Still a bad bet. Their moat is deeper now than it was in 2022. The engineers you need to poach are all paid well over 1+ million USD per year now. The number of people capable of writing quality CUDA code to optimize transformer language models world-wide is likely less than 10000, and I'm being very generous. Nvidia holds a significant portion of that group, and some of the others you'll never find in the market at all since they hide behind discord profile pictures and mental illness.

Only reason that is hard is that CUDA is general purpose. You don’t need a graphics + GPGPU platform to run transformers. Nvidia is eating its own moat.
