   I had not realized just how bad the news of the DeepSeek chatbot had been for Nvidia's stock price. I suppose that placing all your bets on a bullshit technology that nobody wants has its downsides.

     @gabrielesvelto Still too high - needs to collapse to 0 for the good of humanity tbh.

     @gabrielesvelto @bhearsum and AMD wasting no time to capitalize on Nvidia's misfortune, gotta love it https://mastodon.social/@chromamagic.com@bsky.brid.gy/113901158019698233

     @gabrielesvelto In this case, this dip is because people are worried that a competitor will reduce NVIDIA's profits, no? Not about the fundamental technology?

     @bhearsum I haven't read too much on the topic but it seems that the DeepSeek LLMs are roughly as good (or as bad) as the big bad OpenAI LLMs but need a fraction of the computational power... making Nvidia's future prospect look bad

     Rich Felker repeated this.

     @bhearsum @gabrielesvelto It's that the competitor (also garbage but that doesn't matter) doesn't need obscene numbers of GPUs and coal power plants to get the same (garbage) results.
