This is an interesting choice; a big part of AI-mania has been corporations tripping over themselves to prove how “all-in” they are on AI. In firing a bunch of AI staff, Meta risks looking like they’re not committed enough to it. Are things starting to change? Is this all-in posture no longer important? (We can only hope.)
This won’t happen but I would so love it if Nvdia was really brought to its knees and utterly dissolved. they so deserve it.
They just deserve to have CUDA published as a spec so others can compete.
Nvidia is the only company making money off the AI blitz. This is a huge win for them, and they’re making money hand over fist. There is so little competition on the hardware side, and the software support for competitor’s products is weak in comparison, that they can charge basically whatever they want for their products.
