The person who correctly guesses when the AI bubble is gonna pop and shorts Nvidia stock is gonna make a lot of money. Call it The Big Short 2: Electric Boogaloo.

I look forward to nvidia being knocked down a peg or two(hundred) and maybe making graphics card prices reasonable again.

Yeah I bought a bunch of shares 3 years ago, cashing a big chunk out soon for a decent profit

Nvidia makes a real product. An AI bubble might hurt them but probably not the same as the companies who have been buying their product.

You never know what the market is going to do, but all the math their cards can do has plenty of real world value with or without LLMs. If they do dip heavily when people recognize how limited LLMs are, you'd probably make more money more reliably by buying their stock at a discount.

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

I don't know about that... AI is a real bubble, but Nvidia is still doing what they always do: matrix and vectorial operations. That's needed with or without AI

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Three engineers — Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem — gathered at the diner in what is now the heart of Silicon Valley to discuss building a computer chip that would make graphics for video games faster and more realistic.

Huang added that training AI models is becoming a faster process as they learn to become “multimodal” — able to understand text, speech, images, video and 3-D data — and also “to reason and plan.”

Now Nvidia’s specialized chips are key components that help power different forms of artificial intelligence, including the latest generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.

Tech giants are snapping up Nvidia chips as they wade deeper into AI — a movement that’s enabling cars to drive by themselves, and generating stories, art and music.

They have a deep innovation engine that goes all the way back to the early 2000s,” said Chirag Dekate, a VP analyst at Gartner, a tech research and consulting firm.

“What Nvidia did two decades ago is they both identified and they nurtured an adjacent market where they discovered that the same processors, same GPUs that they were using for graphics could be shaped to solve highly parallel tasks.”
