One day we will westerners will learn why the Chinese are releasing models that are optimized for cost of training n yet good enough to run locally or cheaply.

when the music stops, suddenly a lot of people won't just sit on the ground but plunge into the depths of hell.

i'm starting a new trend: ask every person that is so certain about the negative outlook how big their short position is. so how big is your short position? please let us know.

here's another trend: every time a person is on this hype bandwagon ask them how much are they invested in nvidia/ms/openai/etc

I am not invested in anything except popcorn to watch it burst;)

But see that's exactly my point - I am invested so actually I don't go around "talking my book" but you have zero skin in the game so your opinion matters about as much as Bob down at the bar watching the game on TV.

If you're invested you have interest to say it's good regardless of reality. because if it's bad first you need to sell off to avoid being the bagholder

Yes you can say you're honest and stuff but does it mean anything if you can go broke from honesty.

I have no idea what you're saying - I said I don't talk my book - that means I'm not out here pontificating like Jim Cramer and half of hn.

you are taking your book by implying all the naysayers are secretly shorting the stock instead of having reasons to think it's empty hype. let's see how long copium lasts.

Interesting

To me people with short positions likely be bending the truth. To you they are honest. Funny

There's a reason why investing must be declared in many situations. and it is because they are a conflict of interest not proof of honesty

Do people have literally any idea what they're saying when they write these quippy responses?

> conflict of interest not proof of honesty

What exactly do you think disclosing a conflict of interest is if not honesty...............
