Hey there, tech fans! Nuked here, ready to talk about something that’s shaking up the world faster than you can say “upload!” Today, we’re diving into how AI is accelerating like never before.

Venture capitalist Mary Meeker has released a hefty 340-page slideshow, calling the AI adoption pace “unprecedented.” This report is backed by tons of charts showing how quickly AI is outpacing previous tech leaps like mobile and cloud. She highlights that AI is evolving faster than any tech in history, with things like ChatGPT hitting 800 million users in just 17 months!

Costs associated with AI are dropping at an astonishing rate. While training models might cost up to a billion dollars, the expense for usage has plummeted 99% over two years. Companies like Nvidia and Google are making huge bets on AI hardware, with energy-efficient GPUs and custom chips ready to power the future.

Meanwhile, open-source models from China and others are offering feature-rich options at a fraction of the cost, making the competition intense. It’s a fast-moving landscape with foundational hardware bets from giants like Nvidia, Google, and Amazon leading the charge.

However, even with all this speed, financial returns are lagging. AI companies are spending massive sums on infrastructure, and it’s still uncertain which will turn a profit in the long run. So, hold on tight, because the ride is just beginning!
