The arrogance in some of those quotes. Holy shit.

Jensen, you and your entire company could disappear without a trace, today, and the world would be just fine.

Probably better, in fact.

I get your hate, but there would be significant turmoil in the world if the largest and most advanced GPU provider disappeared. So you're sorta lying.

Scientific advances would slow and engineering tasks would also suffer from the lack of capability to run simulations. Eventually, AMD and Intel would pick up the slack and the world would start doing well again.

Yes, but, let's speculate a second.

Jensen is just a guy, nvidia is just a company. If they both disappeared, the people who are actually responsible for the company to be "one of the largest and most advanced" in the industry would still exist.

They have a specific skillset that would then be in demand. Let's say three or four of these people open new GPU chipset companies to fill the void with backing from desperate investors.

Now you have three or four advanced GPU providers all competing with each other. Who benefits the most from this?

Consumers. Us.

Calling someone a liar isn't a great way to start a discussion.

[-] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 6 days ago

First of all, you're lying and completely wrong.

Second of all, I agree.

Yes as we all know, the nuclear furnace that is the sun depends on Nvidia.

Smoke some more sparky.

I really miss the time we just considered Nvidia as a great source for graphics cards on our gaming computers.

[-] Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

Nah, we would just get great bargain basement prices on GPUs.
