There are fresh signs that the AI boom is wobbling. Again. In recent weeks, a much-vaunted AI focused hedge fund run by Valley wunderkind Leopold Aschenbrenner lost $35 billion dollars. South Korea saw its largest-ever stock market collapse as investors pulled bets on AI chips. Due to a fresh series of moratoria and political opposition, the future of the massive data center buildout has never looked more uncertain. The US markets have dipped and boomed, dipped and boomed.

    Really good video, quite enjoyed it, had to stick it on and not watch the video though because the audio is slightly off sync. Was a great listen anyway.

      OK I didn’t notice any sync problem myself. But I am also not very focused on the video part.
      Glad you enjoyed it, I thought it would be a good fit for this sub.

        It wasn’t that bad, maybe half a second delay of the video behind the audio, at least when I was watching it on my phone through the browser. Juuuust enough delay to trigger my brain to feel very uncomfortable.

          I agree it’s a pain to watch when it happens, and it can reduce the ability to focus a lot IMO.

            Definitely, that’s why I just sat my phone to the side and listened to it while I did dishes.
