    The AI stuff is paid for in cash

    Nvidia is financing OpenAi using the loans against the stock value though?

    Then Open Ai uses that money to pay Nvidia, which inflates their stock value.

    Does not seem like cash to me.

      It’s funny money. The story is always generally the same when it comes to this stuff. You sell to me at a higher value, I turn around and sell it back to you at a higher value, you turn around and sell it back to me at a higher value and so on. All those “gains” get “invested” into something else, and then I sell that at a higher value and you…
