Those who know history are doomed to repeat it with those who don’t.

Why wouldn’t you use AI as a shortcut if you can? Can you actually replace senior devs with AI? I’m sure that depends on the company and what they consider a “senior dev”. Maybe there’s some not-so-senior senior devs that should be worried.

It isn’t. Nonprofits don’t have a ton of money, and implementing strong security controls takes money and time away from other activities. Small businesses have a lot of trouble for the same reason.

Good. There’s a lot of non-programmers who are now bad ones and are using AI to make their ideas real. It’s made programming way more accessible to people who would never learn before.

That’s an unrealized gain to the tax man, but a bank won’t loan you money against it, because like you said, it could drop to zero. If you hold a short position in a company that goes bankrupt then there’s no mechanism for the value to drop after that point. It’s a glitch in the market that can be exploited, if you’re rich enough.

Investors short a company. As the value drops, the value of the short increases. When the company goes bankrupt, the short play reaches full value, since it costs 0 to buy the shares. It also means that gain is unrealized and has permanent value until the short is exercised, which they never do because it’s a taxable event.

Unrealized stock gains are companies that have been shorted into bankruptcy, so the value doesn’t change.

Well, I’m no stockologist, but I believe when your company has a perpetual sales backlog with a 15-year head start on your competition, that should lead to a pretty high valuation.

They’re not building them for themselves, they’re selling GPU time and SuperPods. Their valuation is because there’s STILL a lineup a mile long for their flagship GPUs. I get that people think AI is a fad, and it’s public form may be, but there’s thousands of GPU powered projects going on behind closed doors that are going to consume whatever GPUs get made for a long time.

Your financial problems are not my concern!

The lesson there is: Spare no expense on your IT budget!

Nothing bad will happen, as long as they spare no expense.

So a really big death ray? Perhaps some sort of doomsday device?

So you’re saying a space orbiting death ray will cast an area large enough to generate solar power eh? HEY ELON!
