Quite the contrary! They effectively sell their cards at a ~20% discount to a bunch of AI companies by “investing” in the companies for a promise to use that money to buy their cards.
It’s as dumb as it sounds and textbook unsustainable economic bubble behavior, but NVidia don’t care because more sales = more stonks = more money to “invest” = more sales = more stonks = more yachts for Jensen. So what if it makes 1929 look like a walk in the park, it’s not their problem.
Because the fuckers realised they can just keep them priced like this and people will still buy them
The relationship between supply, demand, and price has been fundamentally damaged.
It always has been. It’s just worse now. The haves have always had all the power in a “free market” system.
Why doesn’t a 4090 cost $1,000,000?
It doesn’t need to. It’s already unaffordable.
Doesn’t “need” to? What does that even mean?
If the manufacturer had all the power in the relationship, the product would cost even more.

Always has been.
You don’t get to be worth 5 trillion dollars by giving out discounts…
Yeah sadly. Then sell out to big corpos doing AI and neglect the original audience for your products.
