Here’s what’s gonna happen.
Other outfits are going to make NPUs so fast that no GPU can compare. Even an architecture such as NVIDIA’s will be price-wise too expensive to be of interest for any AI outfit.
Then, either NVIDIA pivots so hard, they pivot themselves out of the GPU industry, or…
They come crawling back.
AI can fuck off.
I’m still waiting for it to change my life.
It already did for me, as a solo-developer, problems I normally needed to browse stackoverflow for I can now ask AI in my own editor in the context of my own code. It has been a lifesaver multiple times already and otherwise a significant timesaver.
Good for you. For the rest of us, it’s a nuisance.
“AI” or GPT is not the problem, the companies behind it are the problem. It would be a great thing if they weren’t restarting nuclear reactors to power it, or they would sell it as a product instead of forcing it on you.
Just waiting for the moment Nvidia is like yeah we won’t be making any GPU chips any more, just AI chips from now on.
