Great post. It is like mining going to ASICs. We have hit limits and you now have to do your own silicon.

A perfect example is the Google new speech synthesis. Doing 16k samples a second through a NN is not going to be possible without your own silicon.

Listen to the samples. Then think the joules required to do it this way versus the old way and trying to create a price competitive product with the improved results.
