch. The brass Moscow Mule cups made fantastic drinks for my wife and me and the coasters made for really good workplace Christmas gifts for nerdy coworkers! If you’re looking for some holiday gifts coming up, I recommend them. The quality is superb!
Downloading the torrent so i can seed it on 2.5Gb fiber
They should put it up on peertube and get some visibility for the platform
I’m sure this takedown will in no way bring attention to this video.
iirc theyre active on reddit talking about the situation. basically bloomberg lawyers probably striked it for a segment they included in the video, but GN thinks theyre fine because itll be covered by fair use. Basically nothing to do with the parties involved in the topics of the video.
I’d buy this on a bluray.
Thanks for the heads-up, added the internet archive torrent to seed up to 25MB/s
From what I understand, Bloomberg is one who placed copyright strike on video. Google would need to take a supremacist view towards the content, and supremacist deference to Bloomberg, to understand validity of complaint. What Bloomberg content was featured in documentary, and does it have any basis for unfair use claim?
Prohibition does not work. Documentary showed some 5090 prices in Hong Kong street boutique to be same price as online US availability. It would take monumental geopolitical leverage (with bribery, loss of reserve geopolitical capital) to isolate China which is a 5x+ larger tech market than US. Geopolitical leverage the US is rapidly losing by attacking entire world simultaneously. Singapore is not going to prevent Singapore companies from profiting, hopefully paying taxes, including from employees, to Singapore, would require tremendous US government donations/complete corrupt bribery for Singapore to take “Philippines suicide pact” (Marcos tradition) approach to war on China.
The documentary does show US policy impotence. New geopolitical US posture though is “China must be enslaved to CUDA technology so as to prevent Huawei/SMIC dominance” while China is saying “NVIDIA is a US military controlled agent intent on diminishing China, whose equipment cannot be trusted, and not purchased”
Impotence, necessary supply chain complicity, and imminent collapse of US strategy/policy is what needs to be protected from American consciousness. It is telling that Bloomberg and Google see themselves as such propaganda enforcers. This is more of a deep state CIA favour rather than Trump Administration favour, but neither are acts of nobility.
I’m dowloading a backup and will be seeding it. 😄
Also added to my seedbox
Did the same HERE. I will switch it private when the good one come back on Gamers Nexus channel.
I’m a bout an hour in on this. Utterly wild. Fantastic journalism.
I started ripping it in Youtube the night it was released! knew this BS would happen.
Just downloaded it. Thanks my guy.
Currently pulling via yt-dlp as well.
Damn I didn’t get to watch it. Thank Talos for the IA. I’ll add to the torrent when I get home in the morning.
After all the shit with LTT do they think GN is gonna go quietly?
Why the 1.1gb video hosted in the internet archive has a “.ai” in its name?
It has .ia in the file name because it was processed with the Internet Archive’s MP4 tool which optimises the file for streaming by moving some content in the file around. Very common for Internet Archive files and nothing to do with AI.
Why does it matter?
Curiosity matters.
