    Jensen is actually pretty savvy, he knows exactly what it is and what’s its purpose.
    It’s whatever runs on Nvidia chips, and it’s purpose is to sell Nvidia chips.

      Yeah. It’s just the current band wagon he jumped on. Crypto was the previous one and gaming was the one before that.

      Anything to sell more chips.

        Seen like that it did help destroy the video game market. But with gamers cheering it on.

        Diablo 2, C&C, Red alert, Commandos, Point&Click, … the best games are not about 3D graphics, fight me!

            A shame there are no AAA games though. In the original sense. I bet it would work too but no, microtransactions and dark patterns it is.

        Back when videocards were mainly for playing games, Jensen specifically was very explicit about his idea that games will not sell cards forever and they need to find a way to sell cards an mass for some other purpose (I still don’t think he was right, but oh well). They did and still are doing a lot of very important scientific work, applying their stuff for research, from chemistry to astronomy, very cool stuff. Unfortunately, science pays less than virgins gambling on math equations, so that became their main focus after some time.
        But man, imagine the parallel world where we spend as much time and energy on science, as we do now on autocomplete that can fool idiots.
