  • Well nVidia just sells the hardware to the AI companies, so even if the bubble pops, they won’t go bankrupt.

    Except all those companies are in an investor circle jerk with each other…

    If AI bursts it doesn’t just hurt nvidia’s sales of products used by AI.

    Nvidia has over $100 billion invested in OpenAI:

    And even more billions invested in other AI companies. Because the AI companies can’t afford to buy what Nvidia is selling at the price.

    This means Nvidia “owns” a bunch of those AI companies, and can take loans out on the valuation…

    If AI goes bankrupt, all those investments are worthless, which means banks call in the loans that used it as collateral. It could easily wipe out Nvidia.

    It’s not just one surface level thing, even tho that’s all you seem to have thought of. You’re worried about a couple hundred million in sales like it’s not sitting next to 100 billion dollar loan.

    Like bro, come on man…



  • So…

    It’s not a bubble because…

    “This is the largest infrastructure build-out in human history,” Huang said of active and promised data center projects. "And so the AI bubble is, comes about because the investments are large. And the investments are large, because we have to build the infrastructure necessary for all of the layers of AI above it."

    It’s something we’re sinking money into soley because we’ve already been sinking money into it, and we don’t want anyone else to get ahead of us even though literally no one has found a way to monetize it enough to make back prior investments let alone new investments…

    Like, he knows that’s literally the definition of an economic bubble, right?

    Is he just trying to grift dumb rich investors, or does he legitimately not understand his company could go bankrupt literally at any moment if the investor class ever comes back to reality?


  • I was expecting “frameless” design but it got a chin and 1 cm bezel on 3 sides

    Not sure what you mean, but look at what you have, and look at pictures of what it should look like from places that aren’t selling it

    If it is the same, then it sounds like the issue is you need to adjust settings on your computer, make sure all the settings are right in windows and any software for your gpu. You may also need to download some drivers from Acer.

    But you can’t just plug the monitor in and everything maxes out, make sure you’ve enabled everything, then circle back and test and see what’s still working.

    Framerate is a common thing that needs enabled too. Lots of people get it flipped for various reasons and just don’t notice the only thing limiting them is a setting.





  • Can’t believe it took so long for the obvious reason:

    “The survival and growth of the bunker ‘colony’ through the years, without producing own offspring, was possible owing to continuous supply of new workers from the upper nest and accumulation of nestmate corpses,” the team concluded. “The corpses served as an inexhaustible source of food which substantially allowed survival of the ants trapped down in otherwise extremely unfavourable conditions.”

    They kept falling in, and the ones that died got eaten by the ones who didn’t.

    Once they could climb out, they all just climbed out as soon as they fell in.






  • You just repeated what I said, except you misunderstood it and said things that are false like:

    I guess the difference is that the US has started killing white protestors now?

    That’s not new at all.

    From the mid-1870s onward, violence rose as insurgent paramilitary groups in the Deep South worked to suppress Black voting and turn Republicans out of office. In Louisiana, the Carolinas, and Florida especially, the Democratic Party relied on paramilitary “White Line” groups, such as the White Camelia, White League and Red Shirts to terrorize, intimidate and assassinate African-American and white Republicans in an organized drive to regain power.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_in_the_United_States

    But the most important part of the lesson, is what happens when people put their personal safety over societies well-being:

    In Yazoo County, Mississippi, for instance, with an African-American population of 12,000, only seven votes were cast for Republicans in 1874. In 1875, Democrats swept into power in the Mississippi state legislature.[46]

    They used violence against anyone who didn’t agree with them, so people who didn’t agree with them stopped voting.

    And the racists still have the political power in the South.



  • “It used to be that … you might go to jail, and now you might get shot! So it makes us need to be a lot more brave,” she said. “I hope I would be brave, but I can’t promise that I would be able to. But definitely, it’s time to move beyond ‘I won’t do anything that has any risk whatsoever.’”

    There’s a very narrow window in America where the worst you had to worry about was being sent to jail for protesting for equal rights…

    It’s the abnormality, not the norm that it’s “safe”. And that’s over now.

    Like, when the current president was in college, they were killing people for it

    And he has dementia, so as far as he’s concerned the world is exactly the same as when he was in his 20s, so that’s how he’s acting.
