That AI bubble sure is getting plenty of air pumped in.

[–] ProIsh@lemmy.world 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There's so much money in AI they'll force it to be successful. Even if it's mostly air.

Or subprime loans!

3D TVs sucked because they couldn't make a display economically enough that worked without glasses.

Nobody wants to wear 3D glasses all the time lmao

Can someone explain why to a layman? Don't they make graphics cards? I have one and it's fine, but what else is making it so valuable?

[–] Pantrygheist@programming.dev 30 points 5 months ago (2 children)

We are in an AI business explosion, they make the best hardware for those workloads and can charge whatever they want for them. Also this is not real value but investor value, so as long as the AI hype continues their value will keep increasing.

And that AI boom is following closely on the heels of a crypto boom that already had them pretty inflated.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 13 points 5 months ago

It's not all imaginary, real money is being paid for AI services which in turn is being spent on GPUs.

[–] 0110010001100010@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

AI, graphics cards are very useful for that too. And right now like every company is going all-in on AI.

[–] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

High end graphics cards by themselves are some of the best computers for creating and training AI.

They make chips that do super complex math really really fast. They also make super fast networking gear to allow a crapload of them to do super complex math together

[–] Starkstruck@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Basically their stuff is good for running AI, and investors are frothing at the mouth for anything with the word AI in it rn.

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 9 points 5 months ago (3 children)

I bought 5 shares at $83, god I'm an idiot for stopping there.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

We can always look back on shit like that and say stuff like that but investments are always risky.

Should be close to $83 again soon though! You can stock up

[–] CCMan1701A@startrek.website 2 points 5 months ago

I don't want to talk about my 13 shares

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Better than my 1 at 225$
