You also have the circular investment. NVIDIA puts money into OpenAI. It uses that money to buy computing power from Oracle, who then fills its datacenters with hardware from NVIDIA. Everybody’s valuation rises.
Edit: valuation, not validation
Insert 2 economists eating shit joke
Go on…
Two economists are walking in a forest when they Come across a pile of shit.
The first economist says to the other “Ill pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.
They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says “l pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.
Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, “You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. can’t help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing.” “That’s not true”, responded the second economist. “We increased the GDP by $200!”
I knew this joke as two people selling a painting back and forth
Economists eating shit is funnier
Plus, at least one of the two economists got really, really hard watching his buddy eat some shit.
AMD too?
So, assuming that Intel is also on the wrong side of history as usual (and that their cards are actually good for gaming, of which I’m not convinced) , you literally can’t buy a decent gaming GPU without paying into the AI nonsense?
Look, the recent CPU lineup had AI in its name, has dedicated cores in it. Because Windows wants to do AI things or whatever.
