Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders. AI is booming (if you're a pleb) but if you have money - Goldman Sachs will be honest with you instead web.archive.org/web/20240629...

So the chips make sense in making money. As do the energy companies. I also understand cybersecurity making money as AI progresses. In addition, I foresee companies like IBM making some profit in consulting on how to use AI. AI is at the very beginning. It’s all going to take a while to sort out.

But they are not making money from the AI itself...it's like selling shovels for the promised gold rush

Right. Like investing in a future that may not happen.

Yeah like, Nvidia are making the money now cause they're selling the chips everyone needs. Those behind AI and the companies going in either aren't making money or aren't seeing the returns they were promised which is a no brainer given what AI is vs what it's marketed as

Nvidia is also investing in manufacturing capacity that was scaled for crypto bubble levels of demand for GPUs, and has now pivoted to a new bubble. As soon as they can't find a bubble to fit the demand to...oops.
