> Instead, what this pushes, is accomplishing the removal of humans from humanity.

If you buy the marketing, yeah. But we aren't really seeing that in the tech sector. We haven't seen it succeed in the entertainment sector... it's still fighting for relevance in the medical and defense industries too. The number and quality of jobs that AI replaced is probably still quite low, and it will probably remain that way even after Stargate.

AI is DOA. LLMs have no successor, and the transformer architecture hit it's bathtub curve years ago.

Jensen gets what he wants because he works with the industry. It's funny to see people object to CUDA and Nvidia's dominance but then refuse to suggest an alternative. An open standard managed by an independent and unbiased third-party? We tried that, OEMs abandoned it. NPU hardware tailor-made for specific inference tasks? Too slow, too niche, too often ends up as wasted silicon. Alternative manufacturer-specific SDKs integrated with one high-level library? ONNX tried that and died in obscurity.

Nvidia got where they are today by doing exactly what AMD and Apple couldn't figure out. People give Jensen their water because it's wasted in anyone else's hands.

Agreed, but it seems we're gonna ride the AI hype all the way to the "top".

Tell me you didn’t read the DeepSeek R1 paper without telling me you also don’t know about reinforcement learning.
