So is a GPU

The story is literally about Tesla buying 1.5B usd worth of it. Sure Elon has some interests in the direction but I doubt Tesla is going to use the bought Bitcoin for drugs.

You are not querying the mesh you are querying the accel structure.

To show why it is wrong: Change the mesh every frame.

Think of it like so:

float distance_to_surface_of_model(x, y, z);

For every point in 3d space you can get the distance to the surface. So, if you have a camera you can shoot a ray into the scene and pick some points on it to ask if it is inside the model. if so you paint that pixel with the surface material of the model. Then it's just a matter of picking a good way of sampling points along the camera ray. usually this distance function is some basic math (distance to sphere or so). But here they take a 3d mesh and create a neural network that can answer the question of distance to it (since meshes are very slow at that).

> If it’s controversial, the writing will tend towards the careful middle.

No, it will tend towards the side of those who has the most admin rights and most time for reverts. They will have no interest in neutrality

If you challenge it before hand you have no damages to base a case on.
