they pay because AMD (or any other for that matter) has no product to compete with a 5080 or 5090

Because they choose not to go full idiot though. They could make their top-line cards to compete if they slam enough into a pipeline and require a dedicated PSU to compete, but that's not where their product line intends to go. That's why it's smart.

For reference: AMD has the most deployed GPUs on the planet as of right now. There's a reason why it's in every gaming console except Switch 1/2, and why OpenAI just partnered with them for chips. The goal shouldn't just making a product that churns out results at the cost of everything else does, but to be cost-effective and efficient. Nvidia fails at that on every level.

Unfortunately, this partnership with OpenAI means they've sided with evil and I won't spend a cent on their products anymore.

Oh so you support grifting off the public domain? Maybe grow some balls instead of taking the status quo for granted.
