      AI is a race. Thats why. Nvidia has Cosmo. AMD has World Labs.

    Does she have a T-shirt with a bowtie printed on it?

      Wow you are completely lost. Thats the logo of her company World Labs. Its not a bowtie. LOL Its an abstract shape being bent to bridge the vitual world into the physical world. In this case it takes the form of a butterfly silhouette.

    Bloomberg had a segment with Lisa Su over 2 years ago, where she was asked about nvidia’s dominance. Su noted that the artificial intelligence chip market was just beginning, meaning there was plenty of room for multiple strong players as demand scaled up, I bought AMD, MU, INTC, AVGO, TSMC, AMAT, GLW, APH, SLOIY and more GOOG, MSFT, AMZN and NVDA and had the greatest 3 years of stock wealth ever. Recently added CBRS and SKHY. Only duds so far are Oracle and Adobe when I bought it at a dip. Then it kept dipping.

    Bookworm Su finally woke up and once again is being a copycat – catching up on physical AI. She is so fucking useless if not for gratitude of useless Intel.

    Good for her, but honestly it is a scam. World model is far from becoming a product and making real money, and spending $8.2B just to buy that team is way over-priced. It is just the manipulation of the VCs behind the scene trying to get out. I expect AMD stock to drop for a while because of this deal.

  17. @AgingBoy

    September 28, 2026 at 8:15 pm

    A 2+ year old startup getting bought over at 8.2B.. is the valuation / worth based on the potential / hype or revenue. Hearing that they are researching a lot, I assume not much revenue yet. You don’t hear such numbers for startup acquisition and now AI is making it happen

  18. @thebaron6481

    September 28, 2026 at 8:26 pm

    In summary, AMD will invest in an AI data center which will increase the GPU shortage for the gamer consumers increasing even more the prices in the coming years.

    what a move! Dr. Su & Dr. Li are joining force, this can be scary.

    Where are all of the ‘cures’ being promised😂

    Great move, but sounds like they haven’t got their hierarchy straight yet.
