It is unbelievable to me the resources Tesla is expending on machine learning and automatic driving. They've transcended GPUs (12,000 wasn't enough) and are designing their own chips for custom supercomputers now.

I didn't know tesla used them for tensor processing. Or they needed tensor flow processing at all. Would that be for the self driving mode? Anyway: a big kvech in gaming cercles: no parts to get even needed part replacements since a lot is in the hands of crypto minners, or just available. I'll give this a bit of a bullwhip rating. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2021/06/19/crypto-miners-are-probably-to-blame-for-the-graphics-chip-shortage as well
