pretty much my take as well. I haven’t seen any actual information from a primary source, just lots of hearsay and “what we think happened” analyst shit (e.g. that analyst group in the twitter screenshot has names but no citation/links)
and doubly yep on the “everyone could just be lying” bit
the wildest bit is that one could literally just … go do the thing. like you could grab the sdk and run through the tutorial and actually have babby’s first gpu program in not too long at all[0], with all the lovely little bits of knowledge that entails
but nah, easier to just make some nonsense up out of thirdhand conversations misheard out of a gamer discord talking about a news post of a journalist misunderstanding a PR statement, and then confidently spout that synthesis
[0] - I’m eliding “make the cuda toolchain run” for argument of simplicity. could just rent a box that has it, for instance
I want to say “plato’s cave of media awareness” but that’s perhaps too much a mouthful
is this the They I keep hearing about at parties? the ones behind takeout burgers getting smaller? the bastards!
yep, clueless. can't tell a register apart from a soprano. and allocs? the memory's right there in the machine, it has it already! why does it need an alloc!
fuckin' dipshit

for anyone reading this comment hoping for an actual eli5, the "technical POV" here is nonsense bullshit. you don't program GPUs with assembly.
the rest of the comment is the poster filling in bad comparisons with worse details
and one doesn't program GPUs with assembly (in the sense as it's used with CPUs)
aww, look at the little collaborators trying to pretend they both got duped instead of both having been active and enthusiastic enablers
