It's sad because at least with public companies they must disclose important information to investors. With private capital, this is really only feasible for investors with large capital and leverage. Smaller investors may as well buy lottery tickets than invest into any private capital.

There's already talk about opening up private AI companies to retail investors (aka regular people). Once that happens and people get fleeced one last time, then it's going to end.

We are close to the final stage but not yet. Currently we're at the peak NFT stage when everyone was generating their own slightly different monkey.

Apparently because they think AI is still a good bet?

[–] Dogiedog64@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

From a purely short-term economic standpoint, it is VIOLENTLY more profitable to go whole-hog with AI right now. Once the bubble pops though, they will regret it.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 10 points 3 days ago

Who is the they in this scenario?

Because it isn't the people making the decisions. They will be long gone.

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

How quickly can they pivot though? Doesn't this indicate that they think there's a long term profit?

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 9 points 3 days ago

There is no such thing as long term profit in the year of our lord.

They will have all that inflated ram money and if they don't spend it like morons they can return to selling ram at normal prices as oem rather than 'burned up leftovers from some AI farm.' The consumer market will still be starved by the AI buyout for some time even after the burst.

As long as the big boys make more infinite money, all is right

[–] rook@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

infinite loop, paying with the other's money

This is basically how stock market work. All those billion dollar companies are ballooned assets in reality.

"AI companies," i think you mean your retirement savings managers

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I wonder how better off society would be without Zucc, Lone Skum, Peter 'Anti-Christ' Thiel, and Scam Altman.

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Not much better at all, tbh. The problems are systemic, not individual. Another Zucc or Thiel would step up.

Sure but one has to admit lashing these profligates to a cross or sacrificing them in a Blòt would be rather satisfying.

A broken system will eventually work when the broken pieces have been replaced.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Not when the system selects and creates broken pieces.
