    The issue with lies, and any good liar will tell you that, is that once you lie you need to maintain that lie forever. You keep adding new lies, new layers, new context, and this house of cards becomes more and more convoluted, large, and fragile. It takes one piece to fall for everything to come down, yet, because everything is a chain of lies, you can’t stop.

    So imagine what happens when you take the most valuable GPU company and go all in on AI, creating insane investments into everything that happens to use those two letters, purposely entering into circles where one company invests into another that invests back into the same company.

    You can’t get out, you’re too far deep into the web of lies. You are so deep you must convince yourself with your own lies, because you added so many and everything is so fragile that your own mind is now an obstacle.

    Good fucking luck when it crashes down.

      Can confirm. As far as my mom in 1998 knew, I didn’t have access to the internet. I needed the password to go on her Earthlink 56k internet account.

      I’m 42 now, and my mom STILL thinks I never knew her password.

      I’m 42 years old, and still remember it, because of how many times 15 year old me typed that in.

      I guess I don’t need to “maintain” that lie anymore. I can’t imagine a scenario where my 70+ year old mother will ask me about that exact situation, or why it would matter today.
