Could be. But it doesn't seem like as good a bet as those Nvidia shares over the same period.
OTOH in business there's talk and there's action. Quite often the two will diverge greatly. Could be they are trying to avoid popping the bubble themselves until they can dump as many of their other AI holdings as possible.
Wild theory: They figure dumping Nvidia first won't pop the bubble. Yet.
Of course the above is contingent on them continuing to divest from AI stocks. If it turns out they *are* pumping that Nvidia money into OpenAI and the like as the article states? Then I have no idea what Softbank is up to.
Unless they know something about Nvidia no one else does. But Nvidia is the linchpin of the entire AI bubble, if it goes none of the rest will be worth a pin. So that doesn't make sense either.
This is VERY interesting. It seems Asian investors have been buying Softbank shares precisely because those Nvidia shares (and other #AI holdings) were making Softbank into a Japanese proxy for USA AI companies.
Then in the last week or so Softbank's value has plummeted (more than 10%) because precisely because Asian investors were fleeing AI stocks.
So this move means Softbank itself is divesting from AI, both to cash out and to protect it's own share prices.
The USA #economy has so far avoided a recession, despite earlier warnings. Reasons why include continued robust consumer spending and the #AI #bubble.
But, and you knew I'd have a 'but' right? But, we are approaching a point where several of these factors could collapse close to each other:
1. Farming: Immigration restrictions affecting labor availability and tariff wars cutting off entire markets; it comes to a head with the fall harvests

Those scripts aren't for people who don't code. They are, as I said, 'quick and dirty' and in order to use them properly you'll probably need to modify them slightly for your particular use case.
But I'm happy if people do find them useful.
Years ago I used to keep personal notes in a huge #TiddlyWiki file, along with other TiddlyWiki files for projects and things. When I started using #Obsidian I didn't want to have to cut and paste between the two notebooks, so I wrote a couple of quick and dirty #Python scripts to automate the process.
These are useful to anyone who wants to cleanly export TiddlyWiki #data.
I had them in a Github gist, but today I added them to my Codeberg gists here:

I'm not disagreeing, but feel I should point out message boards require moderation and policies; same as any social media.
Meaning they can work when run by dedicated volunteers, but for-profit companies see them as cost-centers and eventually shut them down after they first cut moderation headcount and then let them turn into sewers.

Lemmy is probably the closest Fediverse version of a message board. You might want to look at it.
