Basically, Nvidia et al. don't want the AI research to move in a direction that requires less GPU compute, less training data, and less inference compute.
Someone on HN (I don't remember the name) mentioned that the idea of deep learning is backed by big tech because it benefits them the most as they are the only players in town with huge amounts of data. If the AI community would find entirely different approaches to AGI (maybe not even learning), who do you think would suffer the most from the implications?
