Rules

Follow the aussie.zone rules
We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
News posts must include some body text explaining how the article is particularly relevant to the Australian perspective, rather than mere global news.
Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Huang said expectations around Nvidia have become so extreme that Wall Street now sees danger in both directions.

“If we delivered a bad quarter, it is evidence there’s an AI bubble. If we delivered a great quarter, we are fueling the AI bubble,” he told employees. “If we were off by just a hair, if it looked even a little bit creaky, the whole world would’ve fallen apart.”

He referenced online memes that jokingly describe Nvidia as the linchpin of the global economy and the only thing standing between the U.S. and recession.

“Have you guys seen some of them?” he asked employees. “We’re basically holding the planet together—and it’s not untrue.”

Recession coming because the AI bubble is about to pop.

Nvidia: it's crazy, what ever we do, they think the AI bubble is going to bust. It's thus probable that we are actually the most important company in the world.

I wouldn't say they are the most important company in the world but they are the most important canary for an AI bubble that is a huge share of USA GDP.

The question is: how far off in the future should we short? 8 months? 12?

I'm stupid, for sure, and don't understand how the economy works.

It just seems very unfair to me that because a bunch of other people reckoned that AI was going to make them very rich, the next five to ten years will be a deep deep recession and my life will become much harder.

I never bought into the chatbot hype. Why should I suffer?

I feel the same way. Even if it pops a massive wealth transfer will have occurred, and despite seeing none of that money the rest of us will get screwed over.
