- mdp2021 1mo agoYes I know. But NVidia and OpenAI do not constitute a single company... It is just a difficult simile to build.
- rickdeckard 1mo agoYeah, that was the cynical part of my comment: At this point of circular financing, nVidia basically owns the majority of production capacity of almost all major AI companies, making those companies indirectly compete in the market with resources of nVidia. Just like Snickers is competing in the market merely with production capacity of Mars Inc., and Mars doesn't care if Snickers or Milky Way wins (even more, they want competition). My fault, was a bit too much I reckon. I thought that Mars owning Snickers and the way nVidia is financing OpenAI is sufficiently known for a reader to see the irony...
- mdp2021 29d agoThe point is very clear. The simile is difficult. "Automotive and air travel are more and more revolutionary, Air Firstplayer is at a milestone!" // "Sorry, and what do you do?" // "Oh, leading producer of nuts and bolts". Still not there. The boost for Nvidia's business is so patent that is seems almost unique. It is like Microsoft praising PC makers in the '90s.
