    What worries me isn’t why: “we got to sell to big datacentres, fuck desktop customers”.

    Or the AI bubble bursting: even if generative models find some use cases, they won’t justify the investment, so nVidia’s “shovel seller in a gold rush” situation will end.

    Or what nVidia will do afterwards: “fuck, we need desktop customers to buy our things as they did.”

    What worries me is that, once nVidia goes through all silly dance, suckers will still go back to buying nVidia, tails waggling, almost as if saying “call me a good boi”.

      Nvidia won’t recover from this…AMD is going to sweep the market, which will mean games are built to be AMD first

      It takes decades to recover from a misplay like this. They just handed over the market on a silver platter, the fuck you to gamers barely even matters

        You mean the same AMD that just announced a deal where they’re devoting 20% of their CPU AND GPU production to Meta AI?

        Yeah, they aren’t going to be doing crap for gamers either.
