Crisis Memes

So NVIDIA decided to pivot from "let's make gaming affordable" to "let's sell every GPU to AI companies for 10x the price." Gamers are out here refreshing Best Buy at 3 AM hoping to snag a GPU that doesn't cost more than their car, while Jensen Huang is literally swimming in AI money like Scrooge McDuck. The irony? GPUs were literally designed for graphics processing (hence the name), but now they're too busy training ChatGPT to write your emails to actually, you know, render your games. Gamers wanted ray tracing; instead they got the privilege of watching their dream GPU get shipped to some data center to train an AI model that generates images of cats wearing hats. Can't really blame NVIDIA though—why sell a $500 GPU to a gamer when you can sell a $30,000 H100 to OpenAI? Economics 101, baby. RIP affordable PC gaming, 1981-2023.
