I hope all these bearish analysts and banks are right. I would love one more pullback before the generative AI bubble kicks off in earnest. Obviously some of the big tech names are already up big in the last two months, but I’d love to open up a significant position in companies that will help build the infrastructure to support the massive increase in computing power required for generative AI. Nvidia has already doubled from its low in October and AMD is up quite a bit as well. Heck, maybe Intel can even get their act together given that this will be an all-hands on deck effort to supply the processing power that will be needed.
Given all that, I hope Powell gives tech one more big scare because we might already be seeing the impact to the tech market of the potential that generative AI has. Rates are probably still the primary driver, but we will be seeing a new driver take the wheel soon if it hasn’t already.
Thanks for Saturday morning tongue-in-cheek humor.
Be careful what you wish for. Studies have already demonstrated that an AI system can be hacked by changing the order in which training data is fed to it. Cybersecurity experts have only a glimmer of the security vulnerabilities in AI systems and little to no idea how to mitigate those threats.

I’m enjoying the AI art platform H is using.
Not convinced it will be earthshaking in other realms.
2yr went from 4% to 4.50% in a very short span. Market is tense and fragile. For an I vector the best policy is to stay diversified and be conservative with risk.
