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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's "Chemical X" which is fine.

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.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Not all Cylons have the scanner. Some are sexy:

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Oh I only read the 1st book

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

that would be a document scanner

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I thought that was Josh Gates at first.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

So say we all. Rawr

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 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?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Based

And free market pilled

Is NVIDIA praying on the shitter?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Get in line, Nvidia

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

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