The private equity debt time bomb is here. Then there is the bond market.

And then guaranteed bust of AI bubble. 2000 billion dollars for a single company? That too when bottom of the boat has been drilled by open weight Chinese models that are cheaper and good enough but can even be deployed locally?

In face of all that - that kind of return is not realistic.

However - good gimmick scaring UN asking for a ban on Chinese models perhaps.

tracerbulletx•32m ago
The UN is not a body that would be involved in banning models from a specific country, and even if they were China is one of 5 members with permanent veto power.
api•8m ago
Only way to justify those valuation is if they can achieve regulatory capture and outlaw competitors and open models.

Expect the fear mongering to escalate to a fever pitch.

The UN has no authority to ban anything but it's a good platform.

He will probably tell them exactly what they want him to say. If he means it or not. That is hard to say.
edoceo•31m ago
If governments regulate AI and make it slow down, does that let one get out of data center contracts?
dgellow•9m ago
If OpenAI voids its spending commitment, the bubble has to pop. I know the market is irrational, but that would be the clearest top signal ever

How's AI doing in Russia with all the sanctions and whatnot?
free_bip•18m ago
They have access to all the same open models that the rest of the world does, so just fine I would think.

They also access American models via proxies. Same as China

I find it very hard to understand the things these AI CEO's say.

He will probably get up there and say his companies products will destroy every citizen of their countries.

laxd•14m ago
Shocking publicity is good publicity. And "my product is so potent it will probably destroy you." I think I´ve heard it from drug dealers as well.
