Honestly the article is bullshit. It's right, but for all the wrong reasons. Intel isn't failing because it failed to buy OpenAI or partner with Apple. Intel is failing because they've made shit design decisions on their chips, sat on their laurels when they were riding high and just raised prices (giving up the engineering lead to AMD and TSMC), and then utterly fumbled the responses to multiple public failures when things started to go down hill.

generative AI, which OpenAI released to the world in 2022

What‽ We've only been dealing with this shit for 2 years‽ Fuck it feels like 5 LMAO

Put the newest intern in charge for a year. They couldn't do much worse than the last 4 CEOs, and would be much cheaper.

I already felt this way about intel when they hired fucking Will.I.Am to be spokesperson. He made more money in a month than most of their engineers in a year. That was a decade ago. It's only been downhill since. I hope they go fully bankrupt at this point and someone worthy can take over the patents.

If Intel said yes to Apple, it would have just made Apple a failure. They've done a shit job at mobile chips for years, and never would have given Apple the control that has led to Apple being at the forefront of the mobile market. (And don't have the advanced nodes Apple is taking the lions share of either).

Four bad CEOs is like a grade school level of analysis. You can spend half an hour on Wikipedia and come up with like 18 other patterns that connect the companies.

Do you really think Warren Buffett (or any other serious investor or business analyst), is sitting there counting out the number of bad CEOs on their fingers when making an investment decision?

I just know I don't like Pat Gelsinger's over confident bragging style, it seems dishonest. His claim of winning back Apple was ridiculous, Intel was so far behind what Apple was doing with the M1 it wasn't even funny. And they are even further behind now, than they were then!
Whether he succeeds remains to be seen, but it's not looking good.

What's happening with all the money Biden has given Intel? That just disappeared?

Something something history repeats itself as farce or something

For context: Intel was founded by people who thought Fairchild Semiconductors wasn't receiving the necessary funding or respect from the owning company.
