Prof G Markets
AI Skeptic: This Business Makes No Sense

I have a source at Oracle that told me it's about $6.30 an hour of cogs to run a B300, pardon me, GPU from NVIDIA.

These margins do not make sense.

Prof G Markets

These costs don't make sense.

Prof G Markets

I don't see how you pick up the pieces here.

Prof G Markets
AI Skeptic: This Business Makes No Sense

I don't see it at all.

Prof G Markets

And indeed, I don't think there's much useful infrastructure left over.

And this is the big argument that people are making, because people are saying, we're in a bubble now.

Prof G Markets
AI Skeptic: This Business Makes No Sense

We're in a bubble now.

Prof G Markets

What stuff?

Prof G Markets
AI Skeptic: This Business Makes No Sense

Prof G Markets
AI Skeptic: This Business Makes No Sense

They have at least a billion dollars of B200 chips that no one wants to buy.

Prof G Markets
AI Skeptic: This Business Makes No Sense

We've already got...

Prof G Markets
AI Skeptic: This Business Makes No Sense

The fallow inventory.

Prof G Markets
AI Skeptic: This Business Makes No Sense

Nothing's happening.

Prof G Markets
AI Skeptic: This Business Makes No Sense

I'm sure someone will do something, but nothing's going to be cheaper in 10 years.

Things work like you could pick up the servers and you could actually put them in.
