Surprised to see a focus on companies like OpenAI, Google and Apple but nothing on Nvidia. They're the king, they run the market, they decide who does what and where they do it at. Nobody but Nvidia was invested in an HPC stack that extended to a wide range of consumer and server hardware, all we can do today is mourn the smoldering corpse of OpenCL and the industry's failure to work together. Nvidia profits because Apple, Google and Microsoft all refuse to bury their hatchet. AI could end up being a failure even bigger than crypto, and Nvidia would be made king off it regardless. Even if it succeeds, who else besides Nvidia sells integrated HPC systems on TSMC silicon? They're peerless, the hostility between vendors ensures that nobody will ever cooperate long enough to replace CUDA.
