He's already filthy rich even if he got fired tomorrow.
Looks at numbers.
Subtracts money being spent, from money being earned.
Huh.
Are you sure?

The issue with lies, and any good liar will tell you that, is that once you lie you need to maintain that lie forever. You keep adding new lies, new layers, new context, and this house of cards becomes more and more convoluted, large, and fragile. It takes one piece to fall for everything to come down, yet, because everything is a chain of lies, you can't stop.
So imagine what happens when you take the most valuable GPU company and go all in on AI, creating insane investments into everything that happens to use those two letters, purposely entering into circles where one company invests into another that invests back into the same company.
You can't get out, you're too far deep into the web of lies. You are so deep you must convince yourself with your own lies, because you added so many and everything is so fragile that your own mind is now an obstacle.
Good fucking luck when it crashes down.
Can confirm. As far as my mom in 1998 knew, I didn't have access to the internet. I needed the password to go on her Earthlink 56k internet account.
I'm 42 now, and my mom STILL thinks I never knew her password.
I'm 42 years old, and still remember it, because of how many times 15 year old me typed that in.
I guess I don't need to "maintain" that lie anymore. I can't imagine a scenario where my 70+ year old mother will ask me about that exact situation, or why it would matter today.
I have always known. Love. -Mum
Edit: Vast majority of people have crap password management practices. :)
Didn't even think of that. Changed it.
You can however share her maiden name, name of her first pet, and favourite movie - those are 3 harmless questions.

Snake oil salesman says snake oil market is stronger than it’s ever been
Given how many scams have surged in recent years, I kind of agree with that parody statement.
We are officially at the denial stage of this developing economic disaster.
At least they already fired everybody, in anticipation of their wild AI success. Hopefully, some of these companies will pivot, and figure out how to actually survive, and they'll have to hire a lot of people to replace their AI.
See we keep getting told that AI is a great success and also a threat to humanity and that it's going to take over the world in 5 minutes if we're not careful. It has been literally years now and nothing has happened.
If that isn't evidence of a bubble I don't know what is. But somehow the complete lack of any meaningful progress seems to convince people even more
LLMs like what is being overhyped cannot take over the world.
They are not constant-thought processors. They are the most overbuilt autocomplete of all time.
The “take over the world” problem is the capitalists who see dollar signs in automating away humans.
A lot of the "AI" layoffs were using it as a plausible excuse for layoffs they wanted to do anyway. So I don't anticipate a lot of them coming back.

Never trust a man in his 70s wearing a new shiny leather coat.
Everybody knows this, right? It's a general rule, like never accepting a ride in a white cargo van.
Just a great guy doing great things.
Rock stars doing this stuff somewhat makes sense, it's all in good fun, and who hasn't had a crush on some celebrity singer or actor?
but a CEO? Seriously?
Elon's gunna be so fuckin' jealous when he sees this.

I mean, seems like that's what the person wanted, no?
Sure, but as the CEO of one of the most valuable companies in the world, shouldn't he think about how bad the optics of this are?
literally the coolest thing he's done
should sign more tits instead of begging people to stop complaining about AI, maybe stonk price would go up more

This feels like similar energy to getting outraged about a tan suit.
Were all involved parties consenting? That's the only thing that matters.
Plus on the optics side, we've yet to see if being in the Epstein files is bad enough optics for CEOs, so I think "signed something on an adult woman's boobs when she most likely specifically requested/offered it" is entirely a non-issue.

Hm gotta be honest, I don't give a shit about optics, especially since that asshole is plenty bad regardless.
This guy has kids right? I would be so embarrassed
Let hope it not only stalls but vaporizes.
The whole thing some like some giant check kiting scam or some weird looping Ponzi scheme. I’m going to invest money into your company so you can buy more of my products. Where is all the money coming from in the first place? Neither of these companies should be worth as much as they are.

I hope Nvidia fcking brokes and back on his knees begging for his old clients who used to bought their gpus to buy the shitiest new version of the non improved but twice as expensive product.
If your talking about gamers, let's be real here. They'll lap up whatever scraps and bullshit Nvidia will give them and then thank Nvidia for gouging them.
I mean look at the recent stream surveys.
AMD is an option and many are switching. More support for AMD in linux too.
i really wish we had more that two fuckin graphics card options to choose from but that capitalism for ya.
Intel Arc = 3

They would be insane to prop up OpenAI beyond at cost hardware or cuda integration support / tooling.
The steam is running out on funding. It was a one time event, like crypto.
They will regress to what they were before. Pushing horridly overpriced workstation cards and price gouging gamers and pumping out substandard garbage cards for prebuilt “gaming” pcs assembled by others with a shitload of flashy lights and no substance.
You can bet they will continue to develop proprietary standards akin to Sony to try and accomplish another big win that makes them quadrillionaires.
