If you are still paying for Disney+ do note you are paying for your children and family to get shown shitty AI-generated videos
As part of this three-year licensing agreement, Sora will be able to generate short, user-prompted social videos that can be viewed and shared by fans, drawing on more than 200 Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars characters. Agreement will make a selection of these fan-inspired Sora short form videos available to stream on Disney+. Disney and OpenAI affirm a shared commitment to responsible use of AI that protects the safety of users and the rights of creators. Alongside the licensing agreement, Disney will become a major customer of OpenAI, using its APIs to build new products, tools, and experiences, including for Disney+, and deploying ChatGPT for its employees. As part of the agreement, Disney will make a $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI, and receive warrants to purchase additional equity.

So many pro-nvidia moves from President AI today.

I am deeply worried for the future.

NVIDIA's revenue is a chain of pain - selling GPUs bought with debt that are rented to unprofitable LLM companies subsidized by VC who sell access to unprofitable AI companies subsidized by VC.

The end will be gruesome.

NVIDIA Is Dependent On Endless Debt and Credit - As Are Most Of The Customers Of AI Compute, Creating A Deadly Cycle That Ends In Disaster NVIDIA is currently making hundreds of billions in revenue selling GPUs to companies that either plug them in and start losing money or, I assume, put them in a warehouse for safe keeping. This brings me to my core anxiety: why, exactly, are companies pre-ordering GPUs? What benefit is there in doing so? Blackwell does not appear to be “more efficient” in a way that actually makes anybody a profit, and we’re potentially years from seeing these GPUs in operation in data centers at the scale they’re being shipped — so why would anybody be buying more? I doubt these are new customers — they’re likely hyperscalers, neoclouds like CoreWeave and resellers like Dell and SuperMicro — because the only companies that can actually afford to buy them are those with massive amounts of cash or debt, to the point that even Google, Amazon, Meta and Oracle are taking on massive amounts of new debt, all without a plan to make a profit. NVIDIA’s largest customers are increasingly unable to afford its GPUs, which appear to be increasing in price with every subsequent generation. NVIDIA’s GPUs are so expensive that the only way you can buy them is by already having billions of dollars or being able to raise billions of dollars, which means, in a very real sense, that NVIDIA is dependent not on its customers, but on its customers’ credit ratings and financial backers. To make matters worse, the key reason that one would buy a GPU is to either run services using it or rent it to somebody else, and the two largest parties spending money on these services are OpenAI and Anthropic, both of whom lose billions of dollars, and are thus dependent on venture capital and debt (remember, OpenAI has a $4 billion line of credit, and Anthropic a $2.5 billion one too). Yet it gets worse from there. Who, after all, are the biggest customers renting AI compute? That’s right, AI startups, all of which are deeply unprofitable. Cursor — Anthropic’s largest customer and now its biggest competitor in the AI coding sphere — raised $2.3 billion in November after raising $900 million in June. Perplexity, one of the most “popular” AI companies, raised $200 million in September after raising $100 million in July after seeming to fail to raise $500 million in May (I’ve not seen any proof this round closed) after raising $500 million in December 2024. Cognition raised $400 million in September after raising $300 million in March. Cohere raised $100 million in September a month after it raised $500 million. Venture capital is feeding money to either OpenAI or Anthropic to use their models, or in some cases hyperscalers or neoclouds like CoreWeave or Lambda to rent NVIDIA GPUs. OpenAI and Anthropic then raise venture capital or debt to pay hyperscalers or neoclouds to rent NVIDIA GPUs. Hyperscalers and neoclouds then use either debt or existent cashflow (in the case of hyperscalers, though not for long!) to buy more NVIDIA GPUs. Only one company actually makes a profit here: NVIDIA. Aside: I should add there are also NVIDIA resellers like Dell or Supermicro, the latter of which buy NVIDIA GPUs, put them in servers, and sell them to neoclouds like Lambda or CoreWeave. At some point, a link in this debt-backed chain breaks, because very little cashflow exists to prop it up. At some point, venture capitalists will be forced to stop funnelling money into unprofitable, unsustainable AI companies, which will make those companies unable to funnel money into the pockets of those buying GPUs, which will make it harder for those companies buying GPUs to justify (or raise debt for) buying more GPUs. And if I’m honest, none of NVIDIA’s success really makes any sense. Who is buying so many GPUs? Where are they going? Why are inventories increasing? Is it really just pre-buying parts for future orders? Why are accounts receivable climbing, and how much product is NVIDIA shipping before it gets paid? While these are both explainable as “this is a big company and that’s how big companies do business” (which is true!), why do receivables not seem to be coming down? And how long, realistically, can the largest company on the stock market continue to grow revenues selling assets that only seem to lose its customers money? I worry about NVIDIA, not because I believe there’s a massive scandal, but because so much rides on its success, and its success rides on the back of dwindling amounts of venture capital and debt, because nobody is actually making money to pay for these GPUs. In fact, I’m not even saying it goes tits up. Hell, it might even have another good quarter or two. It really comes down to how long people are willing to be stupid and how long Jensen Huang is able to call hyperscalers at three in the morning and say “buy one billion dollars of GPUs, pig.” No, really! I think much of the US stock market’s growth is held up by how long everybody is willing to be gaslit by Jensen Huang into believing that they need more GPUs. At this point it’s barely about AI anymore, as AI revenue — real, actual cash made from selling services run on GPUs — doesn’t even cover its own costs, let alone create the cash flow necessary to buy $70,000 GPUs thousands at a time. It’s not like any actual innovation or progress is driving this bullshit! In any case, the markets crave a healthy NVIDIA, as so many hundreds of billions of dollars of NVIDIA stock sit in the hands of retail investors and people’s 401ks, and its endless growth has helped paper over the pallid growth of the US stock market and, by extension, the decay of the tech industry’s ability to innovate. Once this pops — and it will pop, because there is simply not enough money to do this forever — there must be a referendum on…

Well, I for one am so glad the production of all these stale GPUs is causing RAM and SDD prices to skyrocket and I have been unable to upgrade my computer in 5 years.

Well too bad he doesn't control Steam's store. He barely controls a much smaller store which can't gain marketshare even though it gives games away for free every week. Maybe I am crazy but could it be that people whom actually buy from game Stores like the idea of knowing what to expect.
