A billion dollars on AI pharmaceuticals is not a big deal for a multi-trillion dollar company like nVidia.
In terms of keeping the desperate hype bubble going, it is not the money spent, but the "buzz" and the "See we told you so."
The Big Tech companies have spent over $700 BILLION over the last three years on AI infrastructure. That doesn't count ongoing electricity or the cost of upgrading to next-gen chips.
The AI hardware vendors know this.
Getting bikini pics of Queer Starmer, cat pictures, and fake female goldfish on OnlyFins will not pay the tab: the AI companies have only pulled in $40 billion in revenue in that time.
Motive, means, and opportunity are already there. Let's see if criminality ensues.
