DEI was so good and righteous idea that it shifted most of the western world to the right more than dozens of islamist terrorist attacks in previous decades. And ofc. all US corporations would follow this cultural change or they’ll risk ant

WebGPU don't have access to most accelerators in GPU so it would be super slow compared to CUDNN version but pure CUDA would be only x times times faster.
