Crypto is still incredibly healthy. Bitcoin has been stable at $30k.

Is it still a big scam? Maybe. But what happened with FTX was just good ol corruption.

Anyone with exposure to Crypto either already collapsed, or wound down their position, so there wasn't a huge effect on markets. AI will be similar. Some VC will fail, but it's not the same as the dotcom bubble. It won't cause a recession

OpenAI may fail if Microsoft doesn't keep throwing money at it, but they already got what they want out of it. They'll probably just end up acquiring the foundation and make money from the ways they're implementing it in their products.

There isn't an easy statement that explains why things are getting worse.

The housing market, for instance, was being affected by low interest rates. Low rates make being a slum lord more profitable than other forms of investment. This caused a massive amount of investment in the housing market by rich people and corporations, and normal people were priced out.

The banks that failed did so because they either invested in dumb things (crypto) or in long-term bonds. Those bonds lose value as interest rates rise, and SVB invested far too much into them.

There's all kinds of reasons

This seems like an "if you build it, they will come" situation. We clearly don't have a thriving chip maker industry in this country, so it's going to take a while to build that job market.

I thought the US gov was dedicated to making this happen no matter the cost?

Yeah man this is one I can admit.

The food is not even that good, but my body craves it. That's classic addiction right there.

I like to make my microplastics maybe the 3rd or 4th tier, not the base.

Microsoft reported profitability in their AI products last quarter, with a substantial gain in revenue from it.

It won't take long for them to recoup their investment in OpenAI.

If OpenAI has been more responsible in how they released ChatGPT, they wouldn't be facing this problem. Just completely opening Pandora's box because they were racing to beat everyone else out was extremely irresponsible and if they go bankrupt because of it then whatever.

There's plenty of money to be made in AI without everyone just fighting over how to do it in the most dangerous way possible.

I'm also not sure nVidia is making the right decision trying their company to AI hardware. Sure, they're making mad money right now, but just like the crypto space that can dry up instantly.

Yes. An admission that Cheeto boy needs to go to jail.

This does sound like planned obsolescence to me...

Oop CPU sales are down! Leak one of our critical flaws to force people to upgrade!

I don't mind memes but holy shit most of them are so bad and the volume is just too much.

This makes me sad because politics are very important, but the media has turned it into such garbage that people have become indifferent.

I was half expecting it to use the same graphics as the latest quake. Pretty pleased that they went this direction.
