every stupid tech grift in this stupid epoch of scams has relied on graphics cards. cryptocurrency, NFTs, the metaverse, AI. what's up with that? why is the graphics card evil?

The GPU is not your enemy. The GPU was intended to channel magic smoke into the drawing of triangles, the virtuous shape. Evil men devised wicked shapes that should never have been drawn, and have used their influence to hoard the GPUs and twist the magic smoke toward the shape of their perversions.

Sometimes the magic smoke is used for good though, like rendering pretty women on my screen or supercomputers that do climate or cancer research They should never have been allowed to corrupt its power

Far from it! The tracing of rays guides radiant light to shine upon the triangles! It is reverent mathematics! If only *we* could be so grossly incandescent!
