That should be your very first clue that Nvidia needs to be broken up into smaller, competing companies.

Nvidlets?
Thank dog that their ARM purchase got torpedoed.
How do you imagine that would work?
Yeah, don't be unrealistic. We can't just have a group of competent individuals properly plan out how to dismantle a monopoly to allow for proper competition in the industry. If they don't hold onto their monopoly, how will we ever see technological advancements?

Limit them producing PCIe cards to low volume reference models and require their software to be open source to break that aspect of the lock-in, that's the two big things. As alternative to the latter, require them to have actual platform docs, right now they're not only providing the only compiler for their cards which is deliberately incompatible with everything else they're also making sure that noone else can get performance out of NVidia cards without excessive reverse-engineering, some things are even locked down hard via firmware signing. Splitting AI off from GPU would be a bonus.

Lol hilarious watching companies be ruthless then scramble to keep shit together since they only want to line exec pockets and don't tackle real issues
Fuck them, their customers, fuck their execs 🤞

I guess the monopoly has to be preserved, so that Mr. Jensen has pocket money for another leather jacket.
I did some contract work for nvidia a few years ago to build out a data center for a client in the domain of pharmaceutical research. I've never worked for any employer more hypersensitive and narcissistic than nvidia. They will waste your time and fire you on the spot if you voice any concerns.
I wonder who this riva^(md)l is.
Gaussian, the molecular modeling software company, liked to do similar shit.
No way they would do something like that!
