“Obviously, what follows that Is video, because a video is just a collection of images. But that takes an enormous amount of compute right now. And that's one of the reasons it's been sort of set aside by the leading labs. So unbelievably computation intensive.”

Feldman: Nvidia CUDA lost 70% of frontier AI model training market share
“I think two years ago every state of the art model was trained in a Cuda flow. And right now, Gemini is trained without Cuda. Anthropical is trained without Cuda. Open AI as strange as could. So in a one or two year period, they lost 70% share. Of training mod…”
Feldman: AI is causing irreparable damage to the SaaS business model
“I think the business of dashboarding and the business, the AI doesn't the damages doing the SAS is, I think, unreparable. You could ask your AI, build me a tool like Salesforce. 30 seconds later, you have a working tool.”

“And we were the fastest at it, and the largest, and, you know, our sales were more than 10 times the Grox, and they paid twenty billion dollars for the number two collector.”
