Pretty much. As of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn’t have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers. SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, but we’re investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue. That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation. Some will make it through, but not many.

I’ve worked as a janitor in a massive Fortune 500 company’s headquarters for the last 25 years (nepo hire). For the first ten years I worked at the company the men’s room was always clean and easy to maintain. Worst you would get is maybe a couple of drops of piss dribble in front of the urinals from careless shakes, some shit stains in the bowls from greasy shits on the IT floor when they had been pulling all nighters and living off pizza, or soap in the counter when someone got overenthusiastic with the pump. The women’s bathroom was always the bane of my existence because they would flush sanitary products, cause plugs, and would continue to use the plugged toilet until a mountain of shit and piss formed. That began to change about a decade ago when an Indian guy got hired in C suite, and slowly we started getting Indian managers on all floors. It started with unflushed shitters, but as more and more of them came in it steadily got worse. What used to be a gross, but ultimately low stress reasonably paying job has become a nightmare. The IT floor is the absolute worst. They will not sit on the toilet and instead stand on the seat to squat. They frequently have explosive diarrhea, which, combined with their habit of squatting, means shit splatters on the seat, floors, and walls. They do not even attempt to clean the mess they made which means the next guy to stand and squat ends up stepping in their assblast and tracking it all over the floor when he walks out of the stall. They wipe with their hands and not the provided paper, I know this because finding shit covered handprints sliding down the walls of the stall is now a daily occurrence. For some reason, despite not washing their hands near as I can tell, they frequently break open the soap dispenser and steal the giant bags of soap they are connected to. My team and I are the only non-IT employees who will enter the IT floor now, and the turnover is so high that I can’t get a single FNG to stay more than a month. I am considering leaving myself after a quarter century and my entire employment history being with this one company. I am in hell and it smells like feces & microwaved curry.
