Google Executives Fired Over Memory Supply

Executives who fail to secure memory supply get fucking fired LMAO Google, which is pushing to sell its in-house AI accelerator TPU to external customers, is understood to have fired the executives in charge after running into a memory supply crunch. Currently, about 60% of the HBM mounted on TPUs is supplied to Google by Samsung Electronics. As recent TPU demand exceeded expectations, Google sounded out SK hynix and Micron on whether additional volume could be secured. The answer was “impossible.” Google’s management is said to have dismissed the procurement personnel responsible, holding them accountable for creating supply-chain risk by failing to sign LTAs in advance. It is a disciplinary personnel measure against the working-level staff who did not secure volume in time.

A screenshot shows a caption joking that executives who fail to secure memory supplies get fired, followed by a news-style report about Google dismissing procurement staff after failing to secure enough HBM for its TPUs. The punchline is the blunt contrast between a serious supply-chain problem and the gleeful “fucking fired LMAO” reaction, making it useful for mocking corporate incompetence and harsh accountability.
