Financially liquid companies locked into feeding AWS (with their 50%-ish profit margin) should buy Nvidia/TSMC/ASML/(AMD) stock to get some of their money back? Totally not a bubble.

I've heard arguments that you should buy NVDA as a hedge for losing your job to AI. Not sure what to make of it.

If AI actually starts replacing jobs, society is going to collapse/restructure to the point that risk management no longer applies.

What I can't wrap my head around is the fact NVDA almost is a representation of "AI infrastructure" in the narrative. It is weird now that everyone is saying the focus is be in inference / test time scaling compute: inference should be easier to offload to chips from other manufacturers.

Maybe I'm too dense to get it, but that doesn't make sense to me.

Even if the technology of AI ends up driving a huge economic value there is no guarantee that will translate into NVIDIA stock performance. The expectation that NVIDIA will capture a lot of this value is already priced in to the stock, which is a major reason why the current price is so high.

Prematurely, in my opinion only. A lot of those will be coming back unless there's a major breakthrough soon.
