even putting aside how rust ownership semantics map poorly onto gpu programming, ml researchers will never learn rust, this will never ever happen...

While I agree in principle, CUDA is more than only AI, as people keep forgetting.

everyone else who uses cuda isn't going to learn rust either

First Rust needs to have tier 1 support for CUDA, in a way that doesn't feel like yak shaving when coding for CUDA.

The ML researchers are relying on libraries written by someone else. Today, those libraries are mostly C++, and they would benefit from Rust same as most other C++ codebases.

ML reachers don’t write code, they ask ChatGPT to make a horribly inefficient, non-portable notebook that has to be rewritten from scratch :)

It's made easier by that notebook only having to work just once, to produce some plots for the paper/press release/demo.

I don’t think this is true. It seems to me more that nobody has put in a serious effort to make a nice interface build using Rust.

GPGPU programming != ML.
