Reminds me of the pre-prohibition era where distilleries often paid their workers by giving them liquor (payment in kind) to manage liquidity issues.

This looks like a clever way to try to compete for talent without continuing to ratchet up pay, allowing Nvidia to continue to expand their debt without needing additional cash.

It's not clever or a new idea. Every company would want to save money by paying their employees in their own product to the extent they could get away with it. Workers have just been smart enough and organized enough not to fall for it in recent history.
