Reminder: there are no video outputs on these chatbot data center processors driving up the prices of graphics cards.

So they can’t even sell as used GPUs to crash the consumer GPU price market when the AI bubble pops.

This is a reminder that businesses aren’t “money focused calculation machines that optimize for the maximum possible profit.” They don’t worry about every little dollar, they just print money and use it to control you.

Raising prices for you is the goal, not a byproduct of some other smarter plan.

Some people don’t need the rest of this post, and it’s very long, so I’ll put it in a comment.

    wouldn’t it be smart for these companies to bid a bit more if they could, to make these builds with more resellable parts instead of using these crazy server rack combo platters?

    Their customers don’t care about if they are resellable. They just want GPUs.

    We aren’t their customers, and I mean this in the most literal sense possible. You can’t buy these. They only sell them to big companies.

    Yes, it’s shit.
