Affinity make a pretty decent clone of the main Adobe apps. Although they just got bought by Canva so may be at the shark-jumping point.

If they genuinely solve self-driving, then it seems like it. Tesla three years ago didn't have any competition and now they do, so big differentiation is needed, and FSD would be it.

He couldn't handle the challenge of jazz though.

And this man claims to speak for the proletariat...

It's strange alongside, that he's doing it as part of a new company. I realise it's due to his ongoing squabble with Tesla over this $50billion payout he still hasn't had... but can you even imagine the CEO of any other

Ultimately my thesis was “problems for AGI” not “why AGI is impossible” and for good reason.

I know what you’re saying but I thought it worthwhile restating the question now that Nvidia is at $3trillion, because I really do care about the answers. I am tech heavy and have been for the past 25 years, and consider myself reasonably w

Nietzsche thought that it was so obvious that he was going round corrupting the youth by showing people not to have a clue what they were talking about via using dialectics, that he knew what he was getting himself into long long before the

Yeah but which direction is the Tesla price heading at the moment now the hype has died off?
940.
by gizajob 2y ago
Sure is. Nvidia buyers right now couldn’t be buying any higher though, and they’re still buying. I get a feeling like the shorting opportunities will be apparent when they present themselves. I’m not looking to put my house on shorting it d

I really dig Socrates, and his arguments. I also dig Nietzsche for pointing out “he was a buffoon who got himself killed”. Dialectics is useful up to the point you start going round in circles and that is as far as most ever get with it.

If LLMs are beating humans in theory of mind tasks, your theory of mind is incorrect. I’d not heard of Jo Cameron but one outlier, for me, wouldn’t hyper-negate the whole idea out of existence. A huge amount of what I suffer with is not phy

Google Translate has been around for years, and runs on regular CPUs fine, so I personally wouldn’t classify it as current generation AI or predicated on Nvidia chips. Definitely a killer app though. Same as Google maps is a non-AI killer a

Yeah but the growth happens over months - the shorting will be done in a couple of intense days.

Yeah but it’s a useful metric - if everyone in France dedicated all their productive output for this entire year, they could swap that output for a company of a few thousand people that makes microchips.

Funny that isn’t it. I wonder if Tesla throwing $4billion of Nvidia GPUs into a data centre will be enough to solve it “this time”. Self-driving could easily become one of the pins that bursts Nvidias bubble if we don’t see spectacular impr

Thanks for your answer. It’s useful to think about for sure. I’m just trying to ponder where we are at with it, and whether Nvidia is becoming overblown or whether we’ll need another quantum leap on the software side to get better AI or whe

Yeah but Socrates mostly just spent all day convincing people they were stupid.

There’s a few different ways one can look at it if trying to take lessons and ideas from Wittgenstein. I didn’t do a brilliant job of the thesis to be honest… but I got a few things on an intuitive level from trying to grok a bunch of Wittg

By crush do you mean it will become sentient and sequester the carbon in the bodies of their meaty workers by killing them all?
951.
by gizajob 2y ago
Yeah good thinking. Does seem like it’s turning into an analogous situation to Cisco, and I feel like we will actually need a quantum leap on the software side of AI (again) for the hardware sales to sustain the revenue growth.

by gizajob 2y ago
Yep, ripe for a bonanza day of shorting in the not-too-distant future, it would seem.
953.
by gizajob 2y ago
Yeah a decent summary of my thoughts too. The bulls running away with things online are starting not to listen to the point that it’s concerning me that Nvidia is turning into a free money machine, and no good ever comes of that kind of thi

Funnily enough my bachelors thesis was “Wittgensteinian problems for Artificial General Intelligence” so I also have grounds for being bearish, even though I respect what is happening at the moment and have hope for the future.

That’s kind of my point in framing the question like that - we know WalMart and how ubiquitous it is (in America) and how it makes money, and it’s “moat” so it’s not a sexy business, but a totally solid one. So is what the market is pricing

Question for HNers: Do you think that AI is having a big enough impact already to generate this valuation? Is it changing your life? And do you think all of Nvidia’s customers throwing money at data centres full of GPUs will cause the curre

Whatever happened to the Vision Pro? It seems quite strange for Apple to have flubbed its release so hard and to have also gotten away with it.

You mean British journalism talking about Toronto, written by a Canadian, in Canada, for Canadian media?

I had this brainwave and basically duped your comment before I’d scrolled down to read it…
