Is NVIDIA really unstoppable or could it be a dead man walking?

    I’m posting this together with an Ed Zitron interview, these 2 combined I think gives you a very complete picture of the AI situation, and where it is probably heading.
    Here the focus is on decentralized AI being more likely to be the main thing in the future for many reasons.
    If you are unfamiliar with the issue, Asian Dad Energy puts up a very solid case for it IMO.

      Yeah, Zitron is definitely a fine pairing here.

      Like I was thinking, “Yeah, no shit OpenAI uses the most expensive NIVIDIA GPUs… That’s why NVIDIA’s given OpenAI billions of dollars. OpenAI literally exists to buy expensive NVIDIA GPUs!”

        Absolutely and in this case, literally actually means literally.
        As with every bubble, all the people in it, think they’ve found a source of infinite growth.
        This video however shows how that is very unlikely, even if use cases do explode as many speculate and is the basis for these expensive investments, they will be more likely to run on decentralized systems and not centralized as the financial bets are depending on. Nobody will control the technology, and all those data centers will at most service what is akin to an overly expensive app.

          Maybe they are hoping the PC becomes so expensive that everyone is forced to run everything in the cloud. Investors might also be hoping for regulatory capture. They are saying ai is dangerou; please regulate me in to a monopoly.

            I think especially that last part is 100% spot on. But I also don’t think you can stop decentralized open source AI.
