Recently, Bloomberg has been hyping up one of its own Indian-Chinese gay male analysts named Naidu, with every intention of elevating him to the status of a star tech finance analyst. Today, he published an analysis article titled “Cloud Gaming and AI Could Lead to the Demise of Home Consoles,” and Bloomberg immediately jumped in to promote it aggressively, quickly sparking heated discussions in the industry. Among other things, it predicts that future AI games will all be fully cloud-based, so it’s bearish on Nintendo, believing that Nintendo’s cloud business deployment is slow, and that consoles are a very important product and business line. My take on this is just four words: “Utter nonsense!” His logic boils down to one sentence: Computing power migrating to the cloud equates to the inevitable disappearance of local consoles. Now, there is also cloud technology, so by this logic, Tencent is the most worth investing in, and Tencent should have already eliminated everyone else. First, cloud faces issues with transmission, latency, and bandwidth; second, consoles also solve problems of physical feedback and interaction, so it’s impossible that after going to the cloud, consoles would completely lose their market. Second, cloud service providers are everywhere, and the technology will only get more mature, but the gaming industry’s real moat is IP and design—network tech stuff like that is all easy pickings.
PS After seeing this ridiculous analysis, I was actually a bit excited at first, thinking that if this news could tank Nintendo’s stock after the Japanese market opens, it’d be a perfect chance for me to add to my position. Who knew the market would just flat-out ignore it. Bloomberg, cut back on the DEI promotion, would you? You’re just damaging your own brand.

A Chinese-language in-depth opinion piece exploring whether AI has truly created incremental value. Drawing on the recent sharp selloff in US equities (Intel down 28.6%, Google down 12.6%, Reddit down 29%) alongside rising hardware prices, collapsing token prices, and disappearing traffic, the author argues that AI is destroying value by making intelligence no longer scarce, and believes we are on the eve of an AI bubble bursting, with companies like ByteDance and Microsoft reinvesting nearly all of their profits into AI infrastructure.
@TaoRay: Yes, a few weeks ago, when AI upstream hardware was at its peak of hype, I asserted against the trend on Space that "the market inflection point is coming, the upstream falls, the downstream eats its fill, it's time to position in software cash cows." The market indeed developed that way. I have a very important observation: "In recent years, the increase of retail investors and speculative funds in the market will increase the amplitude of volatility, but on the contrary..."
The author recalls the previous prediction of the inflection point in AI upstream hardware hype, believes that the market will see sector rotation with downstream software benefiting, and points out that the increase in retail investors will amplify volatility but make the pattern more certain.
Not sure if this was posted. But I think it's highly relevant to us.
The AI data center boom has caused memory and GPU prices to skyrocket and component shortages, while consumer PC industry sales have plummeted over 70%. Industry experts believe PC ownership is being replaced by a cloud rental model.
@oragnes: Spot on! Tech fund giant Gavin Baker completely dismantles the so-called 'AI bubble' from an extremely sharp perspective. Don't scare people with the 2000 internet crash. Back then, it was crazy debt, with 99% of fiber optics lying idle; today's AI infrastructure is all backed by hard cash flow, with every GPU running at full throttle.
Tech fund giant Gavin Baker analyzes the AI bubble from a unique perspective, arguing that current AI infrastructure is backed by cash flow and GPUs are operating at full capacity, unlike the 2000 internet bubble, and that TSMC's capacity constraints are key to preventing the bubble from collapsing.

A long-form analysis of how the "kill line" that Chinese LLM vendors built through rock-bottom pricing over the past two years has been pierced in reverse by Anthropic's Haiku 5.5 and OpenAI's lightning-fast price cuts — and how the wave of price hikes, the compute crunch, and losses despite going public are testing the pricing power of China's AI companies.
