What commenters are saying
Commenters analyze the deal's economics, noting Nvidia could still profit handsomely even if the backstop is a total loss due to high hardware margins. Several warn Softbank and Oracle are most exposed. A major thread debates whether frontier AI will ever run on consumer hardware, with many arguing data center scaling economics and training costs make local inference irrelevant for cutting-edge models. Others compare the situation to IBM before the PC era.
