A reminder: Even years after inventing CUDA, Nvidia, the top GPU manufacturer, was fighting for survival. I'm not sure what saved them - perhaps crypto.

If you ignore the money, they appeared quite strong. But they struggled financially. Intel famously considered buying them around 2010 because they knew they could buy them cheap - Nvidia might not survive and weren't in a position to negotiate). Thankfully, the Intel CEO killed the idea because he knew Jensen wouldn't work well with Intel.

Nvidia may not have been saved by "bean counters", but they do have a place in the world.

Beautifully put. I'm about as excited for LLMs as an artist would be for a robot that can paint. I know a lot of people out there can't imagine actually enjoying programming though.

I wonder if we're going to see more irresponsible software from people vibe coding shit together and running it without even knowing what it's doing.

Isn't the answer just: we grew up (evolved) on Earth, so from our perspective it's an Eden? Everyone's home planet must seem like an Eden to them, right?

Have you considered you might be a robot?

I also got stuck there. If a site gives me that, either some customer is paying me to use that site (I'll paste the screenshot into an AI) or I'll use another site.

I always admire the level of effort Neal puts into his creations. Bravo!

So when product comes to you with stupid requirements, push back!
