> just found themselves in a lucky situation. Then this luck should have equally found AMD, who even today are struggling to pick up the ball they've been dropping for a decade now. My last PC had a Radeon, and I waited the life time of that PC assuming AMD support was just around the corner, all the while renting Nvidia cards in the cloud for any serious projects. I've been in the ML space long enough to remember when people were just speculating about doing ML/computation on GPUs. Nvidia made that much easier and has continued to improve support and features for the past decade+ There insane success is certainly part luck, but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss all of it as merely happenstance.
