Ask HN: Let's all sell our AI stocks, short Nvidia and pop the AI bubble

Humans are better than AI.


AI is a generational attack on working people everywhere by the capitalized class.

It has earned our animosity, especially if the attack looks like it will actually go through.

And, ironically, I don't think the capitalized even understand that they are building a giant guillotine for themselves, as if the buildout billions are well-spent, there would necessarily be a communist revolution, and it would be bloody. No one eats safely around the starving.

Without a horse in this race, I'm fascinated to see which the market chooses: machine-god + self-annihilation, or humiliation + bankruptcy.

Either way, there is nothing like the present configuration on the other side. Its a political, not technological, singularity.


At least AI is not depressed all the time and trying to make everyone lose their money


Standing reminder: The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.


My intuition tells me I am right about this one.


Your intuition has been telling you this same thing for years, now:

If you shorted Nvidia back when you started complaining, you would not be any richer or better-off today. I'm not an AI maxi, but you've let your own emotions poison your understanding of the AI market segment.


Another standing reminder:

LONG position: potential losses (FIXED), potential gains (INFINITE)

SHORT position: potential losses (INFINITE), potential gains (FIXED)


Grab a coffee with Leopold Aschenbrenner, ask how their experience with intuition went. You must be right, on time, and with sufficient capital behind you to win.


Arguable he had all 3. He was right about the market going up for AI, he was right about the years, and he had double-digit billions behind him.

It's just there's no sufficient capital when you decide to re-leverage to 4x every time you can.


He was too early.


Shorting Nvidia this late into the game would just reward the people going long on the stock, perpetuating the bubble with your own hubris.


Nvidia P/E ratio 34.47. should be 10.


It can get even higher.


I can remain irrational far longer than AI stocks can pollute nature, pillage earth and cause drought and heat related fires.

Today is the Terminator AI moment.


> I can remain irrational far longer than AI stocks can pollute nature

AI, pollution, eminent domain and global warming will all outlast you.

> Today is the Terminator AI moment.

Try mid 1990s, the earliest deployment of autonomous-kill weapons like the Patriot System and CBU-97 SFW.


you first


the AI emperor is naked.


> Humans are better than AI. Sure.

> sell our AI stocks... and pop the AI bubble

Not sure it works that way, unfortunately. e.g. index funds


Routes. Resources. AI. Accelerated Infrastructure. What is there to not like?


I don't like the AI datacenters, Sam Altman and Claude slop.


why do you like normal data centers but not "AI data centers"? What do you think the difference is? When does a normal data center turn into an AI data center?
