    Oh, well if Tim Sweeney thinks it’s a bad idea…

    They should definitely do it.

      Sweeney is a moron, but I actually hope he is right this time. It would make me very happy to see Nvidia, the mastermind company of the entire AI-bubble we are living in now, crash and burn.

      Sadly, as already stated, Sweeney is a moron, and he is most likely not right.

          Sure, but I bet the hiring window hasn’t closed yet. For now he’s just unemployed, like he could easily afford to be for the rest of his life. (If he wants to do all of us a favor.)

        Ask IBM and Intel how well that works.

      Never. Why would prices ever drop? RAM manufacturers know what they can get away with now, because everyone needs the products this cartel is making. They also know that current prices are nowhere near the maximum of what a captive market will pay for.

      Don’t get your hopes up with China either. Demand is so high that Chinese RAM can be barely any cheaper or cost the same and still sell out. They have no interest in reducing prices either, especially since it’s extremely unlikely they are making a profit yet.

    I keep mumbling “Shut the fuck up, Sweeney” whenever I see this fuck utter anything. It’s becoming an unconscious response.

    IDK if it’s true but I’ve heard he’s one of the few hyper competent CEO’s. Like he actually gets what’s going on and shit. If that’s true then I kind of understand why it would be a bad idea to fire him. At the same time he was fucking a Chinese spy and giving her puppet company some sort of special treatment so I don’t see how they could possibly NOT fire him.

    Also, havent the Chinese tried the honeypot thing on a LOT of people in the tech industry? I thought this was a known thing they were doing. So was the honeypot just the excuse for allowing a bunch of cards to be funneled into China? Wouldn’t you be concerned if you were going to invite this guy to run your company that his poor judgement would strike again?

    I’m just rambling at this point. Fuck that cheating piece of shit.

      I’ve still not seen the specifics/details about the spy fucking, or at least one detail that’s really important.

      I saw stories that she’d sent like >$2 billion worth of chips to china, ‘smuggled’ those chips to china.

      The big question is, is it ‘smuggling’ as in NVIDIA didn’t get paid, or is it ‘smuggling’ as in NVIDIA saw $2 billion on the table, and said “Fuck US sanctions, we’re a company and we like money!”. I’ve a strong suspicion its closer to the latter. Especially since the USA went fascist, and started pissing off every ally – China’s a more stable business partner.

      Americans may foolishly wonder “OMG where’d our soft power go?!” – but they elected a dictator who has explicitly worked to destroy America’s reputation and soft power/influence globally. Even America ignores America’s sanctions, they declare new sanctions against Russia in the morning, then announce deals to buy diesel from Russia in the afternoon – why wouldn’t any other country or company view America’s dictates as a joke? Even SpaceX/Musk, the guy that worked at DOGE for the White House and had access to all of America’s data systems, does business regularly with Russia. The Trump’s literally welcomed a Russian oligarchs asset into their family, marrying her to Don Jr to solidify their bond, while America makes these silly motions about sanctions.

      The industry is trying to play up Jensen’s affairs as the reason for the AI route in the market. It’s an attempt to lead the media down a different path, to distract from the grass roots push back against AI / data center spends, and the unjustified stock prices of these companies given their lack of profitable products.
