Would you prefer that  Cook take over and run Nvidia? I am at a loss for words.

 

President Trump says Apple’s Tim Cook is the only man to replace Jensen Huang as Nvidia CEO

 

 

 

 

For business-facing markets it is not too far fetched, but hiring that clown for anything that relates to gaming and PC performance enthusiast interests it would be an idiotic decision. Someone like that nutjob would just perpetuate the likelihood of PC gaming and enthusiast interests continuing to be marginalized and no longer a relevant business pursuit. One need look no further than the crApple product stack and the $hitshow that their garbage represents.

Jensen came up from the GPU market, so I think he might have had at least some desire to have the fastest GPU and maintain a reputation.

We could end up with someone who looks at the numbers and goes "who needs geforce?" and just kills the consumer side.

Exactly. And a clown like Cook would be the kind of moron to take that position.

We are living in dark times worldwide and things stand to get much worse in the near future. Wickedness is a way of life now. Setting aside all of the extremely undesirable political troubles and inevitable fallout looming on the horizon and focusing on the technology space, a huge part of it is a concerted effort to monetize everything and convert personal computing into a subscription model in every way possible. The big players don't want PC enthusiasts or general computer users to own long-lasting, powerful and capable hardware or locally installed software that allows a buy-once/use forever scenario to occur. We can say we "don't blame them from a business perspective" but the intent is self-serving and nefarious at its root, designed to extract every ounce of revenue possible and make being dependent versus self-sufficient the end goal. I do blame them. It's the wrong path for everyone.

 

This touches all aspects of life in the world we live in. Essentially the same business model as big pharma. Nobody wants cures or permanent solutions. They want lifelong prescriptions that feed the pig for the same reasons that big tech wants lifelong subscriptions. The end user is no longer a valued customer, we are a source of revenue that needs to be captured in perpetuity. No thanks. Hard pass. I do blame them and that business model. It's messed up and unacceptable.

It's a lack of empathy and a long term perspective, just chasing the next quarter IMO.

 

I'm just waiting to hear how my community is also responsible for this from some people. I'm sure we already have some people transvestigating the Chinese spy.

Hmmm. Nvidia could start competing with their own partners and offer their own homebreved "RTX Spark" laptop and desktops. I’m sure Cook could contribute something with that... He has the needed experience. And Nvidia already do it with their graphics cards. Why not go into Jokebook business once the AI bubble pops?

It is that for sure. Greed and self-aggrandizing business ventures are agnostic to anything else with no regard to who it affects. The agenda needed for furtherance of the corporate enrichment strategy is the only thing that matters. Anything else is an inconvenient annoyance and distraction. It doesn't matter where their money comes from or how it is acquired as long as it comes.

He is really skilled at peddling garbage, that is for sure. And, he is worshipped by his garbage lovers.
