In the sense that it’s a matter of being in the right place at the right time, yes. Exactly the same thing.
The fact you don’t see it for whatever reason doesn’t make it wrong.

This is the part that’s flawed. They have actively targeted neural network applications with hardware and driver support since 2012.
Yes, they got lucky in that generative AI turned out to be massively popular, and required massively parallel computing capabilities, but luck is one part opportunity and one part preparedness. The reason they were able to capitalize is because they had the best graphics cards on the market and then specifically targeted AI applications.
