He had very little say in the forces that "destroyed the PC market". When he co-founded NVidia, it wasn't to become a geopolitical power player - no one could have predicted that 3d accelerator cards for gaming on PCs would have that kind of impact. If anything, NVidia has made some questionable business moves to not abandon their initial market, such as trying to prevent crypto mining on the cheaper cards meant for gaming.
His successor, however, probably got in position deliberately seeking geopolitical power. They're going to be worse in every way (except cheating on their spouse with subordinates, they're probably not going to do that).
Hm, it looks like they use Jev terminology ("noul") if not outright Jev syntax, but the word "Jev" doesn't seem to be mentioned at all. Bit of a dick move to a much smaller competitor to not acknowledge the influence.
And when Donald Trump was elected, a lot of the engine of that performative BS switched sides without missing a beat, and we went from corporate pinkwashing to corporate stinkwashing.
Same with dialog-tuning in the first place. That you could manipulate the context of unicorn-text generators like GPT-2 in order to actually have something like a conversation with them, or that a model could generate "private thoughts" before answering, were ideas which weren't as self-evident as they seem now. But still ideas a lot of people had at the same time.
> But China because it’s a communist dictatorship restricted its market and began doing things that were long-term oriented toward depriving others of power and manufacturing capability for their regime’s private gain.
As other states famously don't do things for their regime's private gain? (Even calling it "private gain" is arguably stretching it in the case of China, the other superpowers USA and Russia are certainly much better at the private gain part)
"Depriving others of power" other states definitively do whenever they can, and they're often better at it. Depriving others of manufacturing wasn't so much China did, as something it said "yes please" to and played along with. Manufacturing was offshored to a lot of other countries than China, this was something western leadership, for whatever reason, deeply wanted.
He had a music theory I'm sure, but the overlap of that with what's currently being taught in conservatories (let alone what was taught in his time), I'm less sure about.
The audiences exist, but there's ten of you for every one of them. There is a market for low effort - always was - but AI has saturated it worse than ever.
Use AI for the things that aren't art, but craft. And accept that no one will pay for the craft, so the more things you resign to be craft-not-art, the less reason there will be for anyone to play, let alone buy, your game.
Create away. But if you try to sell it, I will assume you are a get-rich-quicker, and I'll warn people against your game like I warn people against MLM schemes or 3d printed tat hawked on Etsy.
