    Because AI on its own doesn’t actually make a return, but by conflating the AI investment with a genuine productivity tool that’s making money, you can start to hide your poor choices.

      Wow, you are right. This is a way for them to pump the bubble and their stock price up even more.

            seems like altman /ms/amazon and google are kinda scammed by nvidia, arnt they less likely to get away less scathed, also oracle.

              Except Nvidia’s product works. It’s the shit software they decided they needed Nvidia’s product to run that kinda does something but not in a real world usable state, that’s the issue

                They’re being scammed in the sense that NVIDIA is selling a product for a usecase that can’t make them money despite NVIDIA advertising (or at least heavily implying) as such.

                “Look at all these shovels, you’re gonna make so much money if you dig with our shovels, I’m sure you’re gonna find the treasure any minute!” knowing full well that there’s no treasure, or at least definitely not enough for everyone.

                  It’s like every gold rush in history, the ones who get rich are those selling the equipment, not those digging for gold.

      they are trying hard to peddle it to govt usage since they are likely a guaranteed revenue stream, things like palintir is being peddle hard by thiel to multiple countries.(including israel and defense contracting)
