> Long story short if I had money that would be relevant in this context I would invest really hard into Tenstorrent.

I would happily accept a bet (e.g. $100 bucks or a nice bottle of whiskey) from you (or anyone) that atomicsemi is successful. I will just bet against it because I am skeptical that a new company is successful in a capital intensive segment.

It is probably slightly insulting, foolish, and arrogant to bet against the famous Jim Killer on a website dedicated to startups. This should not be a dig against Sam and Jim Killer. I guess that will try something truly innovative. But if I look a the past, the odds seem to be stacked against them.

I would not bet on atomicsemi, I think it's just a tool for prototyping in quick iterations.

And Tenstorrent I still see as a risky bet, but in my mind it's very +EV.

Everything is ML nowadays and we still use very naive approach driven by what hardware was available at hand.
