Softbank pulls money from NVidia to invest in AI.

"Softbank does feel like the guy taking all his money out of the pick and shovel shop because he needs to buy into the dead cert bonanza find that someone in the saloon has told him about."

They're all rushing around to find "the one weird trick" to rescue their massively overextended and overexposed positions that they've begun to realise are rapidly falling part, even Nvidia. That's why you've got such genius positions as Nvidia lending to companies losing money hand over fist on the proviso they'll buy moreNvidia GPUs with it.

Getting too big to fail has been a successful business strategy for nearly two decades now.

When Grokipedia is good enough (long way to go), we will change the name to Encyclopedia Galactica.

It will be an open source distillation of all knowledge, including audio, images and video.

He knows what the 'fi' part of 'sci-fi' is short for, right?* Why would he want to associate this...thing with that?


*It is possible that Elon is not as bright as even dimmer than I thought he was.

 

[Trebuchet]

His Republican buddies aren't so fond of the "sci' part, either.

He was muttering about having it all lader etched in to crystals or something

 

[junkshop]

Everyone knows he's a twat, he really doesn't need to try convince anyone anymore.
There must be something more fun he could do with his unfathomable wealth.

Wouldn't universal high income for all just lead to crippling infl--

Nevermind, sorry, I'm using facts again. I'll be in the corner with the 'WOKE' dunce hat.

If robots are doing all the work and making everything, won't everything be free?

If robots are doing all the work and making everything, won't everything be free?

AI and sufficient delegation to robots offers the possibility of making actual Communism possible. Maybe even reasonably feasible. It doesn't solve everything by a long shot, though, of course.

Elon's claimed universal high income would mean that the system isn't Communism, of course, but the difference would likely be more technicality than substantive on that particular front.

Much worse than it being free:
