  • NVIDIA sells GPUs to Oracle. Oracle sells GPU time to openai.

    When time comes to pay the bills, openai doesn’t have the money to pay Oracle who then doesn’t have money to pay NVIDIA. So, Oracle gives stock to NVIDIA, and openai also gives stock to NVIDIA.

    NVIDIA doesn’t care if both go broke because now a gpu is worth a lot more, and in the books they’re selling a lot more GPUs each for a lot more money. So NVIDIA stock goes through the roof even if they ran out of cash and got into ridiculous debt.

    Shareholders have a ridiculous profit, NVIDIA directors get a massive bonus and NVIDIA CEO gets famous.

    Why is it a problem? Because nobody has cash and this can’t go on forever without some massive bankruptcies. I’m sceptical anyone is paying their power bills or servicing bank loans, so these may get dragged into the mud too.





  • Although I can imagine what hell would look like: commuting for 1h to sit in an office that has more people than desks to have a zoom meeting over VPN with flaky wifi and AC that is set to overheat whoever sits under the vent and under heat everyone further.

    Oh did I tell you that meeting could have been an email? And the coffee machine broke yesterday. And there’s a bathroom queue.










  • This, but I’d use separate browsers to keep seperate digital fingerprints. Otherwise your ad trackers would know it’s the exact same person going to site a directly and site b indirectly.

    Also worth noting that Facebook has a back door on its mobile app, that keep listening on some port. When you use certain apps with meta code ( could be a newspaper that monetizes with Facebook ads ) or websites with meta code ( same “newspaper”), those apps/websites send your ad tracker id directly to Facebook app through that port. This de-anonimizes the shit out of your “anonymous” ad IDs. Other techniques rely on lots of data points and some degree of guessing, but this ways it’s mercilessly effective and accurate.

    Not a chance they can make a restaurant like this in Argentina. They are one of the most reluctant people to try different foods.

    Also I’m double sceptical since the same article says it grows in tropical forests in Nicaragua etc, and Argentina has a single smallish area that could be called tropical forest, and that would be a stretch.
