  Software. I know surface level about the current AI environment and I have friends saying buy to Nvidia but I was wondering when there would be improvements to the software.

  Example, we used to need a pretty top notch PC to play Doom but now we can emulate the hardware and run it on a pregnancy test.

    This assumes some kind of eureka innovation, right? A 96% reduction in compute demands per “token” is revolutionary. I haven’t seen anyone yet explain what that innovation is, exactly. There is also mixed reporting on how “open source” DeekSeek is, with many claiming it’s only “open weight,” meaning people are having difficulty reproducing the creation of the model. It wouldn’t be the first time that a claim out of China were false, and I think it wise to reproduce any such claims before running around with our arms in the air.

      Agreed. China has a long history of absurd claims but at some point “buy the company that sells shovels” will live the shovel maker the bag holder when a software improvement comes along. Just a mater of when.
