New details reveal that former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang used circular financing to fund AI startups and absorb excess TSMC wafers and memory rather than letting GPU prices drop
I mean bootlicking aside, they’re not wrong. Jensen’s a corpo and they will always chase profits. Sometimes stooping to borderline illegal maneuvers like this price fixing thing or the ram cartel. In an ideal world these fuckers would get prosecuted and do jail time, but as it stands we are somewhat at their whims. That’s why I don’t get this entitlement with affordable gpu’s - they’re high tech components and for a while they were more affordable but gamers are no longer the most profitable market so yhings change. There was no “betrayal” and no “abandonment” because no one owes gamers anything, just like they don’t owe the companies anything. Shit’s bkt affordable? Short of a class action lawsuit, tough luck, adapt and move on, because it looks like we’re heading back to the gpu wild west of the late 90s.
