its nvidia and AI creating a bubble on the belief they’ll be able to get profit and get out before it pops.

But all it is… is imaginary money going around in circles. nvidia invests a trillion in AI, AI buys a trillion dollars of nvidia videocards from some nebulous point in the future where they arent made yet, nvidia invests that trillion back into AI, AI uses it to buy ridiculous amounts of ram that wont be made for years, RAM invests it back into AI, and on and on they go, generating imaginary money and value, by buying imaginary things.

under a sane government this would be investigated as raw stock manipulation and fraud

I really hope when this bubble pops nvidia is destroyed in the process along with the AI companies.

Sort of the joke in this. Crime in western countries has declined as police hyper-surveillance has increased

Crime has been on a significant downturn ever since lead was removed from gasoline, and thus stopped being vaporized in the air.

Are there places where crime spikes upward? yes, but almost 100% of the time thats caused by the failure of local, state, or federal governments creating disadvantaged, poor, underserviced people. . and you treat people poorly and keep them desperate long enough, then crime is going to occur.

They’ll happily spend millions on the crime part, but they wont even acknowledge the underlying issue that could be addressed for far less than what oppression costs.

nvidia gives a trillion dollars to AI, AI buys a trillion dollars of future, currently unmade video cards to run the AI, nvidia gives AI another trillion dollars, AI buys another trillion dollars of unmade future cards, etc etc etc.

Its the biggest, highest energy economic ouroborus I’ve ever seen.

I cant see how nvidia survives the pop, and quite frankly, I’d be glad to see nvidia die. its been dragging the GPU market in bad directions for a decade+ now and I think it’d be better to be free of its influence… and it’d open the door to new players to step up and competition again.

why is any critical control equipment internet accessible.

I understand some machines might need internet to send reports and make document filings and shit. But it should not be the critical control equipment that makes the system function. And there should be a massive physical gap between the internet machines and the critical machines.

Jesus christ, even by the abysmally low bar I have for humanity, it still finds ways to dig itself a path under it.

They don’t want people knowing they are being recorded.

A gopro or a phone held up is basically an indicator of recording happening, which people can choose to avoid if they want to.

But pervert glasses don’t hold up that signal, and the pathetic attempt to make a signal (the LED) is easily covered or otherwise bypassed so you can creep on people without them ever knowing.
