It's necessary for my very important hobby of generating anime nudes.

last I heard AMD is working on CUDA working on their GPUs and I saw a post saying it was pretty complete by now (although I myself don't keep up with that sort of stuff)
Well, right after that Nvidia amended their license agreements stating that you cannot use CUDA with any translation layers.
The project you're thinking of is ZLUDA.
NVIDIA finally being the whole bitch it seems, not unexpected when it comes to tech monopolies.
In the words of our lord and savior Linus Torvalds "NVIDIA, fuck you! 🖕", amen.
In all reality, a lot of individuals aren't gonna care when it comes to EULA B's unless they absolutely depend on it and this whole move has me want an AMD gpu even more.
Ya, I was a fairly big Nvidia defender for the past few years. I used a ton of their stuff for my last job, and genuinely didn't have any issues with them (all Linux systems, gaming and AI workloads).
But their recent actions have really soured my view of them.
It's sad that more companies are just willing to screw their customers and squeeze them dry of every last penny just for the sake of profit and infinite growth even though we know infinite growth will never be attainable.
Every corporate entity is willing to forfeit their goals for money, especially if they hold a monopoly in a certain space and when growth slows they will look for other ways to offset that income.
I've learned that loyalty means jack shit to the company and it's just another thing they can exploit you with, I'm not loyal to AMD but right now they're the least unethical party in this race to the bottom.
