    Well nVidia just sells the hardware to the AI companies, so even if the bubble pops, they won’t go bankrupt.

    Except all those companies are in an investor circle jerk with each other…

    If AI bursts it doesn’t just hurt nvidia’s sales of products used by AI.

    Nvidia has over $100 billion invested in OpenAI:

    And even more billions invested in other AI companies. Because the AI companies can’t afford to buy what Nvidia is selling at the price.

    This means Nvidia “owns” a bunch of those AI companies, and can take loans out on the valuation…

    If AI goes bankrupt, all those investments are worthless, which means banks call in the loans that used it as collateral. It could easily wipe out Nvidia.

    It’s not just one surface level thing, even tho that’s all you seem to have thought of. You’re worried about a couple hundred million in sales like it’s not sitting next to 100 billion dollar loan.

    Like bro, come on man…

      Would just get classified as “too big to fall” and bankrolled by the government, cause you know, market.
