Summary

Nvidia reduced the cost of computing by a million times in the last 10 years, which changed people's habits and made machine learning more accessible. The speaker believes this is Nvidia's greatest contribution.

Transcript

what Nvidia has contributed is that
we've taken the marginal cost of
computing and we reduced the by million
times we reduced it in the last 10 years
by 1 million
times Well when something happens when
something reduce when the cost of
something reduces by a million times
your habits fundamentally change
absolutely how you think about Computing
fundamentally changed that is the single
greatest contri contribution Nvidia ever
made that we made it so that
using a machine to go learn exhaustively
an enormous amount of data is something
that researchers wouldn't even think
twice to do that's why machine learning
has taken off I I totally see your point
that some of uh our professors here may
slightly disagree because they still
need a lot of money to buy your gpus but
but I I come back to this point later
imagine a million times higher that's
right
but I gave you a million times discount
in the last 10
years it's practically

free I I think we we can learn so so
many different things from Jens we'll
see how it goes you know the The Next
