    I think it’s a lost cause. Essentially both crypto and AI were big because someone figured out how to offload shit to a GPU efficiently. There’s probably a ton of other appllications for GPUs we haven’t even tapped.

      I’ve got this crazy idea where we can use GPUs to render 3D scenes efficiently.

      Serial compute isn’t doing the double-every-18-months-in-speed since something like the early 2000s.

      Unlike with serial compute, not all problems can be solved, run faster, with parallel compute. But at some point, unless we figure out some sort of new way to play with physics, we pretty much have to move to parallel compute where we can if we want much more performance.
