FYI there is massive inflation in computer components in just 1 month. RAM prices are 200% higher. If every TSMC wafer needs 8 times more memory than previous averages, and it is skewed towards the most expensive/specialized HBM memory, then even if AI chips get better, AI systems will be even more expensive per unit/tokens per second than they were earlier this year, and no actual advancement in AI will occur.

There is no AI bubble if the government buys out all of the overpriced datacenter time for surveillance and military purposes. There is a huge bubble in rest of economy, energy costs, public debt/spending levels, and people/businesses being able to afford computers, phones, and their own AI needs.

By support, they intend graft by the largest companies with some scraps sent to the smaller ones.

I think this will fail to be implemented because the theft is too old fashioned, giving a rational excuse, and too much bureaucracy.

Instead I think any aid will have less oversight without the whitewashing

I'm personally betting that we'll see a bailout because the regime really doesn't care what people think at this point.

Perhaps hiding kickbacks and graft using traditional ways is the new woke.

I would expect this congress and administration to be proud and open about their misdeeds. To hide it is weakness

I could be wrong

I guess we'll find out soon since it looks like the bubble is close to popping now.
