Anything is more affordable than nvidia’s jacked up prices. The key will be whether it provides enough performance for the difference in price to be worth it. I’m not interested in paying about half a thousand dollars for a single part either way.

True, and maybe I’m playing a losing game by arguing within that context, but I did want to point out that even under those conditions the “logical fallacy” doesn’t fit.

That’s horrible. I should Google for more information so I can avoid using companies involved with the military.

Pointing out hypocrisy is not whataboutism. Whataboutism is when you bring up a separate topic as a criticism to distract from the original topic. For example, if you make fun of my cooking and I bring up your drawing skills in response, that’s whataboutism. If you suck at cooking and yet bring up me sucking at cooking, that’s just pointing fingers and trying to paint that as a negative for someone else when you possess the same deficiency.

I’m just pointing it out bro, nothing more bro, just mentioning it bro, nothing wrong with constantly running negative stories about China bro, not manufacturing anything bro.

The assumption is that they’ll develop some kind of moat, but there are plenty of other AI models on offer or in development. It would also be useless capturing a market when the companies that would be their customers realize they’re not making money on the AI themselves.

With OpenAI being at the center of the AI hype, I would’ve thought they’d be raking in the dough instead of losing $5 billion. So it’s really just Nvidia making money on this bullshit, huh? It’ll hurt when the hype dies down and Nvidia drops from the second top spot on the S&P 500. We’re all going to feel that one.

That’s not how research and development works.
