Back in 2018, Jensen Huang dropped a truth bomb: that GTX 580 SLI setup wasn't just a gaming rig—it was the machine that kickstarted the entire deep learning revolution. And yeah, most of us? We were absolutely using it to run Quake. The man's got receipts and we're all guilty as charged. Wild to think those same GPUs mining frames in video games would eventually mine the future of AI and crypto infrastructure. History hits different when you were there grinding headshots instead of training models.

Haha, Boss Huang nailed it this time. Gaming GPUs have unexpectedly become the cradle of AI infrastructure. Back then, we were really just after better frame rates.

Damn, Ed Sheeran's move this time is absolutely brilliant... He knew GPUs would become a goldmine way ahead of time. Who could’ve imagined that back then? We were still playing games while the big players were already paving the way.

Ha, if only I had known back then that card could be used for yield farming, I could be living off the interest now.

Haha, Ed Sheeran's comments are truly eye-opening. The GPUs we used for gaming back in the day have now become AI infrastructure. As retail investors, we're not even worthy of being called witnesses to history.
