>Nvidia also spends a metric shit ton of money to make sure professors use and teach on their platform.

Do you have a source for this claim? Or do you simply mean that since they spend money making it better that professors end up using it on their own accord?

I hold an NVidia instructors cert from when I worked in academia. They even give you access to hardware while you’re running courses on it. It’s super easy and totally free.

I won an Nvidia GPU while I was doing my advanced graphics course for making custom shaders.

Had to buy a new power supply just so I could use it.

They co-author the definitive CUDA textbook, and it's based on their sponsored class (You can find the story in the intro of the book.) https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Massively-Parallel-Proces...

Co authoring a book is not "metric shit ton of money".

No, I think it’s a source for the claim and not the actual evidence of what they spent it on.
