Sweeney demonstrates once again that he's disconnected from reality

Rich people are so alienated they have no idea that they're completely useless.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 12 points 1 day ago

tim sweeny provides comedic relief.

So when does RAM become affordable?

[–] DdCno1@beehaw.org 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] QueenHawlSera@piefed.social 1 points 17 hours ago

Yeah, but no one can afford it and we need RAM to play Psuedoregalia on the Steam

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 216 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Oh, well if Tim Sweeney thinks it's a bad idea...

They should definitely do it.

[–] axh@lemmy.world 79 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I also agree Felon Musk should hire him, and grant access to vital confidential information, just to prove the point.

[–] pticrix@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Watch out what you wish for, all the government data DOGE hoovered up is probably in there.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] scops@reddthat.com 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Also, Huang just resigned. Tim's a bit late to the party

[–] BartonFink@piefed.zip 1 points 17 hours ago

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.)

[–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 2 points 1 day ago

I doubt that NVIDIA will crash and burn because you removo one person.

I keep mumbling "Shut the fuck up, Sweeney" whenever I see this fuck utter anything. It's becoming an unconscious response.

I'm going to edit this GIF later once I'm home:

Steve Jobs was an asshole, if you are going to idolize someone make it Woz.

Fuck Steve Jobs.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 64 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] krashmo@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Then the cashier said "that's not a valid number" and asked him to leave. The end.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

The Woz pulled out a several sheets of uncut $2 bills and paid that way cause he's a wildcard.

[–] TachyonTele_Esq@piefed.social 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

These people don't give af about Woz.

[–] MrSelfDestruct@reddthat.com 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Motherfuckers act like they forgot about Woz.

IDK if it's true but I've heard he's one of the few hyper competent CEO's. Like he actually gets what's going on and shit. If that's true then I kind of understand why it would be a bad idea to fire him. At the same time he was fucking a Chinese spy and giving her puppet company some sort of special treatment so I don't see how they could possibly NOT fire him.

Also, havent the Chinese tried the honeypot thing on a LOT of people in the tech industry? I thought this was a known thing they were doing. So was the honeypot just the excuse for allowing a bunch of cards to be funneled into China? Wouldn't you be concerned if you were going to invite this guy to run your company that his poor judgement would strike again?

I'm just rambling at this point. Fuck that cheating piece of shit.

[–] wampus@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

I've still not seen the specifics/details about the spy fucking, or at least one detail that's really important.

I saw stories that she'd sent like >$2 billion worth of chips to china, 'smuggled' those chips to china.

The big question is, is it 'smuggling' as in NVIDIA didn't get paid, or is it 'smuggling' as in NVIDIA saw $2 billion on the table, and said "Fuck US sanctions, we're a company and we like money!". I've a strong suspicion its closer to the latter. Especially since the USA went fascist, and started pissing off every ally -- China's a more stable business partner.

Americans may foolishly wonder "OMG where'd our soft power go?!" -- but they elected a dictator who has explicitly worked to destroy America's reputation and soft power/influence globally. Even America ignores America's sanctions, they declare new sanctions against Russia in the morning, then announce deals to buy diesel from Russia in the afternoon -- why wouldn't any other country or company view America's dictates as a joke? Even SpaceX/Musk, the guy that worked at DOGE for the White House and had access to all of America's data systems, does business regularly with Russia. The Trump's literally welcomed a Russian oligarchs asset into their family, marrying her to Don Jr to solidify their bond, while America makes these silly motions about sanctions.

The industry is trying to play up Jensen's affairs as the reason for the AI route in the market. It's an attempt to lead the media down a different path, to distract from the grass roots push back against AI / data center spends, and the unjustified stock prices of these companies given their lack of profitable products.

Tim Sweeney finds another way to NOT learn when to shut the fuck up.

Update: he's already been replaced https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-announces-ceo-transition

I guess they were just waiting for tim's disapproval lol

[–] aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 9 points 1 day ago

Interim. Replacement yet to come.

[–] Kronusdark@lemmy.world 54 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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

We need to stop assuming CEOs are geniuses. They are just average at best but with antisocial tendencies.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They do manage to transfer their antisocial traits to their companies tho, so, as someone who's been holding a grudge with nVidia for over 20 years, I'm happy to see him go.

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Unfortunately his cousin is currently doing the same to AMD

CEO telling each other that they are the only reason for success of their company.

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

Shouldn’t you be thinking of new innovative ways to steal money from kids, Tim?

Of course Tim would hire someone who compromised US national security.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Getting scared Timmy?

You been fucking up way worse than Jensen lately.

People with money are putting a lot of "spin" on this story already. Social media posts like "so what if a CEO has affairs, if he's doing a good job??" etc.

They all conveniently ignore the Affair With a Chinese Spy part. That's the part where he was not doing a good job, and it's an important part.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Well, I'd say his affair with a subordinate was problematic as well, but the treason is pretty important.
