I treat this as a sign of the inevitable terminal phase of any private cooperation in US: they start to invest their resources to stretch into areas that are essentially irrelevant to their core mission, but they have to because of their core mission is accomplished already, and their business, which is built on top of the fruits of their core mission, needs protection beyond direct means relevant to their core mission.

When pursing a core mission, many corps fail, either because lack of resources, or mission itself is not meaningful, execution failure, etc.; they might be in growth, while their mission keeps self-reinforce into bigger and bigger mission, that's the wonderful time of meaningful growth.

When the core mission is done. The corp needs to reset. Either they get profit that is small enough that they normal corperate logic prevail, and they behave normally.

But when the core mission is so meaningful that the corp reaps so large a profit that they themselves atrack enough stakeholders that they no longer focus on core mission, they start to focus on profit.

That's how NVDA is now buying assets across the whole stack of AI, while still increase price to maintain its profit. NVDA wants to maximize profit.

The inherent flaw is that private corp in US system, has no meaningful end game when they are in this state of astronomical profit.
