    AMD had decades to see where the wind was blowing and offer a first-party CUDA bridge.

    NVIDIA earned this monopoly through business savvy predictions.

        Deserved never once appeared in my comment so idk what you’re trying to say.

        We live in a capitalist society. Deserved? Probably not. Earned? They’re one of the most valuable companies in the world for a reason.

          Wasn’t Nvidia the one that was caught intentionally doing things to break games on competitors drivers with their sponsored games?

          Earned isn’t the right word when you have to do shitty things and cut your competition down…

      Good business sense in the past does not give them a free pass to now assfuck every consumer (both individual and B2B) so he can buy more leather jackets. Fuck wealth-extracting corporate monopolies, fuck Jensen. Do not support such behavior.

      There’s no such thing as earning a monopoly. Even in theory a monopoly can be earned only for an infinitely small moment, until that monopoly is a result of perpetuating itself.

      And since this is intuitively obvious, I’d say every person talking about “earning a monopoly” just cannot imagine more honest ways of being successful.

      Nobody “earns a monopoly”. I’ll take advocating for the public trust over ethical bankruptcy. I’m not aware of anytime that nVidia did anything in fairness, only through high pressure antitrust tactics that border on illegal. Fuck Jensen and fuck nVidia.

      through business savvy predictions.

      More like through shoving its solutions onto everyone around.

      And nope, “earn” is a wrong word.
