At what point do we collectively drag these corponiggers out of their executive offices and burn them alive on a pile if tires? Including the families too because their entire bloodline is polluted with narcassism and psychopathy.

The cost per individual die is in the double digits (maybe low triple for larger chips like Blackwell). 80% of any modern GPU is markup; or 99% in the case of workstation GPUs that are sold for tens of thousands of shekels.

What, you couldn't figure it out on your own? DLSS is a scam.

Not many people know that but yeah majority of shit TSMC works on is built outside and its expertise they rely on.

And most people bitching about rich people only do so because they know they won't be in those shoes.

Ragging on rich people is pointless. They will always exist, if not monetarily then some other way. Like it or not, Bezos provided a lot of value to a lot of people over the years. He should be rich.
The problem isn't being rich. It's tax avoidance, lobbying and trying to influence public opinion.

And creating dynasties of rich people that provided no actual value beyond the first generation, but "death tax" is too scary to some. Bezos earned being richer me, Bezos' great-great-grandkid didn't earn being richer than my great-great-grandkid

Life expectancy is more than the stuff insurance has any involvement with.
If you lived an unhealthy 70 years and at 70 you start getting problems that would kill you in two, but your income allows you to pay to extend it by four, so you die at 76, you still lived shorter than someone who had a more healthy 70 years of life, only started to get problems at 74, would also die in two, but the public healthcare extended it by one year.

Why would anyone want to own a corporation that isn't trying to be more profitable?

>>715821743
The model is unsustainable, in case you haven't grasped what I'm getting at. Even gigacorps will eventually reach a point where the line can't stop going up, because there isn't an infinite amount of money and an infinite amount of consumers to derive profit from.
The only reason they survive is because they have literal hundreds of billions in stockpile, so they can afford to suffer temporary hemorrhages until they make an action that allows the line to go up again after the dip.
Other companies don't get that luxury because they DON'T already have riches in backup, so they subsequently die a miserable death.

The common theory seems to be that it's two deltas to refer to the two Dodge brothers.

>>715822009
just because it's impossible to always make more money than before doesn't mean they shouldn't always try, they have those reserves because they made money when they could

companies are actually being paid to promote that, that's why they are fine with throwing flop after flop, they'll be bailed out

>>715822184
It increases the consumer price because retailers don't have the retardedly high margins that tsmc has.

Publicly traded companies very very rarely have individuals with stakes that big

No it doesn’t, wanting to pay for something isn’t greedy. Charging exorbitant sums greater than cost of production is though. Even if you’re an insane ascetic the latter is a magnitude more greedy than the former.

Capitalism is the kind of machine that works better even when it's exhausted, rotten from the inside out, and getting it's guts pulled out with gigantic horse cock. The worse is looks, the more horrible the flogging, the greater the release, the more viscous the orgasm. If it could coom to fucking over unborn generations, it would. There's nothing more kindled than a capitalist society that knows how ugly it looks.

>>715824234
I agree with you in theory.
It just sucks that the inevitable backlash won't cause any competitors to enter the market with a good alternative product or for nvidia to lower prices to remain competitive and profitable
they'll instead choose to go down in flames and take the market with them with rent-seeking behavior protecting their position in the market
so typical state capitalism that globalism enforces on all of us
I hate jews, I hate muslims, I hate leftists, and I hate republicans that refuse to tackle this bullshit

The fact this precedent wasn't overturned the moment Dodge set up a competitor is insane.

Dodge used the US law to hamper his rival directly, which is in complete violation of free market logic. He should have been lynched.

>>715820072
I mean, have you ever been to burgerland? Have you ever eaten or drank what they have? I don't know what they put in their food and drinks, but even a fucking same brand soda and exact same sold in both Europe and the US has completely shit taste in the US, borderline undrinkable. How is that even possible, it's just fizzy water and lots of sugar. You have to purposely try to fuck that up.
Don't even get me started on what is called "food" over there. I don't know what they put in that shit, but that would explain a lot of shit regarding the direction of that country.
And thus, no wonder they die early. It just fucks you up over time.

Henry Ford should have appealed to the US Supreme Court even though he lost at the Michigan Supreme Court.

>>715808571
Probably never. Shit will just keep getting gradually worse and worse and people will think that's the way it's always been. Politicians will continue to demonize the old way too, so that way people will shit on the old way even if it'd improve their lives. At least for a brief period of time corpofags were scared when some dude shot one of them to death and their feeling of invulnerability was briefly shattered.

Why is wanting to sell something for a lot greed but wanting to buy something for little isn't greed? It's just a bing bing wahoo machine so why are we bringing virtue into the conversation in the first place?

>>715808739
It costs Intel as much to make a B580 as it does Nvidia to make a 5070. They both have to pay TSMC for foundry time. B580 is a very low volume loss leader and their whole GPU experiment could get canned at any time

>>715824651
The price of GPUs itself is not a problem, problem is how little we make, how little an hour of your labor can buy you. And when I say we I mean most common people. I have a quite nice job and can afford to be a faggot snob leftist in denial but somehow that doesn't seem attractive to me.

>>715829684
no, the price of gpus has skyrocketed because of a combination of AI increasing demand and TSMC having a monopoly because all of their competitors are incompetent.

>>715807532 (OP)
>be the best at something that is in high demand
>not supposed to get paid for that
Why would you not want to reward excellence? Where do you think you'd end up if you rewarded failure instead?

>>715829838
That too but you don't really need a new GPU, all the new games are unreal slop that chug even on 4090. I only upgraded to 4070 this year grom rx590 (GTX 1070 tier card) I had since 2019. I'd say it was worth it, price of everything went up by about 2x, wo did this GPU... Nothing out of ordinary.

>>715807532 (OP)
Everyone and their mother wants TSMC.
Amd, Nvidia, Apple, Qualcomm even fucking Intel.
And Taiwan will never let go of their golden goose, no matter how much you hear them building factories at Arizona.

A sane maximum profit margin of like 50% being enforced across the globe for every industry without exception would result in an immediate and gigantic price drop almost across the board, alas, gazillionaires need more shekels in their portfolios because having 100 lifetimes worth of luxurious living is not enough for their black shriveled hearts

>>715833860
Not buying graphics cards doesn't mean you're unemployed lmao. It just means you're financially sensible and aware of what a fucking scam it is right now. Buying marked-up shit doesn't make you smart, buddy. Nobody thinks you are for doing so.

>>715834278
Most "scarcity" issues are purely artificial from the supplier side or caused by idiotic trendchasing from the consumer side, usually on a global scale thanks to slave media manipulation

there is literally no reason why apple and samsung should be allowed 1000%+ profit margins for their dumbphones, or nvidia / amd getting x00% profit margin and increasing that with each generation far in excess of increase in inflation and actual increase in product quality and capabilities

>>715808571

why don't you just buy a shitty chinese phone then instead of Apple or Samsung?

>>715834791

So they're greedy because they want to sell a product at market price but you're not greedy for wanting to buy one at a lower price?
Such hypocrisy /v/.

>>715822009
It is though. The total amount of money is increasing. Line measures money, it has to go up because if it isn't you're shrinking.

>>715838091
And when there's more money, it becomes less valuable due to inflation, hurting the average individual solely so the corporate reports can say the line's still going upward to keep those shareholders happy.
Billions today is equivalent to hundred thousands from way back, just because you added more digits doesn't mean it's actually more impressive, it's just placebo to trick easily-impressed suits.

>>715829838
TSMC is purposefully not charging as much as they probably could to remain globally important, as part of Taiwan's national defense strategy.
The reality is the seller can only set the minimum price. There is a limited fabbing capacity and expanding takes a ton of time and money. They could sell making a wafer for 1 dollar and all it would do is shift profits from them to middleman fab time resellers, the overall price to have something made in TSMC would increase
