Yeah it was late, sorry. If you don't mind: which comment are you referring to? (Seems we have a different top by now).

This one: "This is why Google built TPUs. This alone justifies the whole program by itself. This level of natural language understanding, once it is harnessed for applications and made efficient enough for wide use, is going to revolutionize literally everything Google does. Owning the chips that can do this is incredibly valuable and companies that are stuck purchasing or renting whatever Nvidia makes are going to be at a disadvantage."
The last thing I read about that was that nVidia hardware is better than TPUs now, those chips don't seem to be a particular competitive advantage (any more?) and all the AI startups seem to be using Azure anyway. Things change fast.
