Surely This Will Pass

Surely this will pass after the crypto craze ... 30XX NVIDIA RTX 3090 Surely this will pass after the AI craze ... 40XX RTX 4090 Surely this ... uh ... this will uh ... 50XX RTX 5090

A three-panel meme shows a stick figure watching NVIDIA graphics cards become increasingly expensive through the 30XX, 40XX, and 50XX generations. The character keeps hoping prices will fall after the crypto craze and then the AI craze, but the final RTX 5090 is buried under money, implying that each new trend makes GPUs even more expensive. It is sent as a reaction to unrealistic optimism about technology prices.
