"could lead to faster, more efficient"
Ooh, ooh, game engines? No. Physics models? Nope, not that. Cryptography, maybe useful against the coming Quantum Cryptodoom™ ? No, not that either. DSP? Image compression? Something? Hmmmm, what could benefit from faster matrix maths? What one singular thing could be so important that- it's a meme, of course it's a freaking meme. Ayyy Aaaiiiiyyyeeee must be the only possible thing of interest because that's the latest meme fad thing >:( grumble grumble grouch bite et cetera
Yes, I will hate every single meme-fad-thing as it happens unless it involves kittens. Or maybe one of a few other things, but NOT THAT. Hmph! Grr! And so on!
If this actually did lead to faster matrix multiplication, then essentially anything that can be done on a GPU would benefit. That definitely could include games, and physics models, along with a bunch of other applications (and yes, also AI stuff).
I'm sure the papers authors know all of that, but somehow along the line the article just became"faster and better AI"
