“It’s a strange thing goes on inside a bubble,” [note: #genAI is not ONLY a bubble; this isn’t a perfect analogy. But the extent to which it and the US government are mutually captured by a necessity of overvaluation may be very similar.] #enron #digitalGovernance #regulation #ethics #AIEthics

Everyone who works for Google, Palantir, or Musk should read or watch this play about #Enron (from 2010) Skilling: A deregulated system means …The market. The free market is there to show regulators how wrong they're getting it. I'm setting you free in California, fellas, bring it on home.

The SP500 is starting to look like NVIDIA -> companies NVIDIA is investing in -> everyone else. It's starting to get NVIDIA heavy. If they go down...SP500 is going to look terrible.

Enron 2.0

Those of us that endure Wessex Water know that Skellett is dodgier than a forged nine-bob note.

Some of us with long memories remember his arrest as part of the #Enron scandal.

So sketchy…feels like what were seen as criminal and unethical practices back in the #Enron era are now SOP for many PE shops.

Investors Warn of ‘Rot in Private Equity’ as Funds Strike Circular Deals

Buyout firms have struggled to sell companies they own and have instead found a workaround to get cash back to clients: Selling the companies to themselves.

Remember. #NVIDIAisNotENRON #NothingLikeENRON. No matter what #NVIDIA says. They are not like #ENRON. No danger, no risk, no assumptions. No they are not like ENRON. NVIDIA is not like ENRON. Repeat. "ENRON was one of the largest criminal enterprises in the world. NVIDIA is just a bit dodgy." NVIDIA and ENRON are nothing alike. You still don't believe? Because the internal memo that says.... "NVIDIA is not like ENRON!" event though nobody asked?

A long but good read. Interesting point about where TF did a claimed 6 million shipped GPUs actually go.
