I'm sorry, but did you ask ChatGPT or another LLM to critique this article?

So are we just disallowing multi-paragraph comments now?

If it's fully AI generated, perhaps add a disclaimer to it?

Isn't circular funding how the entire economy works?

I can see how you could make an argument that this particular ouroboros has an insufficient loop area to sustain itself, or more significantly, lacks connection to the rest of the economy, but money has to flow in circles/cycles or it doesn't work at all.

The critiques of 'circular funding' don't really make sense to me. If you invest 20 billion and you get back 20 billion, your profit is the same. Sure your revenues look higher but investors have access to all that information and should be taking that into account, just like all the other financial data. Michael Burry is betting against AI growth translating into real profits as a whole, not the circular funding.

Nvidia could have invested elsewhere, but they’re doubling down on AI.

Their shares have been tanking for a month, even after a very good earnings report, so perhaps the market seeks a little more diversity?

if you invest 20 and get 20 then you got 0% profit

Why would you say that? If take cash and buy an asset I haven't lost money.

I don't see why. Graphcore bet on SRAM and that backfired because unless you go for insane wafer scale integration like Cerebras, you don't remotely get enough memory for modern LLMs. Graphcore's chip only got to 900MB (which is both a crazy amount and not remotely enough). They've pivoted to DRAM.

You could make an argument for buying Cerebras I guess, but even at 3x the price, DRAM is just so much more cost effective than SRAM I don't see how it can make any sense for LLMs.

It was a straightforward critique of the article’s claims

Given the lack of denial to the straightforward question, you're probably safe in reading this as "yes it was indeed AI generated".
