It's unclear why this drew downvotes, but to reiterate, the comment merely highlights historical facts about the CUDA moat and deliberately refrains from assertions about NVDA's long-term prospects or that the CUDA moat is unbreac

Alternatives exist, especially for mature and simple models. The point isn't that Nvidia has 100% market share, but rather that they command the most lucrative segment and none of these big spenders have found a way to quit their Nvidi

Google was omitted because they own the hardware and the models, but in retrospect, they represent a proof point nearly as compelling as OpenAI. Thanks for the comment. Google has leading models operating on leading hardware, backed by soph

Nvidia (NVDA) generates revenue with hardware, but digs moats with software. The CUDA moat is widely unappreciated and misunderstood. Dethroning Nvidia demands more than SOTA hardware. OpenAI, Meta, Google, AWS, AMD, and others have long fa

To address the downvotes, this comment isn't guaranteeing OAI's success. It merely notes the remarkably elevated probability of OAI escaping Nadella's grip, which was nearly unfathomable 12 months ago. Even after breaking fre

Nadella is a superb CEO, inarguably among the best of his generation. He believed in OpenAI when no one else did and deserves acclaim for this brilliant investment. But his "below them, above them, around them" quote on OpenAI may

This is a good question and encapsulates the challenges of food and drug regulation. Yes and no. At certain concentrations, many safe compounds become dangerous in humans. Even at tiny doses, foods like peanuts may be safe for the vast majo

Balancing safety and innovation in human health is incredibly difficult. This isn't a criticism of the FDA, but rather an observation of facts underscoring both the challenges and opportunities. Some foods consumed safely by humans are

With many research areas converging to comparable levels, the most critical piece is arguably vertical integration and forgoing the Nvidia tax. They haven't wielded this advantage as powerfully as possible, but changes here could signa

Amazon is a retailer and strives to offer choice, whether of books or compute services. AWS is the golden goose. If Amazon doesn't tie up Anthropic, AWS customers who need a SOTA LLM will spend on Azure or GCP. Think of Anthropic as th

This is unrelated to your main point, more to clarify an edge case for those interested in learning more: B cells can breach the BBB under certain conditions. At least one pathogen, Epstein-Barr virus, is known to inhabit B cells.

thanks for sharing. the implications are fascinating, if the findings are generalizable and reproducible. the study suggests LLMs may already be materially superior to experts in a critical field like medicine, and that inexpert users hold
