>Yeah but the issue is that they can make more money if they actually did affordable ML hardware and didn't purposefully gimp the gaming cards.
It's a dick move but it's not illegal (at least not now). Their purpose is to make greater returns for their investors, not make affordable ML hardware for every consumer.
>LLms running on standalone affordable boxes could become a ubiquitous home accessory
They could be, but why is it Nvidia's fault if they don't happen? They're in the business of making money, not fulfilling dreams, and currently they can barely fulfill their orders for the datacenter customers. Consumers could move the LLM stuff on cheaper Apple HW or Intel or AMD SoCs if they can't outbid the datacenter companies for Nvidia silicone.
Seems like a market opening for Nvidia's competitors to price cut them. If they don't exploit it and let Nvidia dominate, it's their fault. It's not Nvidia's fault their competitors were asleep at the wheel since they launched CUDA in 2007 and were helping researchers put their GPUs to use for parallel computing for over 15 years.
