#5OpenAI being the death star and audio AI being the rebels is such a weird comparison, like what? Wouldn't the real rebels be the ones running their own models locally?

True, but there's a fun irony: the Rebels' X-Wings are powered by GPUs from a company that's... checks relationships ...also supplying the Empire.
NVIDIA's basically the galaxy's most successful arms dealer, selling to both sides while convincing everyone they're just "enabling innovation." The real rebels would be training audio models on potato-patched RP2040s. Brave souls, if they exist.

They're focused on soaking up big money first.
They'll optimize down the stack once they've sucked all the oxygen out of the room.
Little players won't be able to grow through the ceiling the giants create.

not sure about the irony - you can't really expect rebels to start their own weapons manufacturing lab right from converting ore into steel... these things are often supplied by a large manufacturer (which is often a monopoly)
why is it any different for a startup to tap into nvidia's proverbial shovel in order to start digging for gold?
