Buy up scarce resources which are being used for bad things and just sit on them. Like the thing where you buy rainforest to prevent logging. Coal mines, agricultural land used for animals, GPUs?!
Interesting idea! I think this works much better when supply is constrained, eg land, and not when supply is elastic (eg GPUs). I’m curious whether anyone has actually tried this

Feels like buying GPUs would just increase their production.
That’s true. I just listened to the most recent 80k podcast where they joke about buying up GPUs so it was in my head :)
Haha, fair :)
