To disarm the big tech bomb, including “AI”, the public needs to be on high alert — as AI firms start to visibly wobble, we need clear demands and firm commitments from our leaders that if it all comes crashing down, the public won’t be the one left holding the bag.
You can’t buy a GPU NOW, and if Microsoft is so over committed to AI that it takes them out entirely and they completely tank when the bubble pops, then we were in far more danger from their bad decisions than we are of losing them.
I know it’s scary. It should be. We are all in grave danger because of them. There IS no good outcome here and they knew, or should have known that before they started down this road. If we keep saving them from their bad decisions, they’re just going to keep making them.
GPUs are available right now. Just not at MSRP because they don’t dare having real world/market rate in their ads.
Right, like that makes a gigantic difference. The Hope Diamond exists to, but 45ct diamonds aren’t a consumer good.

Yeah, but diamonds can be bought with ease. So can the 5090, if you got the money.
And most diamonds and GPUs aren’t… Those.
Yeah, I can buy a 10 year old 1080. If someone Thanos Snapped Nvidia out of existence tomorrow that will still be true. AMD and Intel aren’t nearly as far out over their skis as Nvidia and someone’s going to pick up their IP portfolio. TSMC doesn’t care who is ordering the chips they print, they’re just going to print whatever makes them money. So yeah, it sucks to work for Nvidia in that case. It sucks, though not nearly as hard, to be deeply invested in Nvidia, but they didn’t have to bet the farm on Tulips either.
