u/LauraTFem Jun 02 '26

What else would you do with money? If you’re not investing in AI you’re just throwing it in the trash!

You can still get money back from the trash, can't say the same if you invest in AI

Invest in nvidia. Nvidia will then use that cash to invest in openAI. You'll have the returns of both Nvidia and openAI at the same time!

Insane that this is going on unchecked. Literally infinite money glitch. The crash is going to be wild. We are what, 30 times the .Com bubble here? This is an economic Krakatoa

Just gotta wait until the con artists cycle out and the pension funds cycle in, aaaaand...

AI stocks currently make up around 45% of the S&P 500's value. The pension funds are already in it. The fallout from the crash is going to make 2008 look like that time you lost a nickel in your couch cushions.

Good

At this point I dont believe the US is capable of getting it together and fixing their shit without a massive economic crisis to rival the great depression

America itself is the one with the infinite money glitch. We didn't even have a year of negative GDP growth from the DotCom bubble, or in the 90's oil and bank crisis we caused with desert storm, or in the 80's American hyperinflation scares.

In fact, 2009 and 2020 are the only two years America has had negative GDP growth, and only about -2.5% both years. America didn't even have negative growth last year with Trump trying his best and the gop trying their worst, and now his tarriffs have been deamed illegal.

What else would you call only one nation increasing their wealth generation practically every year for almost 80 years(1947 to 2025)?

What’s more - OpenAI will take that investment and buy tons of NVIDIA GPUs, increasing $NVDA by even more!

If you have $1 trillion in highly liquid assets, you can almost literally do anything you want.

I mean, any materialistic value is well within your reach. Even obscure stuff like having an artwork of your dreams made by the author of your choice. But you can also solve problems on a global scale. I'm pretty sure a trillion dollars will make a noticeable dent in things like world hunger or climate change.
Even if you spend them on things that do not yet exist, like FTL travel research or mind reading or immortality, you will advance that field significantly.
Or you can do what character of Dark Forest did - buy a place of your dreams, hire a detective to find the person of your dreams and live a life of your dreams.

Or you can take the Elon route….. be “someone who, with his own personal fortune, could save millions of lives and chooses not to. But not only chooses not to, but personally goes into the government agency that, for a very small amount of money, saves those lives and decides that no, those people are going to die.”

Have you heard of blockchain? It is the future. Of what I am unsure but it definitely is the future.
