This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Lee Givens, Jr., a 57-year-old product manager in Seattle who works at Woven by Toyota, a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation. Business Insider has verified his employment with documentation. This essay has been edited for length and clarity. I'd worked at Big Tech companies for more than a decade, but a year ago, I found myself in the middle of a humbling job search.I started working for Microsoft in 2011 as a product manager, but in 2014, I was amo ...

These likely future members of the $8 trillion club share much in common.The biggest of the big keep getting bigger. That's been the story for the stock market in recent years. The so-called "Magnificent Seven" stocks now have a combined market cap of over $21 trillion.I suspect this trend will continue. I'll even step out on a limb and make a prediction: Each of these five stocks will be worth more than $8 trillion by 2030. 1. NvidiaNvidia (NVDA 1.81%) is the easiest pick to join the $8 trillion club with ...

每经AI快讯，12月1日，美股大型科技股盘前普跌，微软跌0.4%，亚马逊跌0.6%，苹果、谷歌跌0.7%， 特斯拉、英伟达跌0.9%，Meta跌1%。 ...

全球规模内科技股的调整，与AI的泡沫争议密切相关。当地时刻11月19日，英伟达发布了第三季度成 绩：营收570.1亿美元，超出商场预期的549.2亿美元；净利润319.1亿美元，同比上涨65%。但亮丽的财 报并未彻底消除商场关于AI泡沫的忧虑，11月20日，英伟达收盘跌落3.15%，美股大型科技股集体下 挫，AMD跌超7%，甲骨文跌超6%。 光控资本以为，全球危险财物的波动外表是流动性问题，实质是危险财物关于AI单一叙事过于依靠。 该组织指出，本年9月以来，美国首要科技公司的CDS（信贷违约掉期）价格均显着上涨，9月以来到11 月21日，债款融资最急进的甲骨文的5年期CDS报价已上涨167%，微软、亚马逊和谷歌别离上涨58%、 53%和34%。在AI获得更广泛的商业价值前，AI基建开支仍然依靠于科技大厂的运营现金流和债款融 资。在AI形成生态壁垒和规划酬劳递增的商业模型之前，科技板块对实际经济体现和货币政策都会保 持高度灵敏。 近一段时刻以来，关于"AI泡沫"的争议不绝于耳，并引发了全球规模内本钱商场的动乱。业内遍及以 为，尽管二级商场股价或许存在部分泡沫，但就工业开展而言，AI仍然具有宽广的商场空间。与此一 ...

毫不夸张地说，ChatGPT随后颠覆了商业和科技领域，迅速走红。它至今仍位居苹果免费应用排行榜首位，并且引爆了一波生成式AI产品的浪潮。 ChatGPT 北京时间12月1日，据科技网站TechCrunch报道，美国当地时间11月30日，ChatGPT迎来问世三周年纪念日。这款聊天机器人引爆了生成式AI市场，但是或 许也催生出了一场泡沫。 2022年11月30日，OpenAI向世界推出了一款新产品，并轻描淡写地将其描述为"一个名为ChatGPT的模型，它能以对话方式互动"。 这股热潮还能持续多久？除了英伟达CEO黄仁勋(Jensen Huang)外，越来越多的AI企业高管开始承认，行业可能正身处泡沫之中。 "有人会在AI领域损失惨重。"OpenAI CEO萨姆·奥特曼(Sam Altman)在8月与记者共进晚餐时表示。 同样地，Sierra CEO兼OpenAI董事长布雷特·泰勒(Bret Taylor)也认为行业正处于"泡沫"之中，并将其与上世纪90年代末的互联网泡沫相提并论。他预测，虽 然个别公司可能会失败，"但AI将重塑经济格局，就像互联网一样，未来必将创造巨大的经济价值"。 再过三年或更短的时间，人们或 ...
