This reminds of that time during the crypto bubble when the Fashion Channel put out its own crypto currency.

I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that I am pivoting my home lab to be an AI datacenter. You can DM me for investor details regarding where to send the check.

Ah, the Allbirds play.

Let’s see how this works out.

I'm still waiting for them to announce the upgrade path. My remaining pair of Allbirds shoes still doesn't have any AI functionality. No care for old cusomers.

Ah, the Allbirds play.

This shit is wild.

Allbirds made a surprising announcement Wednesday that it is pivoting from shoes to artificial intelligence. The move boosted shares of the miniscule market cap company — it was valued at about $21 million at Tuesday’s close — by 582%. The shares, which were under $3 a day ago, jumped to about $17.

This is the most bubblicious bubble to ever bubble.

Literally the easiest pump and dump ever. Company failing and you want to dump your shares at a good price? Announce you're doing AI! How? Who cares?! It's AI!

Jump on the baseless short term speculation train.

They should invest in some NFTs while they're at it. I hear those are only going up.

[–] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Well they can't really go down any further.
