The article discusses the author's concerns about the AI bubble, which they believe is unstable and built on blind faith. The author argues that the current AI boom is not generating significant revenue for companies like Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Tesla, despite their massive investments in AI infrastructure. The author cites examples of these companies' financial reports, which show that their AI revenue is minimal compared to their capital expenditures. For instance, Microsoft's AI revenue is mostly from OpenAI's spend on Microsoft's Azure cloud, which is sold at a discounted rate, making Microsoft's "real" AI revenue around $3 billion. The author also notes that NVIDIA's stock value is heavily influenced by the AI trade, and that the company's revenue growth is largely driven by sales of GPUs to a few large companies. The author warns that if any of these companies reduce their investments in NVIDIA chips, it could have a significant impact on the wider market. The article concludes by arguing that the AI trade is not driving meaningful revenue growth and that companies are hand-waving about their AI investments to avoid revealing the true state of their finances.

John Romero, a legendary FPS developer, shared a story about the inception of the Deer Hunter series on a recent podcast. In the 1990s, Wal-Mart had significant influence in the gaming industry, and to get games on their shelves, developers had to go through GT Interactive. The primary buyer at Wal-Mart, based in Texas, asked GT to create a deer hunting game, which led to the development of Deer Hunter by WizardWorks. Romero stated that the hunting genre was created because of Wal-Mart's request, and the first Deer Hunter game was released in 1997, preceding other hunting games like Big Buck Hunter. Romero also expressed his belief that indie games are the future of the industry.

A Redfin report found that Canadian searches for American homes on its website have dropped significantly since US President Donald Trump took office. Searches for properties in the Las Vegas Valley from Canada were down 24.3% year-over-year as of May, with overall Canadian searches for US properties down 26%. A Redfin agent in Las Vegas reported seeing fewer Canadian clients, mostly investors, who no longer view the US as a good investment opportunity. The decline is attributed to shifting political winds, including tariffs on Canadian imports, and a weak Canadian dollar. Historically, Canadians have made up a large portion of international homebuyers in the US, but the current trend may impact the US real estate market.

The article discusses the best and worst video game adaptations, highlighting the improvement in storytelling in recent adaptations. It mentions "Arcane" as one of the best adaptations, which extracted the lore of "League of Legends" and created a lifelike world with emotional depth.

Movie", which are praised for their faithfulness to the source material and entertaining storylines.

A handful of companies, including Coinbase Global and BitMine Immersion Technologies, are buying Ethereum (ETH-USD) as a way to gain exposure to the tech infrastructure behind decentralized finance and digital assets. Ethereum has surged 60% over the past month, and its utility is seen as a key factor in its adoption, with the ability to create tokens and communities. Companies like BitMine and SharpLink Gaming are raising capital to buy ETH, similar to how others have added Bitcoin to their balance sheets. However, the approach can be risky due to volatile prices, and not all companies see the same value in Ethereum as they do in Bitcoin. Experts view this movement as an adjacent strategy, with companies capitalizing on real-world asset trends, rather than Ethereum replacing Bitcoin as the investment of choice.

A method called "shunt modding" allows laptops with discrete Nvidia RTX graphics cards to run at higher power inputs, boosting performance. This complex process involves soldering on the GPU and modifying firmware, increasing power input from 150-175 watts to up to 250 watts. Results show a 41% increase in 3DMark Steel Nomad benchmark and over 20% improvement in Cyberpunk 2077. However, this modification is extremely dangerous and can void warranties, with risks of damaging the laptop. Experts recommend that Nvidia increase power limits to utilize the latest thermal management tech and deliver more performance.
