I feel this is bigger than the 5x series GPUs. Given the craze around AI/LLMs, this can also potentially eat into Apple’s slice of the enthusiast AI dev segment once the M4 Max/Ultra Mac minis are released. I sure wished I held some Nvidia stocks, they seem to be doing everything right in the last few years!

I think the enthusiast side of things is a negligible part of the market.

That said, enthusiasts do help drive a lot of the improvements to the tech stack so if they start using this, it’ll entrench NVIDIA even more.

If I were NVidia, I would be throwing everything I could at making entertainment experiences that need one of these to run...

I mean, this is awfully close to being "Her" in a box, right?

I feel like a lot of people miss that Her was a dystopian future, not an ideal to hit.

Also, it’s $3000. For that you could buy subscriptions to OpenAI etc and have the dystopian partner everywhere you go.

Fun fact: Her was set in the year 2025.

Boring fact: The underlying theme of the movie Her is actually divorce and the destructive impact it has on people, the futuristic AI stuff is just for stuffing!

The overall theme of Her was human relationships. It was not about AI and not just about divorce in particular.The AI was just a plot device to include a bodyless person into the equation. Watch it again with this in mind and you will see what I mean.

The universal theme of Her was the set of harmonics that define what is something and the thresholds, boundaries, windows onto what is not thatthing but someotherthing, even if the thing perceived is a mirror, not just about human relationships in particular. The relationship was just a plot device to make a work of deep philosophy into a marketable romantic comedy.
