NEW: Peter Thiel has blinked. Yesterday, I posted an article about the "Great AI Bubble". And today, we find out that he's bailed on the market.

Has he cut & run? Or is this some 3-D chess-type voodoo? Thoughts please.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

🎤 Hearing statement | Ahmed AboFoul, Al-Haq: “Dutch weapons are being used to murder Palestinian people. I’ve lost 18 family members so far. By the end of this hearing, I can't be sure my family will still be the same as when we started. My government is using my tax money to murder my own family.”
