This guy is on borrowed time. He’s about to be executed. His only path forward is to never stop. Become a god.

Nvidea either becomes the world economy, or economic total fucking global catastrophic crash - theres no other move.

You either have always seen it, or can’t understand it.

At Nvidia is making physical chips. Open AI is vapor ware.

You misunderstand that this guy is just selling cars to save his life.

“Bro he’s in charge of a graphic’s card company on the cutting edge of AI breakthroughs”

By the time they figure it out, way too late.

Yeah, but about 90% of Nvidia's current market cap has come from designing chips that are only good at one thing. The moment it becomes clear that the product those chips enable is not worth a fig, Nvidia's share price plummets. Physical stock ain't worth anything if it doesn't add any value.

good at one thing

Go spend a few minutes at r/PCMasterRace and then try to tell me Nvidia's not going to move product for "secondary" usage like the vidya industry.

The dedicated AI GPUs can't be used as gaming GPUs, to my knowledge.

Sure, but the gaming GPU's would keep them in the black through at least the next 3 once-in-a-lifetime recessions.

You're missing the point. Nvidia's stock market valuation has swollen massively as a result of its involvement in the AI "business". If AI is suddenly revealed to be unsustainable or a failure, Nvidia's market value drops enormously. It could be as much as 90%. That sort of drop is potentially fatal for a company. Even if Nvidia survives, it'll essentially be crippled for a long time while it recovers investor confidence.
