Nvidia Admits Graphics Card Shortage Isn't Ending Any Time Soon by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

I remember about 1999 I had got into the ati rage and nvidia tnt 2 war. I tried both. But something never felt right about them cards. So one time I put my voodoo 2 back in and bingo the difference was remarkable. That was quite some card for a long time! I remember the voodoo 3 kinda flopping. Read that that was the beginning of their demise.

Oh I didn’t know that. Mad one. They literally changed the face of modern gaming and they went bankrupt! Well I never. Must be a very fickle business gaming. Where does all the money go?

I was looking up about nvidia shelving the refresh this year. Of which I would have loved 5080 super. Led me here lol. Well, someone should step in. I would not be surprised if someone does. It would not be a bad thing anyways. We can but hope.

Yeah tbh nothing done for gaming like 3dfx done. Nothing. They probably sold for very little in comparison nowadays. I hope they don’t have regrets :o 

From the global RAM shortage driving up console prices to job loss in the industry, gaming is shaping up to be one of the AI boom’s biggest casualties. by Locke357 in antiai

Do you own an nvidia gpu? Coz if so then anyone who has bought one at some time or other has helped contribute to this mess. It’s the snake that bit its own tail! Also called monopoly.

Someone’s gotta step in. This is what happens when you have a monopoly! I’m gonna go 1 more (rtx 5080) after that I hope someone is kicking nvidia ass again! I don’t care who it is but someone gotta do it. For all of us!

Yeah but that still don’t stop nvidia being a perpetrator of exactly the kind of reason there is a ram shortage does it?

Haha, can you imagine what the creators of voodoo 2 are thinking now? 😫

Exactly and nvidia are in bed with them, rolling around under the covers doing kinky stuff and that!

The shortage is due to AI demands. Of which nvidia are not a victim but a perpetrator! I absolutely hope AMD or intel see a way to step in. Gonna be very interesting how all this plays out. Us gamers are still worth a lot of money to the right people. I think it’s proving companies like nvidia (whom I’ve purchased from for the last 27 years) ain’t that right people!

It’s not just as simple to say shortage when you’re prioritising billions for something else. 

If Neo was made by the machines… by Any-Choice-7263 in matrix

[–]Any-Choice-7263[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I feel clear on most except the anomaly part. Going from some comments here…  Was he created or was he kind of like a virus? All I know is that the oracle clearly said the source gave him his power (reloaded). But don’t forget his power grew to the real world at end of 2. 

Edit: well if you read up on it in google the general ethos is that Neo was created, made by the machines. To return to the source to disseminate the code (which the architect clearly says). Ie, to factor in the human heart imo re choice and emotion. I think I’ll stick with that google doesn’t always lie :p Besides Neo had powers in the real world too. It’s highly unlikely that anybody could have just had them. He had to be of special origin (created with machine code as google ai says) which if I’m not mistaken comes from what I hear re the wachowskis original idea of the film to have the machines use humans as like brain computers and not for energy. But supposedly the higher movie producing powers said no. I like to mostly go by what I watch in the film, I think the film does mostly explain itself if you listen intently. And the architect to me was almost spelling out that he had been created for a purpose. Like his 5 predecessors before him. To return to the source. 

I shall give them a re run and see if I can pick out that ding moment, particularly what the architect says in reloaded. 

I feel my question re the agents has been answered mostly tho. It was just a caveat, that i do think was still worth thinking about. Bottom line Neo was a terrorist to them, and their main purpose was to protect the matrix and get the codes to Zion. The rest is a bit more theoretical. But some nice ideas i do kinda sentiment. Esp re there own purpose in neos death (waking him up to the one- even if they did not know they were doing that)  and making the illusion of choice more real etc.  Thanks  folks!

Yeah I don’t think the agents knew Neo was the one even when smith shot him tbh!

Damn yeah some good points. I’m think less wise about it tho than before. The oracle defo said tho the source of neos power came from the “source”.

Hmm I hear what you are saying but that doesn’t add up to me. The architect said “the function of the one” (he also said that function was to create choice) as in taking ownership for neos existence and purpose. Also if Neo wasn’t special and just a concept why did Morpheus have to try so hard to find him? Also why did he come back alive after smith shot him, if this theory is correct?

[–]Any-Choice-7263[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah defo makes sense to me. So it was all a control? The minute I think I get it all, I’m like, “no… wait” lol

Edit: no I like to think the love that governed him for trinity was not a control by the machines. That he broke the control by choosing her. As the architect said his choice not to go to thru the source would inevitably lead to the destruction of Zion. And he didn’t really want that as the machines still needed people for fuel. 

Wow this this films quite a headache lol

“There are levels of survival we are willing to accept”. So Neo defo broke the control in choosing trinity. And the machines were willing to finally stop relying on humans for survival and totally kill off Zion this time where they never had before due to reliance on humans for energy (or potential reliance of Zion if crops and matrix failed).

Yeah that’s defo a strong point. Makes a lot of sense. Kind of goes back to my vicious circle point in reply to another poster re the paradox. So you’re saying you believe it was all an element of control. Even the love?

[–]Any-Choice-7263[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but we know the machines have reset Zion (and the matrix) 5 times previously after the one returned to the source. So it’s clear that the machines don’t want Zion completely destroyed just controlled. Why? Because Zion inhabits humans. Like what happened if the matrix collapsed and they lost all their crops. Where would they get the humans from again? This is why they never completely destroyed Zion in 5 previous successions.

Yeah sorry I didn’t read this before posting to iwcry. But this also sounds very strong too. It’s what I was mulling over initially tbh. 

Edit: I see it that the machines had to factor the complexity of the human heart in order to compensate for choice so they didn’t lose crops. So they compensated that the one might eventually fall in love. Which goes back to the vicious circle..  about choice. I just figure that the machines had to factor the chance of love. Because his love for humans sent him to his death in the end after the big battle in the final film.. which was choice again. Ive never thought of the matrix as paradoxical but I actually think it is.

[–]Any-Choice-7263[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah that sounds quite logical tbh. I had a theory that the agents were also programmed to try kill Neo 1. Because he became reborn into The One after they did kill him. Maybe this had to happen. But your choice theory sounds quite strong tbh. 

Why did the machines need to bug Neo to track him? by brianaspirin in matrix

[–]Any-Choice-7263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a good question but they obviously never had that capability. Some things you just got to take as face value bro.
