Magic of AI
- The current AI boom is driven by a sense of magic and conjuring, similar to video games.
- What parents label as "brain rot" (video games) often predicts the next big industry.
NVIDIA's Vulnerability
- NVIDIA currently leads in AI hardware but is vulnerable because of its CUDA language.
- Open-source languages like PyTorch (Meta) and Triton (OpenAI) enable hardware agnosticism, threatening NVIDIA's dominance.
Specialized AI Models
