Making $$$ & keeping them are 2 different skills.

He's demonstrated the former 16B times, now he's demonstrating the latter.

The big downside risk I see for Nvidia is a garage startup inventing a more efficient AI algo.... that only needs 20W to run.

still a more efficient algo would be better run on gigawatts of compute

Possibly that is how you get the world we all know and live in today ^^

Does it? There's no guarantee that algorithms receive any benefit from scale. Some don't.

And of course, in support of such an algorithm existing you have humans. Clearly AGI is present in human minds, and it apparently runs on about 20W of power.
