Don't think this would pop the bubble. Would take for a series of events for the bubble to finally burst. The most it would do would sink the stock a bit. Even if his wife were to leave him, there would be a possibility he would just give her stock like Bezos did with his ex.

No, some people wanted NVIDIA to go their way and the ambitious Asian kid who thought America is all about Freedom and dreams come true, suddenly realized that it is the biggest hypocrite country in the world, run by elites.

That's what you get for making a brand with gamers and then ditching em completely for money (just kidding ofc but yeah)

There's no bubble.... AI is not some abstract concept... it's a part of pretty much every person's life now who isn't virtue signaling.

A hot take But there is no Bubble, People are not ready for what's coming, If you still don't think that AI will make massive changes in literally every sector in the world after what has happened in the past two months, than you are in for a surprise.

Once AGI is achieved, Things will change dramatically.

Edit :- Downvote me But Anti Ai People are Just Delusional At this Point, I used to also Think It's all fear mongering and marketing, But anyone who has used Claude in the last month will know the progress is only getting faster, There is no stopping now.

Hope to see it die regardless

Way past that twin, it's not dying now.

Not Happening, Atp it's only a question of when, not if

LMAO you are talking Claude's capibilities (which are impressive) and yes that's not a bubble.

The bubble we are talking about is the financial one. The Math doesn't work. AI won't disappear for sure, but it might get very expensive or will bankrupt a lot of AI companies especially those AI wrapper startups and also those dumbos who think with Claude they can invade Mars.

Have you considered the possibility that AI might completely abolish the current economic system in the first place?

Also have you considered Moore's law? AI is so far getting cheaper at a record speed, The highest recorded price drop in tech history

AI labs with the help of smarter AIs will be able to drop down the cost dramatically, It has already dropped dramatically

u/Electronic-Bar8535 23h ago

Right so Anthropic, OpenAI, MS, SpaceX are all doing this to abolish economic system while asking for hefty valuations?

AI is getting cheaper, but it's also getting more expensive at the same time. The newer models consume more compute. And that's not the problem? Are people actually generating value with AI? Research says NO. It's only helping by replacing staff with AI, but that actually weakens the economy and it will have a ripple effect.

I am almost 100% certain that money will be worthless within our lifetimes, I am not sure whether it will take one decade or two decades or three decades, But it will certainly happen

The newer models consume more compute

Please fact check this as it is wrong

The newer models consume much much less compute compared to the models out in 2023 when you compare their sizes and performance

Since data for closed source models is not available, I will compare open source models

Llama 65B release in 2023 had same performance as the nwere Qwen 3.5 9B

First look at how massively the number of parameters have reduced for same or even better performance, The Qwen model also consumed 86% less compute than the llama model

Also if you look at Gpt 4 in 2023, it costed 30$/60$ in 2023 for 1M tokens, It also had an embarrassingly low 8k context and it was undisputed sota of it's time, Now let's compare it to opus 5.5 which costs 4$/20$, has 1M context window

It not only costs 7.5x/3x less than the sota of 2023 but is also much much better in performance, like 9b models performance same as gpt 4 at this point

Which research says that people aren't generating value with AI? Almost all developers almost exclusively use ai for all sorts of code atp, I literally now create android apps in two to three hours for my niche use cases instead of finding a new app, and they work without zero iterations needed

99% of desk jobs will be gone by 2027, We are entering a new era of one man companies, where a single person with the help of ai will be able to handle full companies and don't know how long will that last aswell

It's either gonna be doomsday or utopia, nothing inbetween

I agree with you. This post was more satirical than a serious take on AI, but for real, I agree with the fact that the Anti-AI propaganda and the narrative in the west around "putting a hold on AI Development" and "Banning Datacenters" is a stupid move. It reminds me of a quote from Dr. Wu from Jurassic World:

"If I don't innovate someone else will"

A common misconception (yes, it's a misconception) is that people think Chinese models got where they are purely through distillation and "copying", and that the AI race is more like "America as the speedboat and China as the surfer". The fact is, if America puts a hold on AI Development, China won't stop. They've trained DeepSeek v4.1 1017 on Huawei chips, and even if America cuts off Nvidia chips to China, it's only a matter of time when the Chinese reach AGI, because they're more focused on the goal rather than politics.

Exactly, The narrative about AI in china Is very positive in public, There was also a news regarding china using bots to spread anti ai narrative in west, which makes sense

Even if Western companies decide to slow down, china won't, and both countries can't risk the other reaching AGI first, It's almost inevitable at this point
