infinite loop, paying with the other's money

[–] BurnedDonutHole@ani.social 4 points 11 hours ago

This is basically how stock market work. All those billion dollar companies are ballooned assets in reality.

Apparently because they think AI is still a good bet?

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

From a purely short-term economic standpoint, it is VIOLENTLY more profitable to go whole-hog with AI right now. Once the bubble pops though, they will regret it.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 9 points 13 hours ago

Who is the they in this scenario?

Because it isn't the people making the decisions. They will be long gone.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

How quickly can they pivot though? Doesn't this indicate that they think there's a long term profit?

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 8 points 13 hours ago

There is no such thing as long term profit in the year of our lord.

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

They will have all that inflated ram money and if they don't spend it like morons they can return to selling ram at normal prices as oem rather than 'burned up leftovers from some AI farm.' The consumer market will still be starved by the AI buyout for some time even after the burst.

There's already talk about opening up private AI companies to retail investors (aka regular people). Once that happens and people get fleeced one last time, then it's going to end.

We are close to the final stage but not yet. Currently we're at the peak NFT stage when everyone was generating their own slightly different monkey.

As long as the big boys make more infinite money, all is right

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago

"AI companies," i think you mean your retirement savings managers

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I wonder how better off society would be without Zucc, Lone Skum, Peter 'Anti-Christ' Thiel, and Scam Altman.

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 17 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Not much better at all, tbh. The problems are systemic, not individual. Another Zucc or Thiel would step up.

[–] hark@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

A broken system will eventually work when the broken pieces have been replaced.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Not when the system selects and creates broken pieces.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 3 points 20 hours ago

Sure but one has to admit lashing these profligates to a cross or sacrificing them in a Blòt would be rather satisfying.
