why do people listen to anything this guy says? he was making toys for gamers for 30 years with underwhelming financial success, and now by sheer coincidence it turned out that they are useful to run AI, because they can multiply two matrices fast. dude literally makes matrix calculators, and people listen to him like he's some soft of a visionary.
>>110204551Wealth brings with it an illusion of competence. No matter how much evidence there is to the contrary, people still somehow believe that people who got very rich did something to deserve it.
you might not like this, but every CEO has access to an invisible alien ball that gives them all sorts of supernatural powers. you might see them holding this ball during a keynote speech, or during an interview. the world isn't what you think it is... trust no one.
>>110204694Ohh noo. I can see the balls now! Wtf!
>>110204694Bruh
>>110204762Omp post more balls! I bet all influential rich men got balls!
>>110204812Some get bigger ones than others.
some even make charts to boast about their balls
mossad we have a leaker >>110204694
>>110205109some Shlomo's tasked with combing imageboards for "mossad" and other keywords getting mentioned. I bet he'll guffaw at this one.
>>110204551he will lose the inference market soon, TPUs are way more efficient, it's all about training for NVIDIA
>>110204551He runs the business well. CEO's and investors are the retards. It only takes one of them to waste a few billion freedom bucks.
>>110204551Its shrimple. The more you buy the more you save
>>110204551>he was making toys for gamers for 30 yearsThey were also making workstation hardware for professionals for most of that time. The entire modern world and virtually everything you own was designed in CAD/CAM programs that rely heavily on GPUs.
>>110204551>now by sheer coincidence it turned out that they are useful to run AI, because they can multiply two matrices fast.nvidia is not a majority of AI silicon volume delivered, and the AI demand came from the software companies first. theres a reason why google and amazon were making their own chips 7 fucking years agoyou dont remember covid and you were born after 9/11
>>110204551he bet on CUDA and making his graphic cards available to academic research, while everyone else was questioning his decision since it was not profitable for a long time.
>>110204551Because AI will be God at some point so you better get with the schedule luddite or get left behind
>>110207784This. When you read what he was saying in the 2000s and about the decision to gamble on CUDA, he seems like a prophet
>>110204551Fine.beat him.
Let's just totally forget about how CUDA is 20 years old. All GPUs were ever used for was gaymin.
>>110207793But we already have AGI.
>>110209983okay give me 1 trillion dollars
>>110210313let's just forget that OpenCL is 17yo and can do the same shit, but nvidia artificially gimped it on their platform. every single graphics card could do general purpose computing since programmable shaders were first introduced, even before OpenCL. nvidia wasn't special in this. I'll grant him that reaching out to academia was a good move. I'll also grant academics a huge fuck you for being lazy fucks and basically allowing themselves to be locked in in CUDA ecosystem instead of going with open tech.
