I appreciate developing ROCm into something competitive with CUDA would require a lot of work, both internally within AMD and with external contributions to the relevant open source libraries.

However the amount of resources at stake is incredible. The delta between NVIDIA's value and AMD's is bigger than the annual GDP of Spain. Even if they needed to hire a few thousand engineers at a few million in comp each, it'd still be a good investment.

If AMD developers use AI deployed on nvidia hardware to create tools that complete against nvidia as a company but overall improves outcomes because of competition, would this be an example of co evolution observable in human time standards... I feel like ai is evolving, taking a stable form in this complex multi dimension multi paradigm sweet spot of an environment we have created, on top of this technical, social and governmental infrastructure and we're watching it live on discovery tech filtered into a 2d video narrated by some idiot who has no right to be as confident as he sounds. I'm sorry I'm on withdrawal from quitting mass media and I'm very bored.
