Sure, but that's the deal. I'll buy the latest nVidia 1080 card as soon as I can but renting these custom chips per minute would be a way better option for me.

Machine learning isn't just targeting the AI researcher market though -- it's widely used by a huge number of companies, and of course, by many of Google's most important products. I would argue that those markets combined are larger than gaming.
