NVDA, ORCL, Broadcom, AMD are all down since Oct. 1st though.
Intel is the one that matches the anime's timing the most out of all of them so I chose it as more of an amusement. But the CRWV meltdown started in Oct. 1st, which caused people to start to question the AI Trade. That's caused most tech stocks (at least, those heavily invested into AI) to decline... at the same time as this anime's release.
