Nvidia Starts Pac as AI Chip Maker Builds DC Influence Force

break them up

Wait, I think I've seen this one before...

I treat this as a sign of the inevitable terminal phase of any private cooperation in US: they start to invest their resources to stretch into areas that are irrelevant to their core mission, but they have to, because their core mission is accomplished already, and their business, which is built on top of the fruits of their core mission, needs protection beyond direct means relevant to their core mission.

When pursing a core mission, many corps fail, either because lack of resources, or mission itself is not meaningful, execution failure, etc.; the fortunate few, might be in growth, while their mission keeps self-reinforce into bigger and bigger scope, that's the wonderful time of growth driven by meaningful mission.

When the core mission is done. The corp resets.

Vast majority of them make profit that is small enough that the normal corporate logic prevail, and they behave normally, primarily to survive.

Extremely rarely, when the core mission is so meaningful, the corp reaps so large a profit, and so many stakeholders are attracted, that they no longer focus on core mission, they start to focus on profit.

That's why NVDA is now buying assets across the whole stack of AI, while still increase price to maintain its profit. NVDA wants to maximize profit.

The inherent flaw is that private corp in US system, has no meaningful end game when they are in this state of astronomical profit.

Gotta protect the windfall LoL

we live in cyberpunk without all of the cool stuff
