During jury selection, so many people filled out the questionnaire with a variation of, "It is my heartfelt belief that Elon Musk is a piece of shit," that the judge had to be like, "ok well just stipulate that nobody likes him but we trust them to be fair anyway"

Premium newsletter: The AI bubble is entirely circular, with 90% of revenues flowing through OpenAI and Anthropic. Outside of two companies, the majority of GPU customers need far fewer GPUs, meaning that the DeepSeek problem is industry-wide.

You can't "earn" a billion dollars and none of their examples did. Michael Jordan earned $93m playing basketball. He's worth $3.5b today because of our meticulously-engineered legal, economic, and tax structures that prioritize accumulated capital and property over everything else.

The Bezos Post is essentially becoming Jeff Bezos’ personal blog to whine about people who criticize the idle rich like him. A hit dog will holler. Imagine arguing that hoarding billions of dollars is the peak of “human potential” with a straight face.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has a low opinion of human potential.

My situation today is worse than before...

The bleeding has not stopped, and fatigue is increasing terribly 💔

Every moment that passes and I feel weaker,

I have not yet been able to reach a doctor because of my difficult circumstances...

You know what is fake, billionaires.

Show me one who invented, built or designed anything.

They don't, they just ripoff the people who do.

Tomorrow's Premium Newsletter: A much-demanded, 14k word guide as to how the AI bubble might burst, starting with the collapse of data center funding, venture capital for AI, OpenAI, and end NVIDIA's AI GPU era.

Here's $10 off annual.

The Chain of Pain While many people talk about how circular the AI bubble may or may not be, the reality is that it's far more like a chain - a deeply vulnerable one held together by debt and venture capital. A company buys GPUs from NVIDIA, at which point nobody is making any profit anymore. These GPUs are purchased, for the most part, using debt provided by banks or financial institutions. While hyperscalers fund GPUs using cashflow, even they have started to turn to debt. At that point, the company that bought the GPUs sinks hundreds of millions of dollars to build a data center, and once it turns on, provides compute to a model provider, who then begins losing money selling access to those GPUs. For example, both OpenAI and Anthropic lose billions of dollars, and rely on venture capital to fund their ability to continue paying for accessing those GPUs. At that point, OpenAI and Anthropic offer either subscriptions - which cost far more to offer than the revenue they provide - or API access to their models on a per-million-token basis. AI startups pay to access these models to run their services, which end up costing more than the revenue they make, which means they have to raise venture capital to continue paying to access those models. Outside of hyperscalers paying NVIDIA for GPUs out of cashflow, none of the AI industry is fueled by revenue. Every single part of the industry is fueled by some kind of subsidy. As a result, the AI bubble is really a stress test of the global venture capital, private equity, private credit, institutional and banking system, and its willingness to fund all of this forever, because there isn't a single generative AI company that's got a path to profitability. Our stock market is held up by NVIDIA's continued ability to sell GPUs, which is, for the most part, held up by its customers continued ability to raise debt, which is held up by its customers' ability to find other customers to pay to rent those GPUs, which is held up …

There is enough food for 3 months at the border. Israeli soldiers are holding it there while people starve to death. I never would have believed this would happen in my lifetime. I was raised to believe the lie that Western governments were a force for good. LIES.

If we said the same of Jews, there would be fucking uproar and arrests. The point is, we don't, because we're not monsters like this ugly sociopath cunt, or the millions who agree with him.
Fuck Israel.

“We will not allow a single gram of aid into the Gaza Strip until its people kneel and beg. Gaza must be levelled to the ground. There is no such thing as innocent people.”
