You might have noticed I’ve been using this blog as my answer file. Every post answers a complicated question that’s too important to leave unanswered but too complicated to explain in casual conversation.

One question I run into is: “Don’t you think we’re moving toward special-purpose AI hardware, in the same way that the ATI and nVidia GPUs accelerate 3D graphics?”

This post explains why that will never happen, and why we should be happy that it won’t.
