Nvidia is a shareholder corporation, these creatures can be relied upon to always act in the interest of profit, and then profit, and profit comes third after that.
"What's a gamer?"

- hcks 3y agoI don’t get this comment. You’re trying to make a snarky comment about the morality of shareholder capitalism but clearly IA is a better allocation of resources than “more realistic AAAA video games”.
- jtode 3y agoYes, people should definitely get a beefy GPU and run their own AI server so that they can say "please design a mood lighting scheme for my house" and burn megawatts to set the dimmer instead of learning to use a smart switch with Home Assistant on a $100 5v SBC. Anyways, if Nvidia was pivoting out of some weird altruism attack where they suddenly decided, in defiance of their shareholders, to service the more constructive sector of AI instead of the (admittedly toxic af) gamer market, you might have something there. But they're pivoting because AI is momentarily at the top of the hype cycle and the capital is desperate for growth so there's a lot of exuberant attempts to force a bull market. That's why this is happening, sir, not for your vaunted higher social purposes of burning more power for simple tasks that people should damn well learn to do themselves. But yes, I have snark for you, if you're looking for it. The level of idiocy right now is higher than the levels of hydrogen in the universe, particularly about this new parlor trick.
