    And even though NVIDIA is better place as they do produce something, but the something in play has little value out of the AI bubble.

    NVIDIA could be left holding the bag on a super increased capacity to produce something that nobody wants anymore (or at least nowhere near at the levels we have now) so they are still very much exposed.

        me too, but the GPU used for AI are not the same as what we would use at home.

        maybe the factories can produce both kinds and they would be cheaper, but it is speculation at this point

      You’re delusional if you think GPUs are of little value. LLMs and fancy image generation are a bubble.

      The gargantuan computational cost of running the machine learning processing that is now required for protein folding and molecular docking is not.

        Sure, but the scientists doing those kinds of workflows don’t have anywhere near the money to burn on GPUs. Even before they had all of their funding cut off for being to gay or brown or whatever crap the Nazis have come up with.

        Sure but do you need the absolute gargantuan capacity that is being built right now for that? if so, for how long and at what cost?

        The point is not that GPU per se are of little value… the point is that what would you do with 10,000 rocket ships if you only have 1000 projects that may be able to use them? and what can those projects actually pay? can they cover the cost of the 10,000 rockets you built?
