It's funny that it takes checks notes a video game card manufacturer to make a good sandbox for AI agents and not the AI companies themselves...

You're mistaking what a company started as for what it is now. Nvidia hasn't just been a video game card manufacturer in well over a decade, and hasn't been primarily one for quite a while now.

They are the premier manufacturer of electronics that power all the current AI. Why wouldn't they be contributing heavily to the space?

5.5% of Nvida's revenue comes from consumer gaming cards. That's like saying Nintendo is a playing card company because they still sell playing cards.

The economist literally called Nvidia the "Central Bank of AI". https://www.economist.com/interactive/briefing/2026/09/03/nv...

I'd argue that Nvidia is the biggest and most important AI company in the world.

This isn’t even the sandbox. It needs Docker or other virtualization. This seems to sit a level up and orchestrate sandboxes and access to network & resources. It’s a pretty heavy setup from what I can tell.

Yes Anthropic, Meta and OpenAI are just addicted to video game cards, they are buying in bulk so they can play gta 6 on launch.

It's funny that people think Nvidia is still a video game card manufacturer

They literally don't even mention gaming revenue in earnings calls anymore. It's lumped in an "edge computing" category.

is that true? if so that's wild, since they're still dominant in the gaming market as the premium hardware relative to competitors.

		It's true. It says a bunch about their competitors where Nvidia isn't at their a game and have been offering 8Gb cards for a solid decade and nobody surpassed that. But also gamers pride themselves on how cheap they are and how they can get a deal, it's not surprising that companies simply just give Nvidia more cash.

		TAM for the PC gaming consumer market is trivial compared to enterprise AI

		> is that true? if so that's wild, since they're still dominant in the gaming market as the premium hardware relative to competitors. Doesn't seem that wild to me considering it is less that they abandoned the gaming market to any strong competitors and more that the gaming market is both basically irrelevant compared to the money being shoveled into AI and is also to some degree being strangled to death by AI because of the overlap in supply chain inputs.

AIs will control humans so we'll be the video game.
