The buried lede here is we could've had four major players in the GPU space, if it weren't for those meddling board members. This fourth one surely would've been built with compute in mind from the ground up, which might have finally put out a real competitor to CUDA.
The buried part of that is that some Middle East sovereign fund would also control them.
Which if we take the “anti-aging tech, water rights in Arizona adjacent to TSMC, ip3 nuclear tech,petrodollar, and hobby owning of republicans” historical context into account makes this an extremely bad decision for humanity.
Unlikely. They're probably looking for investors all over. The Middle East just happens to be one such destination.
