You really should disclose that you’re a founder when you mention your company like that
Don't die on this hill, just do the decent thing and add a disclosure. This doesn't show you in a good light.
And yes, yours was an instance of self-marketing, even if unintentional, by name-dropping your company alongside power players like Meta and Tesla. You put yourself on people’s radar as a GPU-intensive company.
"Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity."
What I posted, just the name of my company, was entirely within the bounds of common courtesy.
Of course, I do want to put myself on people's radar... I am building a GPU-intensive company and I'm making a small relevant comment on a thread.
I looked it up. Over the years, there has been endless bike shed discussion on this topic, such as:

I think that it is smart of the moderators here to simply sit on the sidelines and not try to control the discussion of this too much.
“Oracle is set to use…”
“Elon Musk implies…”
Not one of them have actually bought anything. AMD is just muddying the waters by grouping HPC sales with AI. It’s nonsense.
Edit: I see you’ve got a startup on MI300x hardware. Now it makes sense, I guess - you need to believe. Good luck!
AMD isn't shipping in large volume yet, but MI300x instances can be spun up in preview on Azure today with availability ramping up. Microsoft has absolutely bought a lot of MI300x.
Or maybe I know things you don't. =)
