This is baffling. I’m sure there are many technical reasons I don’t grok that AMD’s job is challenging, but it’s wild that they are dropping the ball on such obvious stuff as this.

The prize is trillions of dollars, and they can print hundreds of millions if they can convince the market that they are closing the gap.

It’s embarrassing that whoever actually tries to use their product hits these crass bugs (same with geohot who was really invested in making AMD’s cards work; I think he just ran their demo script in a loop and produced crashes).

It seems they really don’t understand/value the developer flywheel.

There's a recent interview with Lisa Su where she basically says she's never been interested in software because hardware is harder, she doesn't believe AMD has any problems in the software department anyway and AMD is doing great in AI. So make of that what you will. Suffice it to say, clearly the AMD board doesn't care either because otherwise they'd replace her.

In the late 90's, US manufacturers, including high-tech electronics, had 2 mantras:

1) Cash is king

2) Inventory is evil

I think this mindset may still be here, in 2024
