"If a company isn't making as much money as quickly as it, and investors, thought it would" that's the sign, saved you the click.

[-] hopfi@lemmy.world 100 points 5 days ago

Exactly what I expected from Business insider..

[-] Danarchy@lemmy.nz 40 points 5 days ago

I’m beginning to think they don’t actually have anyone on the inside at any businesses

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Opposite... The call is coming from INSIDE the business!

[-] inari@piefed.zip 33 points 5 days ago

Incredible insight

[-] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 23 points 5 days ago

But that isn't how greater foolism works. It doesn't matter how stupid one is, as long as there are others more stupid.

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent!

[-] hark@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

The market can remain irrational until the bag can be safely passed onto retail and/or bailouts are secured.

[-] Flower@sh.itjust.works 9 points 5 days ago

And the question is always when the market switches from irrational to rational, and the answer is "nobody knows."

Which is a useless metric in today's market, since none of the AI companies have made a single cent yet, in fact they are bleeding billions, but are still receiving billions in investments, most of it from other AI-involved companies.

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

The companies being talked about are the picks and shovels guys. Sandisk, Crucial, Nvidia, Oracle. The ones that should actually be making money now, and so far have been.

Jesus Christ, it's not even a long article, you can just read it and know this stuff before you comment.

Duh, aren't we passed this situation yet? Millions and even billions of workers should've been replaced by now. Many problems including coding: solved.

Or are investors really this patient and resilient when it comes to hollow hype?

Paul Krugman was predicting the 2008 crash as far back as 2004.

The markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent, as the saying goes.

[-] whereitsat@lemmy.zip 30 points 4 days ago

market research firm lol. get a real job.

[-] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 17 points 4 days ago

To anyone who has imposter syndrome: Imagine being able to say shit like this and call it a career?

You can do it. I have faith in you.

[-] impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago

Imagine being able to say shit like this successfully and earn enough to call it a career.

That skill is not very common.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 29 points 4 days ago

That will result in massive order cancellations at NVDA, MU, AVGO, SNDK, etc., because no one needs the chips, networking, memory, or processor power," he added.

Well that is just false as there is pent up demand in the consumer markets that should be more than enough to make chip makers good money but I guess they don’t consider us regular folks real customers anymore

[-] C4pt41n_Pr0xy@lemmy.world 25 points 4 days ago

But graphics cards, CPUs, RAM, and other components needed in data centers are a far cry from the same components used in home and office desktops and laptops. It’s like trying to sell parts used in F1 race cars on the consumer car market. Technically, there will be buyers, but the vast majority of these parts will remain unsold because demand for such specialized components is negligible in the general consumer market.

I'm not sure if it's fully a bubble, or if the bubble is partly being used as a smoke screen to hide the upfront cost of redesigning computing infrastructure.

A lot of the time, I think AI is just the branding layer. The real goal is top-to-bottom SaaS.

Like, they're letting these AI companies hold the bag for building datacenters which will then get scooped by various companies like microsoft and google to offer virtualized home computing through a client.

[-] fascicle@leminal.space 2 points 3 days ago

its all a guise to build the foundation then pass it on to a surveillance state as SaaS, who benefits a lot of ai pattern recognition to link camera footage, internet usage, and a ton of other data points

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 3 points 4 days ago

Didn't we fight a cold war over this? The Soviets wanted a top down internet and it was more expensive and less capable

The capacity will be freed.
I am sure nvidia can repurpose the dies for consumer focused stuff and call them whatever or put them into business/workstation SKUs instead of enterprise/DC applications.
Same for other products they sell.
They arent as hyper specialized as an F1 (except maybe for those extreme 5U gpu compute nodes. They can hardly repurpose those lol

It's not interchangeable though. I don't need an A100 at home.

this is far worst, and makes '08 look like a flu.

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

Millions die of flu every year.

[-] prole 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Yeah and 08 was pretty bad.

And this will be worse.

If even the goddamn BusinessInsider comes to this conclusion, I wonder why they don’t also realize that all stock market transactions work this way today. None of this has the slightest connection to the real world anymore. Stock prices are determined purely by how many billionaires—or rather, their concentrated capital—are betting on which companies. And here’s the key: They always win, because even with the most absurd business ideas, they can drive up the price, which only crashes after the super-rich have sold their shares.

This makes it very easy to understand why the dumbest people in the world never lose money, as long as they’re rich enough.

Humanity is footing the bill for this, and it’s now becoming very clear just how high that bill is.

Yeah, been hearing this for a year.

Starting to worry it's all... doomerism hype?

Nah.

[-] anon_8675309@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago

When there’s a bubble, at first you hear “hmm this is weird maybe it’s a bubble”. Then more people start saying ,”yeah it looks like a bubble”. Then more people start analyzing how it IS a bubble. All the while big investors are like, “ I know it’s a bubble but right now I’m making bank, so…”. Finally, after those investors decide it’s been a good run, they cash out and the bubble truly starts bursting.

So right now everyone knows it’s a bubble. What we’re seeing is the big investors trying to squeeze every last billion out of it.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Finally, after those investors decide it’s been a good run, they cash out and the bubble truly starts bursting.

This time they wasted so much money that they're trying to foist the bad investments on retail investors with overblown valuations and IPOs before cashing out.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 7 points 4 days ago

Yeah, heard it all before, and I'm very familiar with the structural "curiosities" of the existing investment landscape.

Very few people correctly called the problems with 2007-2008. Not none, but few. And with soooooo many people mindlessly on the "it's a bubble!" bandwagon so early, a lot of accuracy and legitimacy is lost months or years beforehand for no other reason than why conspiracy theory people say "we'll get UFO disclosure this year!" Or "This year the Cubs/Arsenal/Red Sox will do it!" It's just the thing they say until one time they're right.

I'm not telling you it won't happen in a sense... But it's not going to happen how or when you think. IMO, you're looking at a partial stuttering effect maaaaaybe late winter like Q1 2027, and that's about it. There's to much alternate demand for everything LLM companies are already buying up to create a full and similar bubble like the Dot Com bubble.

[-] Jiral@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I don't claim I know when the correction will happen but I wonder what massive alternative demand you see for the mountains of highly specialised server gpus in storage that will be obsolete in maybe 3 years time? For many of them that means likely before they will ever be turned on. The dotcom bubble created infrastructure that was, largely, not obsolete when the bubble bursted and made a lot of sense to salvage. That is a fundamental difference to inference infrastructure.

We heard about the debt derivative crash coming from 2006. If you said it was coming people laughed at you and called you stupid, mostly Harvard grads.

Dot-com bubble took about 5 years before it burst, and that was crazier. Why would you think this one would pop quicker?

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 8 points 4 days ago

You're talking about from buildup to crash, though. As if everyone just looking at literally any large investment and saying "it's a bubble!" is dong anything other than being a broken clock right twice a day.

I follow conspiracy theories extensively, and people have always predicted a huge, massive economic collapse next year - every year. On Art Bell, it was a constant, reiterated prediction every year from 1994 until 2013. It's only the ones that happened to say it in 2006 or 2007 that rode the credit of "actually predicting the 2008 crisis!" Even the ones saying it before the Dot Com bubble didn't get it right because their doomerism made all predictions "end of the world" level.

I find it problematic that they are using forward PE as a comparison, because forward PE in and of itself is a guesstimate based on numbers a company puts out to attract investors. Sure, they can be audited, but there is plenty of creative accounting done to improve optics

[-] yesman@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

When financial publications are giving advice on how to trade inside a bubble, that's a leading indicator that the bubble is about to pop.
