「ゲーミングGPUの意図的崩壊：市場需要と企業戦略の乖離が示す現代的パラドックス」
序論
グラフィックス処理ユニット（GPU）は、従来、ゲーミングPC市場の発展を支える中核的技術として位置づけられてきた。しかし、2025年現在、市場を寡占するNVIDIAおよびAMDが、高収益性を有する人工知能（AI）およびデータセンター（DC）分野に経営資源を集中させる一方で、ゲーミングGPUの供給を意図的に制限する現象が顕著である。本論文は、この状況を「ゲーミングGPUの意図的崩壊」と定義し、その要因、帰結、および歴史的文脈における独自性を分析する。本現象は、需要が堅調な市場が代替技術の不在下で企業により放棄されるという、他に類を見ないパラドックスを提示し、現代の市場ダイナミクスの再考を迫るものである。
ゲーミング市場は、2025年の推定市場規模が2000億ドルを超え、Steamの月間アクティブユーザー数が1億人以上を記録するなど、持続的成長を示している（Statista,2025）。NVIDIAのRTX 5090に代表されるハイエンドGPUは、4K解像度やリアルタイムレイトレーシングといった先進的要件を満たす技術として依然高い需要を保持し、技術的陳腐化の兆候は見られない。対照的に、NVIDIAの2024年第3四半期財務報告によれば、総売上の87%（208億ドル）がDC部門に由来し、ゲーミング部門は12%（29億ドル）に留まる（NVIDIA,2024）。AMDもまた、RDNA4世代においてハイエンドGPUの開発を放棄し、データセンター向けEPYCプロセッサおよびAI向けInstinctアクセラレータに注力する戦略を採用している（Tom’sHardware,2025）。この乖離は、両社が利益率（DCで50%以上、ゲーミングで20-30%と推定）を最適化する戦略的判断を下していることを示唆する。
「ゲーミングGPUの意図的崩壊」は、以下の特性により定義される。第一に、供給の戦略的抑制である。RTX 50シリーズの供給不足は、TSMCの製造能力制約や季節的要因（例：旧正月）を超越し、NVIDIAがAI向けBlackwellシリーズ（B100/B200）に生産能力を優先配分した結果として解釈される。第二に、代替技術の不在である。クラウドゲーミング（例：GeForceNOW）は潜在的代替として存在するが、ネットワーク遅延や帯域幅の制約により、ローカルGPUの性能を完全に代替するに至っていない。第三に、市場の持続性である。フィルムカメラやフィーチャーフォンのように自然衰退した市場とは異なり、ゲーミング市場は成長を維持しているにも関わらず、企業による意図的供給制限が進行中である。この構造は、市場の自然的淘汰ではなく、企業主体の介入による崩壊を示している。
本現象を歴史的文脈で評価する場合、類似事例としてOPECの原油供給調整（1973-1974年）および音楽業界のCD市場放棄（2000年代後半）が参照される。しかし、いずれも本ケースと顕著な相違が存在する。OPECの事例は価格統制を目的とした供給操作であり、市場崩壊を意図したものではない。また、CD市場はデジタル配信という代替技術への移行が進行した結果、企業撤退が合理的であった。これに対し、ゲーミングGPU市場は代替技術が不在であり、かつ需要が堅調である点で独自性を有する。さらに、市場の寡占構造（NVIDIAとAMDで約95%のシェア、StatCounter,2025）が、新規参入者による市場補完を阻害し、意図的崩壊の効果を増幅させている。これまでの「市場の取り残し」が技術的進化や需要減退による受動的結果であったのに対し、本現象は企業戦略による能動的放棄として際立つ。
本現象は、消費者および競争環境に多様な影響を及ぼしている。RTX 50シリーズの供給不足は、転売市場において希望小売価格の2倍超での取引を誘発し（eBay,2025）、消費者不満を増大させている。市場競争においては、AMDがミドルレンジGPUで一定のシェアを確保する一方、ハイエンド需要の未充足が長期化し、新規参入者（例：中国系企業やIntelArc）の市場参入を誘引する可能性がある。しかし、GPU開発における技術的障壁および製造コストを考慮すると、短期的な代替供給の実現は困難と予測される。将来展望としては、クラウドゲーミングの技術的進展がローカルGPUの代替となり得るか、または消費者圧力が企業戦略の再評価を促すかが、本市場の持続性を決定する要因となる。
「ゲーミングGPUの意図的崩壊」は、市場需要の堅調さと企業利益追求の乖離がもたらす現代的パラドックスである。技術的代替や需要衰退による市場淘汰とは異なり、NVIDIAとAMDの戦略的資源配分が市場を意図的に崩壊させている点で、歴史的に稀有な事象として位置づけられる。本現象は、現代資本主義における企業行動と消費者利益の対立、および市場の長期持続性に対する重要な示唆を提供する。今後の研究においては、本形態の意図的崩壊が他産業に波及する可能性や、消費者側の対応策の効果について、さらなる検証が求められる。

*1スペインの恋愛リアリティーショー「TemptationIsland:Spain」に出演した男。彼女に浮気された際にPor favor!と叫びながら自分の服を引き裂いたり
浮気現場を押さえようと、スタッフの制止を振り切って海岸を疾走するシーンがSNSでバズってミーム化している。
*2ケンドリックが、全世界が注目するNFLのハーフタイムショーに出演し、Notlike us(ドレイクを未成年好きのロリコン野郎とディスる曲)を歌ったこと。
*3サッカー選手のクリスチアーノ・ロナウドは、ゴールを決めた際のパフォーマンスで「SIUUUU」と叫ぶ(英語でいう「YESSSSSS」みたいな意味)。
ドレイクが、ケンドリックがハーフタイムショーでNotlike usを歌うことを阻止するため、ケンドリックの所属するレコード会社を訴訟(sue)したこととかけている。
*4 「Loser(敗者)」の意味のLと、ハーフタイムショーに出演した俳優サミュエル・L・ジャクソンのミドルネームのLをかけている。
*5 free puffは「他の人が大〇を吸ってるときに、その副流煙を吸う」という意味だが
カニエ・ウェストが2月に発狂してXに大量の差別発言を投稿した際、「トランプ大統領、俺のブラザーのPuffを釈放してくれ(free puff)」とお願いのポストを投稿したこととかけている。
ちなみにPuffとは、元ラッパーの実業家であり、現在女性に対する性的暴行や人身売買等、多数の疑惑で告発を受けて収監されているディディ(旧名パフ・ダディ)のことである。
*6ケンドリックがハーフタイムショーで「Notlike us」を歌った際、「なあドレイク？お前若い女の子が好きなんだってな」の部分をカメラ目線と満面の笑みで歌ったこと。nonceはイギリスのスラングで小〇性犯罪者の意味。
*7ビッグヘッドは直訳すると「うぬぼれや」のような意味だが、好きな相手に対して、からかうような意味合いをこめてそう呼ぶこともある。
*8ケンドリックのハーフタイムショーで共演した、女性歌手SZAのこと。ドレイクの元カノでもある。一小節にRock、Paper、Scissors(SZA)を盛り込み意味も通した、テクニカルなワードプレイ。
*9ケンドリックのハーフタイムショーに出演した、テニス選手のセリーナ・ウィリアムスのこと。
ドレイクからすれば「元カノが自分の宿敵のショーに出演し、自分をロ〇コン野郎と罵る歌(Notlike us)でノリノリに踊っている。
しかもクリップス(ケンドリックと関係の深いギャング)のチームカラーと同じ青い服を着て、クリップス発祥のダンス(Cウォーク)を踊っている」という地獄のような光景である。
*10ドレイクが2016年に出した「Controlla」という曲と、ケンドリックがハーフタイムショーで舞台をプレイステーションのコントローラーに見立て、地面に□〇△×を表示したことをかけている。
*11プレイステーションの「×(クロス)」ボタンと、腹を立てるという意味の「becross」をかけている。
*12 「all my beeflost」に「(忘れっぽいから)肉を全部なくした」と「(ケンドリックとの)ビーフに全敗した」の2つの意味がかけられている。
*13 以前から、ドレイクは腹筋等の筋肉を整形手術で人工的に作った疑惑がかけられていたが
ある時期から急に尻がデカくなったので「Brasilian butlift」という尻を大きくする整形を受けた疑惑が持たれており、ディス曲でも散々ネタにされている。
アメリカ等では「女性は尻が大きいほどセクシー」という考えがあるため、基本的にBBLをやるのは女、というのもディスられどころである。

1月、デンマークの極右党の政治家であるRasmus Paludanが、ストックホルムのトルコ大使館の外でコーランを焼いた。
今年1月殺されたのはイラク出身の反イスラム活動家サルワン・モミカ
https://www.cnn.co.jp/world/35228896.html
モミカ被告は特定の民族集団に対する増悪を扇動した罪で起訴され、2025年１月３０日に判決が言い渡される予定だった。
同国のメディアが報じたところによると、クリステション首相は同日の会見で、モミカ被告の殺害に外国勢力が関与している可能性があり、治安当局も捜査に加わっていると述べた。
同被告は抗議活動を展開していた当時、１８年にイラクからスウェーデンに移って来たとＣＮＮに語った。また、コーランは民主主義や倫理、人権、女性の権利などを危険にさらすため世界中で禁止されるべきとの考えから、コーランを燃やす抗議活動を行ったと説明した。
当局は当初、デモを認可しないことでモミカ被告の抗議活動を阻止しようとした。この判断については、後に控訴裁判所が言論の自由を理由に却下した。
モミカ被告を名乗るＸ（旧ツイッター）のアカウントでは、同被告の裁判についての最新情報が定期的に投稿されていた。同アカウントは２３万人超のフォロワーを抱え、反イスラム的な内容の投稿も繰り返していた。”

コーラン焼却の被告が判決目前に射殺、スウェーデン 容疑者5人逮捕
By Johan Ahlander
”クリステション首相は３０日の会見で、外国勢力が関与している恐れがあり、治安当局も事件の調査に関わっていると述べた。
スウェーデン治安当局はロイターに、銃撃事件で想定される治安への影響について分析していると述べた。
スウェーデンでは２３年にモミカ被告らによるコーラン焼却活動が活発化した。スウェーデン政府はコーランを焼却する行為を非難したものの、言論の自由の一形態との認識も示した。イランの最高指導者ハメネイ師はコーランを冒涜（ぼうとく）した者は「最も厳しい罰」を受けるべきで、スウェーデンは「イスラム世界との戦争の戦闘態勢に入った」などと非難。スウェーデンはイスラム急進主義者の無差別攻撃を受ける恐れがあるとしてテロリズム警戒レベルを上から２番目に引き上げた。”
これは要するにイスラム過激派と逆イスラム過激派（逆？キリスト教徒？）の間のいざこざみたいですね… キリスト教活動家っていうのは誰をさしているんでしょうか？誰の友人？

来週は休日が１日挟まるので少しはマシかも。
こういう忙しいときに時間がかかるコンテンツの無料が来ると悩むんですよね。
たとえば今週はSteamで「GreenHell」というゲームが３日間限定で無料だったんですが……見送りました。
今週末の金土日だけ無料で遊べたSteamの「GreenHell」
大体こういう時はムービーを飛ばし飛ばしで済ませていけば３０時間ぐらいで済みます。
さて、３日で３０時間を捻出すればクリア出来るゲームがあります……あなたはどうしますか？
私がものすごく暇でNowonNEETだったらやってたかも知れないですね。
このゲームに凄く興味があったら今回半分だけやって残りは次の機会を待つという凄い力技も使ったかも。
でもこれで半年後にEPICで無料配布されて、Steamからデータ移せなかったらガッカリですよね。
ひとまず第１部が終わるまで読んで、次の機会に第２部以降を読むというやり方でも問題はありません。
漫画は元々連載期間が長いですから、そういう読み方をする人も多いでしょう。
でもゲームは基本的に一気にプレイする前提で作られているし、セーブデータを他所のプラットフォームに移すのが可能かも不透明なのでこのやり方には向きません。
オンラインゲームだけは例外的にセーブデータがアカウント管理だし、元々細切れに遊ぶように出来ているので案外なんとかなります。

Firstdates can be exciting and nerve-wrackingallatonce.You’re meetingsomeone new, learning about their interests, and trying to figureout if there’schemistrybetweenyou. And then there’s flirting, that delicate dance of showingsomeoneyou’re interested withoutbeing too forward or awkward.
Flirtingdoesn’t have to be a high-pressuresituation. Infact,it can bethe mostfun part ofgetting to knowsomeone. Whetheryou're meetingsomeoneonMixerDates orany other platform,the most important thingis to be genuine,staycalm, and let theconnection developnaturally.
Ifyou’ve everfoundyourself wondering how to flirton a firstdate withoutfeeling uncomfortable,you’re notalone. Everyonehas their awkwardmoments, but themoreyou understand theart of flirting, the easierit becomes. In thisarticle, we’llbreak down how to flirt in a way thatfeelsnatural, exciting,and authentic towhoyou are. So, let'sdive in and learn how tomakethe most ofyour firstdate experience—withoutoverthinkingit.
Whenit comes to flirting, confidenceiskey. But whatdoesit really mean to be confidenton a firstdate? Confidencedoesn’t meanyouneed to be perfect, or evenoutgoing—it simply meansbeing comfortable inyour ownskin and showing upasyour authentic self.
Haveyou ever noticed how people are drawn to thosewho radiate self-assurance?It’s not aboutbragging or dominating the conversation—it’s about presentingyourself with ease. Ifyoufeelgood aboutyourself,itwillnaturally show. A greatsmile,good posture, and eye contact cango a long way in making agoodfirst impression.
For instance, think about thelasttimesomeone walked into a room and immediately caughtyourattention—not because they werethe mostattractive person in the room, but because of their energy. They were confident, they were present, and theymadeyoufeelat ease. That’s the kind of confidenceyou want to projectonyourdate.
Whenyou're confident,you're not worried about saying the perfect thing. Instead,youfocuson enjoying themoment, making the other personfeel comfortable, and letting theconnection happennaturally. That’s themagic of confidence—itallowsyou to be present,fun, and,most importantly,yourself.
Let’s faceit—noonewants tofeellike they’rebeing “worked” or put through a game. That’swhy subtletyis such a powerfultool whenit comes to flirting.It'sall about showing interest withoutbeingover-the-top or too obvious.
Flirtingdoesn’talways mean complimentingsomeone non-stop or using cheesy pickup lines. Infact,the most successful flirtingis the kind that happens behind the scenes—subtle, playful, andlighthearted. Think about thelittlemoments,like a teasing comment about how theyalways order the same thingat a restaurant or the wayyou laughat a silly joke theymake.
Thekeyis to find a balance. Asimplesmile or a playful comment can convey interest withoutbeing too much. For example, ifyourdate tellsyou theylove hiking but theytend togetlost easily,you could saysomethinglike, “So,you’re telling meyouneed a personal guide? I couldget behind that!”It’slighthearted, humorous, andmost importantly,it keeps the conversationfun without putting too much pressureon thesituation.
By keepingit subtle,youallowyourdate tofeelat ease.Ittakes the pressure off them to be perfectand allows both ofyou to enjoy the interactionmorenaturally. Flirtingdoesn’tneed to be a performance—it’s about creating an environment where both ofyou canfeel comfortableand authentic.
Now,let’stalk aboutsomething incredibly important in the flirting game:active listening. When we’reon adate, we oftenget caught up in thinking about what to saynext, how we’re coming across, or if we’rebeing interesting enough. But the best way tomake animpression? Truly listening toyourdate.
Active listening meansyou’re fullyengaged in the conversation, givingyourdateyour fullattention and responding thoughtfully.It’s about showing thatyou care about what they’re saying and thatyou’re genuinely interested ingetting to know them better. Whenyou listenactively,you’re also giving them space toopen up, and that can create an immediateconnection.
For example, ifyourdate mentions they recently traveled toJapan, instead of simply saying, “That’scool!”you could follow up withsomethinglike, “Whatwasthe most memorable experienceyou had there?” This shows thatyou’re not just hearing their words but are genuinely curious and invested in their experiences.It’s a great way to build rapport and let them knowyou’re not just there toimpress them—you’re there toconnect.
Whileyour words are important,body language often speaks louder thananythingyou can say. Whetheryourealizeit or not,yourbodyis constantly communicating howyoufeel. Howyousit, stand, andmove tellsyourdate whetheryou’rerelaxed,engaged, or distracted.
Small gestures cango a long way in flirting. Alight touchon thearm, a subtle lean in when they’re speaking, or maintaininggood eye contact—all thesebody language cues helpsignalyour interest. Andthe great thingis, whendonenaturally, these cues can be justas effectiveas words.
For example, ifyou’resittingat a caféonyourdate andyou lean in slightly when they’re sharing afunnystory,you’re not just showing thatyou’re interested—you’re inviting them intoyour space.It’s aninvitation toconnect further. And when they respondby leaning in too, that’s when themagic happens—the unspokenconnection that tellsyou both that there’s potential formore.
Flirting throughbody languagedoesn’t mean making grand gestures orbeingoverly touchy.It’s aboutbeing present and showing thatyou’reengagedwith yourdate in a subtle, but meaningful way.

I'm emphasizing the slow emergence of intelligentlifeonEarth, which suggests that the odds ofany habitableplanet developing acomplexcivilization might beaslowas a fewpercent.
Belowis a very speculative chart that—basedon what we know aboutEarth’s long, windingpath fromsimplelife to a “civilizedsociety” and our limited observations of nearby exoplanets—gives somefun,made‑uppercentage chances for a few of our best candidate exoplanets. Remember: Scientists havenot yetfoundany proof oflife (let alone advancedcivilizations)onany exoplanet. Thesenumbers are just playful estimates to helpyou think about theideas!
Speculative Chances of Finding an AdvancedCivilizationon Nearby Exoplanets
Exoplanet EstimatedLikelihood of a CivilizedSociety
Proxima Centauri b ~2%
LHS 1140 b ~0.5%
HowDid We (Very Roughly) Guess TheseNumbers?
Earth’s Example:
OnEarth,life beganassimple single‑celled organisms and took billions of years to evolve into a species that builtcomplex societies. This longjourney suggests that—even if aplanetis in the “habitablezone” (where liquid water could exist)—developing an advanced, civilizedsociety might be rare.
Proxima Centauri b:
Thisis the closest exoplanet to us. Even thoughitsstar (Proxima Centauri)is ared dwarf that sometimes sendsout strongflares (which might harmlife),its closeness makesitone of ourmost interesting candidates. That’swhy we giveit a slightly higher guess (~2%).
Theseplanets are part of agroup orbiting a verycoolstar. Their environments might be challenging (for example, they could be tidally locked, meaningone sidealwaysfaces thestar), so the chance of acomplex, advancedcivilization might be abitlower.
LHS 1140 b:
Thisplanetis promising in some ways butis alittle fartherawayand around a dimmerstar, so our playful estimateis evenlower.
All of thesepercentages are extremely rough guessesbasedon whatlittle we understand about the conditions forlife andintelligence. Scientists useideaslike the Drake Equation to think about these chances—but until we have concreteevidence, thesenumbers remain just forfun and imagination.
Enjoy exploring theseideas—and remember, spaceis full of mysteries waiting to be discovered!

re-examining the Drake Equation
evaluating the Drake Equation'svalue
OK, let me see. The Drake Equationisn't a precise formula;it'smore of a guiding heuristic that tackles numerous uncertainties regarding extraterrestrialcivilizations.
Thinking through the Drake Equation, I’m evaluatingits conceptualnature,its uncertain parameters, andits criticism to concludeonits reliabilityas an accurate predictivemodel.
Understanding the Drake Equation
I’m mappingout the Drake Equationas a conceptual guide, detailingits parameters, which are oftenbasedon estimates or opinions, to evaluateits reliability for predicting extraterrestrialcivilizations.
The Drake Equationis a famous formula thatwas created to help scientists think about the manyfactors involved in estimating thenumber of detectable extraterrestrialcivilizations in ourgalaxy. However, when welookat the equation closely, we see thatitismore of a conceptualframework or heuristictool than a precise, predictive formula.Let’sbreak downwhy:

Wide Ranges of PossibleValues:
Because many of thesefactors are not well-constrained, ifyouchangeone of themore uncertain parameters even slightly, thefinal estimate for
𝑁
N (thenumber ofcivilizations) can varyby many orders ofmagnitude. This wide range shows that the equation canlead to very differentoutcomesbasedonpersonal or theoreticalassumptions.
The Drake Equationwas never meant to provide a preciseanswer. Instead,it servesas a way to organize our thinking about what conditions might be necessary for the development of extraterrestrialcivilizations.It encourages discussion about the relative importance of differentfactors andhighlights where our scientific knowledgeis limited.
Is the Drake Equation Accurate orMore Opinion-Based?
Accurate?
In thesense ofbeing a strict mathematicalmodel with well-defined inputs and predictableoutputs, the Drake Equationis not accurate.Its accuracyis limitedbythe extreme uncertainties in several ofitskey parameters.
Many of the terms in the equation, especially those concerning theevolution oflife andintelligence, arebasedon opinion, interpretation, and the single example ofEarth. Therefore, while thestructure of the equationis logical, thenumbersyou put intoit (and hence thefinal result) are oftenmore reflective of our current opinionsand assumptions than of robust empirical data.
The Drake Equationis a valuabletool for framing the question of extraterrestriallife.It helps scientists and enthusiastsbreak down acomplex problem into smaller,more manageable questions. However, because several ofitsfactors are highly uncertain and subject topersonal interpretation,itismore of a conceptual guide—or even a way to stimulate discussion—than a formula that provides a definitive, accurate prediction of thenumber of extraterrestrialcivilizations.
Insummary, while the Drake Equationis useful for thinking about the variousfactors that mightlead to the emergence of acivilization,itsoutputs should betakenas highly speculative estimates rather than precise measurements.
