@kaia @coolboymew I wonder if the entire game streaming thing was actually "we are selling our unused GPU time" and now actual AI is using it so it's not "free" for them anymore.

@sun @kaia doubtful, isn't AI enterprise GPUs extremely specialized hardware? The "We can just use balance it out with gaming and AI" I don't think it's feasible

@coolboymew @kaia it's perfectly feasible because even though it's optimized for math crunching, at datacenter scale you can rasterize using your latent cpu and video encoding is already done separately using accelerators. Stadia died just as AI was taking off, the timing is right to close shop when there was no more idle GPUs because of AI demand, but I can't prove that actually happened.
