What is the connection between San Francisco and shovels?
During the “Gold Rush” era (Wild West 1800s), there were plenty of people descending onto California to try and make their fortunes by staking out land to mine and pan for gold.
However, the first millionaire wasn’t anyone who got lucky staking out a mine. It was the largest store owner in the area selling all these prospective miners their shovels to dig with.
Said first millionaire: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Brannan
It’s quite wild. He’s also considered the first to publicize that there is a gold rush, much like these modern AI companies hype up their products to no end.
The actual store owner is nvidia and they make filthy money right now
Boy, I can’t wait to big two 5090s so I can play Starfield and make that black guy white with postprocessing.

That was 200 years ago, though… Is it still some viral local joke?

It’s a metaphor being applied to AI.
