I’m perplexed, what are they protesting?


I’m perplexed, what are they protesting?


Lol that’s some pretty good self-awareness


Exactly! 😫


And it never ends! When I was 25, I cringed at how I was when I was a teenager, but I was glad that at least I wasn’t like that anymore. Now that I’m in my 30s, I cringe at how I was when I was 25!


That’s not what that article says, though. It says this:
According to Taiwan’s Commercial Times, companies including Adata, TeamGroup, Apacer, Innodisk, Transcend Information, and Silicon Power are collectively raising more than NT$28 billion, or roughly $880 million, through convertible bonds, syndicated loans, and private share placements to fund memory chip purchases.
That’s spread out across at least 6 companies, not 3, and it’s not an 880 million loan, it’s a combination of loans and stock. That’s a lot of money, but it’s not an indication of distress. Corporations take “not small” loans frequently. To some degree, it’s bad business NOT to have liabilities.
None of these are traded in the US, so it’s a little out of my wheelhouse to look up their proxy statements/10Ks, or whatever the equivalent is on the Taiwanese exchange, so I have no idea what the covenants are for any of these loans (e.g. if they’re secured by assets) and I’m totally open to it if someone has hard evidence that these corporations are in any immediate danger of being unable to cover their loans, but I don’t see it in the article OP linked or the one you did.
I think there’s a lot of wishful thinking going around the AI bubble. We all wanna see it pop. But the unfortunate truth is that sometimes it takes a really long time for a bubble to finally pop.


That makes a lot of sense to me, but there’s no evidence that those companies are in significant distress yet and not really the same thing as the collapse of the entire tech sector


Is that supported by the article? Right now, data centers are still buying the products. It’s not that no one can afford them.


I’m not sure what you mean by the collapse of the tech marker?


Thank you for pigeon training videos. You knew exactly why I asked LOL


Trains wild pigeons where?
I loved the Flintstones, good parody
Fuzion Frenzy even though it doesn’t really apply because it wasn’t really single player at all, it was only local co-op mini games like a Mario Party kinda (with no board.)
Even though it doesn’t really match what the greentext is describing, the vibe of just, like, enjoying video games in your living room with no DLC nor microtransactions made me think of it. It’s a game that was, like, moderately successful but not enough that I ever run into people on the internet that know about it, so it almost feels like a kind of secret I share with my sister, and the game had strong art direction that was really early 2000s that hits me with nostalgia too.


Just commenting so I remember to come back later, sorry 😊 I wanna see what people say
I’m so tired of this, and also people online that think that being aroused ever should be punishable by public shaming
I love my dogs but I haven’t actually laughed out loud at a thing I saw on the Internet in so long but this did if


I had a boss once who was going down this path! She wanted to make a side-business selling AI slop videos with financial advice. I don’t know if it ever actually went anywhere. I found out she pled guilty to fraud a couple years before I started and made a hasty exit.


GOOOOO PLANET


If only any governments had any appetite for enforcing anti-price fixing laws
This would not work on me because I don’t like to be reminded and also I’m already married
Oh right, theyre still not happy with the rate of kidnapping and terrorizing non-whites
