I'd hazard that people buying those cards at that price aren't buying them for gaming, they're using them to run local AI models
But you can buy a ton of online AI access for that kind of money.
I know, I know, privacy and offline availability and all that, but sometimes you gotta weigh the pros and cons.
every now and then those AI monopolists let their users' conversations leak and this risk might be inadmissible for some
yeah that makes a ton more sense. Still an insane amount to spend on a graphics card, something in my brain breaks a little
it's out of reach for us, but for some companies this might end up being cheaper than buying AI from american monopolists
