    Crazy final paragraph. The whole article is about Nvidia has artificially created scarcity for its products by funding AI start ups to buy it’s products.

    It is effectively buying back its own products. This alongside the circular payment systems between AI companies and Nvidia is destined to end very very badly. It can only work while the market grows and share prices go up. It is destined to be one catastrophic collapse when things go the other way.

      This is only possible because the stock market is a fucking Ponzi scheme

      Interesting best interests. I guess Nvidia investors could all have a deep seeded masochistic and self-destruction fetish, but it sounds unlikely.

        I have a deep seeded desire to have a 401k but little direct control over how much Nvidia they bought for me. Many 401k packages do not allow particularly granular investments even if I would prefer to shield myself from this obvious financial ant mill.
