This doesn't work for this.
So as you mentioned, NVIDIA is this company that's adapting to the environment.
So which point can you say...
Did the environment change and you began adapting sort of secretly in the early days from GPU for gaming, maybe the early deep learning revolution to we're now going to start thinking of it as an AI factory.
What does NVIDIA do?
It produces AI, let's build a factory that makes AI.
So putting CUDA on GeForce could not afford to do.
Can you explain that decision?
Why boldly choose to do that anyway?
For people who don't know, it turned out to be, spoiler alert, one of the most incredibly brilliant decisions ever made by a company.
So CUDA turned out to be
an incredible foundation for computation in this AI infrastructure world.
Thank you.
You're just setting the context.
It turned out to be a good decision.
And then that became the platform, the foundation for the deep learning revolution.
That existential moment, do you remember, what were those meetings like?
