The article gives the opinion that this is an entirely negative thing to have happened, and implies that it is bad for consumers. While it’s absolutely bad for Nvidia, I’m not convinced it’s bad for ‘progress’ of GPU/AI etc development. It’s obvious that Nvidia is big enough and rich enough to weather this storm, even if everything is released online, they will still be pretty dominant no matter how this plays out. However I can easily foresee this info becoming public eventually making GPU tech cheaper and more efficient simply through increased competition. If there’s a dozen companies able to make ‘Nvidia Compatible’ drivers and hardware, then it stands to reason consumers will be the winners with more choice and lower prices. This of course comes at the expense of Nvidias, perhaps well deserved, monopoly profits.
