      Sweeney is a moron, but I actually hope he is right this time. It would make me very happy to see Nvidia, the mastermind company of the entire AI-bubble we are living in now, crash and burn.

      Sadly, as already stated, Sweeney is a moron, and he is most likely not right.

          Sure, but I bet the hiring window hasn’t closed yet. For now he’s just unemployed, like he could easily afford to be for the rest of his life. (If he wants to do all of us a favor.)

      I love Steve-O’s story of buying a phone with Wozniak.

      They go to the Apple store, Woz walks up to the counter and says “I’d like to use my employee discount to buy a phone.” The employee asks if he has his card, he says “no but I know my employee number.” The employee then asks for the number, expecting to get something with multiple digits, and Wozniak just replies with “One.”

      If that isn’t the biggest dick energy response to a question I’ve ever heard.

      Never. Why would prices ever drop? RAM manufacturers know what they can get away with now, because everyone needs the products this cartel is making. They also know that current prices are nowhere near the maximum of what a captive market will pay for.

      Don’t get your hopes up with China either. Demand is so high that Chinese RAM can be barely any cheaper or cost the same and still sell out. They have no interest in reducing prices either, especially since it’s extremely unlikely they are making a profit yet.

    Jensen wasn’t personally responsible for the AI boom. It was a once-in-a-career coincidence. He’s just another corporate tool.
