- Comment on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang complains about stock price slide during all-hands meeting — says market did not appreciate company’s ‘incredible’ quarter 9 hours ago:
“If we delivered a bad quarter, it is evidence there’s an AI bubble. If we delivered a great quarter, we are fueling the AI bubble.”
The proper way to read this is:
“We absolutely, 100% are in an already over inflated bubble, therefore if we deliver a bad quarter it could be a sign of the bubble popping. If we deliver a good quarter, we are fueling the bubble further”
I wonder how the quarters are going to look next year when OpenAI cannot pay Oracle 6 times their current revenue in contracts, and therefore Oracle won’t deliver the contracted Data Center capacity requiring 2 non-existen Hoover Dams worth of power to run them and therefore NVidia will be left holding the bag on millions of commissioned but not sold GPUs

Did anyone else, forced to use MS at work, wake up to an email from Sundar Pichai about the wonders of Copilot?
They are fucking desperate for anyone to take up on this garbage tech

- Comment on Peter Thiel dumps entire Nvidia stake, slashes Tesla holdings amid bubble fears 4 days ago:
The worst part is not JUST the circular investment making up basically all the new investment in the last few months… but the fact they are all based in impossible-to-deliver metrics.
So it is literally not a matter of “if” the bubble pops, it’s a matter of when the market speculators will no longer be able to hide it

When Covid hit, I decided I finally had enough time to invest in a gaming PC. My son and I put one together and, thinking I would miss out on many games, we set it up to dual boot. 3 months later we both realized we wanted nothing that “only ran on Windows” so we recovered the wasted space and it became a Linux only machine (like the rest in my house)
I can also confirm my experience has been the same re any other application or piece of software. My current daily driver is basically against all recommendations for a daily driver: running Garuda Dragonized with a side of Hyprland, even the Garuda folks do not recommend this mix but I fell in love with Hyprland and my son still prefers KDE. I had to learn a lot to configure everything in Hyprland from scratch (first tried it with someone’s config but decided I wanted my own). Took a bit of learning but it was so much fun and in the last 5 months since I implemented this crazy soup, I have had no freezes, no hangs, no apps dying on me, nothing… everything is fast, solid and more importantly, I know and control every aspect of the experience…

Indeed…
My Linux story started 15 years ago. I’m a tech guy (systems admin at the time) and reached the “I work with computers all day, don’t need more of that at home” stage (which was insane to think of a few years before)… tried Linux, loved it and still today my house is a junk yard of old computers having their best second life.
EXACTLY parallel to cutting my cable, my experience ditching MS (which I still have to use about 20% at work) has been one where I felt it was needed but hesitant I would miss out, but in all this time, the more I check MS (or cable TV) the more I realize I am missing NOTHING and my life is better for distancing myself from it

You are correct… yet it is so sad that a modicum of respect for their clients is held up as if Apple self immolated out of principle… the bar is THAT low

The best part here is that, when the AI bubble pops, AI will become a dirty word for a while before settling in some, much smaller, feature.
MS is going all gas no brakes on AI and when that bubble pops, their entire ecosystem will be toxic and laughable

- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 3 weeks ago:
me too, but the GPU used for AI are not the same as what we would use at home.
maybe the factories can produce both kinds and they would be cheaper, but it is speculation at this point
- Comment on Microsoft seemingly just revealed that OpenAI lost $11.5B last quarter 3 weeks ago:
this is not a bad analogy, but you are off by orders of magnitude
more importantly, both Uber and Amazon always had a path to profitability (Amazon specifically was already making tons of money on AWS long before the store front made money). AI has already been shown to not have a path to profitability; whatever little value companies around the world have been able to extract, cannot pay the cost of producing it.
think of it this way:
You produce a little car that can drive 2 people and some bags around, it costs you $1000 to make and you sell it for $3000 which a ton of people can afford… you have a path to profitability
I enter the market with a car that can carry 20 people, plus full on luggage for all and it moves twice as fast… but, in practice, I can only really move 3 people and often take them the wrong way, also the luggage was a complete lie and I can only allow passengers with their purses… also my car cost $50,000 to make so I would have to sell it for $70,000 and nobody would pay that when they could get 20 of your cars for less… also also, I promised the people making some parts of my car that would invest 7 kajillion on their companies somehow.
Which company would succeed? yours or mine?

There is no difference anymore

And even though NVIDIA is better place as they do produce something, but the something in play has little value out of the AI bubble.
NVIDIA could be left holding the bag on a super increased capacity to produce something that nobody wants anymore (or at least nowhere near at the levels we have now) so they are still very much exposed.

What? there was no such thing a “bubble” around the Metaverse… (at least not the economic slang term “bubble”)
From the first video of the Zuck presenting the idea, everyone just laugh it off… Meta did waste tons of money on it but they had the money to burn so there was no bubble at all in play here
If I am rich and stupid, I may think a pool in the roof of my house is a great idea. I can spend the value of the house having it built and then have the house collapse on me. Since I am rich, I can just buy another house or pay to rebuild it and that’s the end… no bubble.
However, if I am pitching plans for pools on roofs… and millions of people buy into it, many of whom can barely afford my terrible plans, when the houses start collapsing, too many people will be left with no house or means to procure another one… that’s a bubble

- Comment on Amazon cutting thousands of corporate roles [including video games] 3 weeks ago:
Galetti also espoused the benefits of AI in her message to employees, and claimed the oft-criticized technology is already allowing companies like Amazon to “innovate much faster than ever before.” She suggested it’s important for the company to reduce its headcount in order to take advantage of the perceived opportunity presented by the tech.
This screams of, we need to cut heads so we can pretend to be innovating with AI somehow
Most likely, they are just hiding all the sunken AI investment that has returned nothing in terms of revenue
