I hate all these mother fuckers
Shovel maker props up mining corporations to ensure he can keep selling more shovels.
all our 401ks are just gonna disappear thanks to this guy huh?
Oh on definitely not. Elon and Trump will be doing their part too.
team work makes the dream work ! 😜
im never gonna retire…
oh great, a fresh nightmare to worry about, thanks!
You can’t make this shit up. Bubbliest bubble of all bubbles.
The whole Jensen situation is summed up in this song
Manufactured scarcity.
A civilized nation would have laws against this kind of thing. Anti-trust? Price-fixing?
Wait, wasn’t this obvious for couple of years already? We knew about the circlejerk between Nvidia and AI companies for quite some time now. What’s the news here?
They have a scapegoat to drop all of the blame on.
It’s now official
You should hear what we do with extra food.
While Jensen can’t be faulted for making these moves because he was keeping the best interests of the company in mind, it’s a stab in the back for gamers and hardware owners who are unable to locate any mouth-watering deals for GPUs or memory because of the perceived shortage.
I really dislike this final paragraph. In one sentence, it both attempts to absolve Jensen of all fault in the current shortage, and frames gamers and hardware enthusiasts as entitled babies crying about the lack of amazing sales. Rather than the reality of high-end GPUs requiring you to take out a loan at this point, if you can even find one. I don’t need a “mouth-watering deal”, I’ll settle for affordable, thanks.
It has a point in that Jensen was not alone in these decisions and the real blame should be placed on Nvidia as a whole. The headline pins the blame solely on Jensen, using him as a scapegoat while the actual company dodges blame and continues its anti-consumer practices.
Be nice, fraud was in the company’s best interest
Crazy final paragraph. The whole article is about Nvidia has artificially created scarcity for its products by funding AI start ups to buy it’s products.
It is effectively buying back its own products. This alongside the circular payment systems between AI companies and Nvidia is destined to end very very badly. It can only work while the market grows and share prices go up. It is destined to be one catastrophic collapse when things go the other way.
This is only possible because the stock market is a fucking Ponzi scheme
Few groups have been bigger apologists for their corporate abusers than capital-G Gamers. They would have followed Nvidia into hell itself so long as Huang blew even the thinnest wisps of smoke up their unwashed asses. Discovering that their hardware suppliers have only ever used them for their money has seriously hurt their egos and broken their brains.
It’s like Gamers thought they were dating the most popular kid in school, only to discover that they were only hanging out with Gamers because Gamers’ mom had an old Mustang that she like them drive. Now they’re dating someone rich college student who owns a Porche, and they’re not returning Gamers’ calls, and they’re going through all of the phase of teenage grief.
And don’t forget tech “reviewers” like Linus who badmouth Nvidia and then only show their fucking GPUs in every video that isn’t an AMD benchmark
TIL no matter what you do it’s always justified as long as you’ve had your company’s interest on your mind

That is exactly what the tobacco and oil companies have been arguing for decades.
Killing your customers or the planet are much less important things than constantly increasing corporate revenue.
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.
Capturing the hardware market to leverage control of the promises of AI.
I want to beat Altman and Huang mercilessly.
Luigi 'em both. Fuck it, all billionaires, without exception.
From the article:
While Jensen can’t be faulted for making these moves because he was keeping the best interests of the company in mind,….
I’m pretty sure he can be faulted for manipulating the market. 😂 I’m sure there is a law somewhere that says this is illegal. Maybe start looking at anti-trust laws.
Unfortunately, the US hasn’t had a functioning government in over a decade.
Maybe start looking at anti-trust laws.

Who the fuck came up with this bullshit? OF COURSE we can fault them. That’s the same kind of logic as saying that we can’t fault the Nazis because they were “just doing their job”.
Haven’t we known that Nvidia was paying people to buy their hardware for a while now?
It’s been known in the anti-AI spaces, but not necessarily in the mainstream.
Yes. But normies didn’t.
No, everyone knew, the line kept going up though so no consequence
This makes my blood boil.
The
arrow must go upbubble must inflate.
