> Instead, Lisa Su for some insane reason refuses to build even the most mediocre ML-capable libraries for their GPUs.

Spending $665m on a company that builds AI tooling, is a refusal?

Considering people mostly bitch about AMD driver bugs and their GPU computing-related SDKs, I don't think buying a high-level AI sweat shop is going to fix their issues. I am not even sure if in the entire Silo AI you could find 5 people who understand AMD GPU assembly code and can effectively debug generated kernels.

They'd get more value offering $500k+ comp to a few people from https://handmadecities.com/

It is a wonder why you aren't the CEO.

That's all right: she is 20 or so years older, I'm still on track to get there.
