Comment on The AI emperor has no clothes

Comments

Hmm... I'd say most AI emperors have no clothes -- that is, no profits and no prospect of them in the foreseeable future.[a]

A tiny number of them are actually wearing something, like a fig leaf. They are the ones won't be caught in embarrassment when an innocent child points most emperors are walking around in the buff.

[a] Cloud providers, who do earn profits, are service providers to emperors, not emperors on their own.

This is precisely why nVidia is providing GPU to AI companies, and not trying to be one themselves ... loads more money to be made selling shovels to prospectors than in being a prospector
