It may be obvious to some, but this is a fake tweet and the only post today is some early bird pricing for a conference: https://xcancel.com/nvidia/with_replies

Other than the Nvidia stock price, the joke is that the contents of the tweet were something the Intel CEO did tweet after a similar stock plunge! https://xcancel.com/PGelsinger/status/1820129317122080977?lang=en

Just for the context, they lost 16% yesterday, which is one day after the prayer, which tells you about the efficacy of those

[–] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

this is not a prayer. it's copy/paste of a verse

[–] Tillman@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It’s a joke tweet making fun of the Intel CEO fwiw.

[–] imouto@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Thoughts and prayers I guess

I have to say it...

X is not a valid name for anything, and will never fit grammatically as a proper name. It doesn't matter how long somebody insists on using it.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah that's why it's a common variable name and it's partly because its a common variable name

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

it took til this comment to make me realize it wasn't "NVIDIA X" like that was a product

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a valid name for the chemical accidentally used by Prof Utonium to create the powerpuff girls.

[–] cadekat@pawb.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's "Chemical X" which is fine.

Then explain "X, a Jesus". He did some cool miracles and shit.

Nvidia:

  • ✅ AI
  • ✅ Religious
  • 🚫 Red scanning visual sensors

Cylons:

  • ✅ AI
  • ✅ Religious
  • ✅ Red scanning visual sensors

They're only one step away, people, and I'm not even sure about the 🚫 on red scanning visual sensors.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Not all Cylons have the scanner. Some are sexy:

[–] sga@lemmings.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

i have no idea what cyclon or scanner is, but man sure is dope

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

In Battlestar Galactica, humanity has fled earth after a hostile takeover by AI. On their last remaining ark fleeing to a habitable planet are Cylons, AI disguised as humans, some not even aware they ARE cylons. Fantastic show.

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

finally got around to finishing that, it was pretty good, my only beef was

spoilerwhatever the hell Starbuck was after she came back? Also, they introduced the concept of cylons 'casting' visions, but evidently that wasn't what Gaius was experiencing? then what was it? Seemed like they were pushing the idea of christianity in a freaking science fiction show, and it completely turned me off the last season.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Better than the hyper-mormon ending to Ender's Game~

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wait did I miss something I read that like 10 years ago...

Also, I used to think the message board propaganda thing that the siblings did that radicalized more than half of the voters was far fetched and a little corny. Turns out that was the most realistic part.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean books 3 (Xenocide) and 4 (Children of the Mind), as well as his The Memory of Earth series.

[–] DogWater@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Oh I only read the 1st book

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They should have stuck with the fan theory that Cylonism could spread like an STD rather than... Whatever the ending was.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah another contender of 'fantastic show that produces an absurd ending that kind of ruins it'. But it was a wild ride the whole time, and I enjoyed it.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah. What was the deal with those flying motorcycles anyway?

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

A scanner is a machine that creates a digital version of a physical object, most commonly a piece of paper. But that's not important right now.

[–] TseseJuer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

that would be a document scanner

[–] sga@lemmings.world 1 points 1 month ago

i know what paper scanners are, but yes, my question may imply that i want to know what a scanner is in general

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

He probably still has the spine scanner, we just never saw it because the BSG producers are cowards.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I thought that was Josh Gates at first.

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

So say we all. Rawr

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s fake, and a joke, but based on a real tweet the Intel CEO made when their stock crashed too.

Today we mourn, tomorrow we moon. Buy the dip at 11:59 PM.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And then Trump implements tariffs on Taiwan and it craters again.

[–] far_university190@feddit.org 1 points 4 weeks ago

No way, tarriff only for west taiwan.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nobody tell Elon Musk about ComStar because he'll use stuff like this to Kickstart Word of Blake

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wobbies are bad news, people. Everyone gets nuked or murdered by cyborgs.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

Can we at least get cool mechs? Or will reality continue being this shitty dystopia with nearly all of the bad and none of the cool?

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

bought the dip yesterday, i'm currently up 5.25% on Nvidia

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Based

And free market pilled

[–] Onionguy@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Is NVIDIA praying on the shitter?

[–] 200ok@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Get in line, Nvidia

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nvidia is just describing the type of processing that GPUs do.

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 3 points 1 month ago

Oh are they starting to introduce machine spirits and how to appease them with the proper litany?

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

And have not a whit of concern for that thornbush directly in front of you
