@statsguy@mas.to In a way, it's not even (entirely) Nvidia's fault - it's their enablers in the institutional investment community and their rapacious greed; the corporate banks who continue to lend to them; and governments who refuse to legislate. I'm not saying they're innocent - far from it - but the entire support network that allows these bubbles (and the monsters who profit from them) to be created in the first place needs taxing into oblivion.

@statsguy@mas.to so investors thinks that having generated linkedin posts is about 6 times more important than ending human hunger.

@statsguy@mas.to From pictures of crap stage mentalists ("Oracle" guy... what is he, the 39 steps?) to bad puppeteer (Nvdia guy) and all the other tropes in between. When is the Sorcerer's Apprentice going to get his comeuppance?

@statsguy@mas.to Nope, we are all out and about "enjoying" evacuating from the wildfires caused by fossil fuel climate change.

@statsguy@mas.to Just yesterday I found by some napkin math that $500B is about 20% of the total cost of solving climate change through building passive radiative cooling panels. We could do it. Nvidia alone could do it twice over. The top 10 companies could completely make this problem disappear in a couple of years by paying something close to their fair tax rate. But they aren't doing any of it.

@statsguy@mas.to total (current) protected cost from all this bullshit stands at $8 trillion (attached image, lower right). seems like we're trying to push the entire global economy through an "ai" woodchipper. Honestly it reeks of desperation

@statsguy@mas.to Starting to think the only thing that can save humanity is someone sufficiently skilled at bullshitting to convince the billionaires that solving world hunger has a good ROI.
