Nvidia is only begging because they didn't realise that putting out a free product that essentially makes most work redundant would bite them in the ass as it would mean less people able to buy their products.
Oh, and because they're worried about what happens when they start charging the companies who fired everyone the real price of the AI service they're currently providing for free.
Nvidia is not selling AI, they sell the hardware the AI runs on. They're selling shovels in this gold rush, but they forgot the one golden rule: "Cash up front".
