That's not to say the two men don't think AI will be helpful in the future. Indeed, Torvalds noted one good side effect already: "NVIDIA has gotten better at talking to Linux kernel developers and working with Linux memory management," because of its need for Linux to run AI's large language models (LLMs) efficiently.

so THATS why we are getting better nvidia support.

You didn't know GPUs are used for training/running DNN?

sure, but am i surprised this is the only reason they improved desktop drivers for us? no.

am i disappointed? yeah, a little.

Hahaha. I love it. Fuck closed source hardware gatekeepers.

Nice to see them groveling for performance.

Kneel!!

C'mon, I can joke. Such a cathartic paragraph to read. Intractable cunts.
