Andrew Lokenauth (@FluentInFinance@mastodon.social) Attached: 1 image Nvidia $NVDA CEO Jensen Huang says he wants to be involved in almost everything Elon Musk does. Nvidia $NVDA will now take up to $2 billion of equity in Elon Musk's xAI, Bloomberg reports. Musk brings data from cars, rockets, and social graphs. Nvidia brings compute and systems. Nvidia thinks Musk will build something that competes with or beats ChatGPT, and they want ownership before the valuation goes parabolic.

This is the very definition of a financial bubble, and the same type of circular investing that caused the internet bubble in the early 2000s.

We went from "we will deport the worst of the worst" to "we will deport anyone here illegally" to "we will round up anyone who looks wrong" to "people who live in cities are the enemy" essentially overnight.

Since I know a lot of iOS developers still read what I have to say:

Don’t use use a third party β€œmetrics” or advertising stack in your application. Ever. The data gathered by such stacks is being sold, and among the buyers are fascists.

I know there's a lot going on right now, but the characterization by the president - to our top military leadership - of US cities as "battlefields" that should be used as "military training grounds" (and without "stupid rules of engagement") is a very big deal. Even by 2025 standards, this is […]

Sceenshot of a Tweet from Guillermo Rauch (Vercel CEO) about the conversation he had today with motherfucking Benjamin Natanyahu about "AI empowering everyone to build software".

He ends it with "Optimistic for Peace, safety and greatness for Israel and its neighbors".

Here's the CEO of Vercel chatting with Netanjahu about AI _today_.

Great that Mr Rauch is now "Optimistic for Peace, safety and greatness for Israel and its neighbors". People in Gaza will be very happy.

You still deploying all your shit to Vercel and using their software stack?

this news is a bit disturbing. Kushner and his billionaire buddies are buying the biggest game company as conservatives try to control all culture and media.

I bet what EA under new ownership will feel like will be similar to the new game Skate that EA released last week.
