It is impossible to justify the absurd private valuations they have given themselves in collusion with investors.
I wish they had tried to IPO because then we’d see the judgement of the market on this. But that’s why they didn’t this year. How long can they keep up the charade that their models are uniquely valuable and on the path to AGI?
- andsoitis 2mo ago> private valuations they have given themselves in collusion with investors. What's the collusion?
- grey-area 2mo agoCircular investment deals and investment deals at valuations which have no possible justification.
- andsoitis 2mo agoLet me ask it differently. You state the companies and their investors are colluding. Who are they colluding against?

- cyanydeez 2mo agoits interesting, as it's typically the banks and against the public at large because the goal is to jimmy up valuations to justify IPOs then sell on opening; just like spacex. It's what enron was doing; it's what most of crypto's offshoots were doing. Sure you can blame the marks of the grift and say "well the public should know they're faking all this cash flow expectation". It seems like you're either driving the grift economy or part of the collusion. It's similar to how a cult operates, so I'll be frank: your skepticism seems biased.
- andsoitis 2mo ago> It's what enron was doing; Enron hid billions of dollars in debt and fake profits. Is this what you think is happening here?
- grey-area 2mo agoNvidia has made a lot of very suspicious circular funding deals. I suspect we’ll find fraud when the bubble bursts yes.
- andsoitis 2mo agoYou're the first person I hear claiming NVIDIA is hiding billions of dollars in debt and fake profits, never mind at the scale of Enron. Bold claim!
- sampullman 2mo agoI see the claim made somewhat commonly here.
- grey-area 2mo agoThat’s not the claim I made.
- grey-area 2mo agoThe public that buys the stock at ipo at this inflated valuation and unwittingly buys indexes which include it (as with spacex).
- WarmWash 2mo agoAll of this is public info though, and pretty well publicized at that.
- danny_codes 2mo agoDoes collusion require privacy? You can collude in public if you want.
