In a wild, dizzy dollar dance, Nvidia pumped a record-smashing $100 billion into OpenAI, who then double-dipped by partnering with AMD to fill more data centers with rival chips, creating a 'circular' money swirl that makes your recycling bin blush. OpenAI's valuations skyrocketed to a jaw-dropping $500 billion despite slowing profits and projected $14 billion losses in 2026. Wednesday’s Bank of England and IMF warnings screamed 'bubble!' louder than a social distancing bot at a rave. Meanwhile, OpenAI dreams of ChatGPT as your OS and social network, while buyers might get AI surveillance devices in their pockets — talk about privacy hugs! It’s like Silicon Valley betting your savings on a virtual railway to nowhere with some Taiwainese-chip-based hope.
