I really hope Intel continues with GPUs or the GPU market is doomed until China catches up, Nvidia produces good products with great software, best in industry really, with great length support, but that doesn't excuse them from monopolistic practices. The fact that AMD refuses to compete really makes it look like this entire thing is organized from the top (US government).

This reminds me a lot of the LLM craze and how they wanted to charge so much for simple usage at the start until China released deepseek. Ideally we shouldn't rely on China but do we have a choice? the entire US economy has become reliant on monopolies to keep their insanely high stock prices and profit margins

		I don't think it matters really, this is a thing happening at all levels in US corporations, it's like an organized mob, and the godfather being the US government itself, as it's the primary beneficiary, just look at the Boeing "accidents" for whistleblowers, that should be all the evidence anyone needs.
