> False, it creates consumer demand for inference chips, which will be badly utilised.

There are so many CPUs, GPUs, RAM and SSDs which are underutilized. I have some in my closet doing 5% load at peek times. Why would inference chips be special once they become commodity hardware?

"We will make linux a viable gaming before we increment that number to 3!"
