If you genuinely think they care about making a mere thousand bucks on a lumpy graphics card then you have been sleeping under a rock. Their costumers are Amazon, Microslop and Meta. Not you or me.
Now, yes. Not 10-15 years ago. Not 20 years ago when GPGPU was still a rather obscure concept. The Nvidia problem isn't new regardless of how younglings and newly-enlightened seem to think so.
I am perfectly aware but that does not mean you should continue to buy from them, they still make money from them and they are evil as fuck also, when companies will inevitably start to buy less from Nvidia, it will be a problem for them
Okay so you've been sleeping under a rock so let me explain. You're basically saying to not buy GPUs full stop because all those companies are terrible. But even if Nvidia sold 0 consumer GPUs for the rest of the year it wouldn't affect them. Virtually all their stock value comes from the industry going full AI slop and no consumer choice we make with our tiny baby wallets can make them change course now. There is not enough money in the end consumer PC parts market for them to actually care because AI companies pay them so much more.
So paying the worst of the worse companies is okay for you? Hell nah, that's bullshit
Also, the AI bubble will not survive forever, it will eventually end and if Nvidia loses it's place in the consumer market, it will be half dead
Nvidia isn't the worst of the worst so as long as intel exists. And what makes you think others aren't just as focused on AI anyway? Seems like a gross oversight on your part. You should look into those other companies when you find the time.
