@GaryMarcus @TomTomClub510 It’s the same kind of broken comparison people use to make ludicrous statements like “Microsoft is worth more than [X nation with a GDP lower than MSFT market cap]”. The problem is that equity numbers are (by definition) gonna be much bigger than rev numbers.

@fawqasfa1 @TomTomClub510 We use $ as a metric to compare unlike things pretty much all the time every day.

@TomTomClub510 @GaryMarcus Yeah, and “the sum of all [the value of] the chips” would be revenue. So, comparing asset value to revenue. It’s a totally meaningless comparison; one measures economic activity and the other measures investor confidence in future performance.

Staggering: Nvidia’s loss in market cap today ($278.9 billion) was likely greater than the sum of all the chips they have sold thus far to GenAI companies.

The statement '@fawqasfa1 @TomTomClub510 Enough of the mansplaining; off to mute you go.' constitutes public discourse as it engages in a public conversation about economic comparisons and market values, which are substantive public issues. The tone is dismissive and confrontational, and the intent appears to be to shut down the conversation rather than engage constructively.
