This is a gold rush. The people who dig for gold wind up ruined, the people who sell shovels make bank.
Nvidia is selling the shovels, so of course they don’t care about the quality or usefulness of their products. They are making tons of money, that doesn’t mean there is anything worthwhile there, just like most gold rushes didn’t really lead to many folks striking gold or keeping it. Why can’t more journalists see that?

As a Californian who had the gold rush as a special interest growing up, i approve this message.
I don't like it, but it's true.

@JoscelynTransient@chaosfem.tw Because real journalism doesn’t exist anymore. Now journalism is just another vehicle for capitalism. An informercial, for all intents and purposes.
