> Anything that knocks Nvidia down a notch is good for humanity.

I don't love Nvidia a whole lot but I can't understand where this sentinent comes from. Apple abandoned their partnership with Nvidia, tried to support their own CUDA alternative with blackjack and hookers (OpenCL), abandoned that, and began rolling out a proprietary replacement.

CUDA sucks for the average Joe, but Apple abandoned any chance of taking the high road when they cut ties with Khronos. Apple doesn't want better AI infrastructure for humanity; they envy the control Nvidia wields and want it for themselves. Metal versus CUDA is the type of competition where no matter who wins, humanity loses. Bring back OpenCL, then we'll talk about net positives again.
