I could be the walrus. I’d still have to bum rides off people.

I seem to recall the thin-skinned narcissist changed Twitter’s tabulation for views to include people just scrolling past it instead of actual clicks.

It’s a fucking shit show in the country side.

So just like the US then.

Username relevant?

Except “free market” ideals break down when there are high barriers to entry, like… chip fabrication.

Also, that’s already what’s happening? If you don’t want to pay for nVidia, you can get AMD or Intel ARC for cheaper. So again, there’s literally no reason for nVidia to change what they’re doing.

That’s what I said.

If a GPU and a hypothetical AiPU are the same tech, but nVidia could charge more for the AiPU, then why would they make and sell GPUs?

It’s the same reason why they don’t clamp down on their pricing now: they don’t care if you are able to buy a GPU, they care that Twitter or Tesla or OpenAI are buying them 10k at a time.

Okay, but then why would anyone make non-AiPUs if the tech is the same and they could sell the same amount at a higher cost?

It’s not confusing when you learn that it’s literally the most profitable tier for Netflix. They make more per user from ad-subsidized subscriptions than they do from the ad-free subs.

All they have to do is the dance of “how much can we charge for subs and how many ads can we show before people stop paying for this tier?”

Man who never earned anything a day in his life continues streak by not earning video game achievements.

Bluesky is still running on VC cash. We haven’t seen how they plan on monetizing it yet, but if anything that is where their major fuckup will happen.
