I don't think a lot of people realise how massive Powys is as a county - here is a comparison with the US state of Texas

None of this suggests the tech industry is in a healthy financial state... When the most cash generating businesses the world has ever seen can't sustain an investment from their own cash flow, you know they're stuffed...
🦔Meta wants to raise at least $20 billion in new bonds, in dollars and euros, with some running as long as 38 years. That comes a week after it announced plans to sell up to about $97.5 billion in new stock. Meta burned $2.12 billion in cash last quarter, and S&P moved its outlook to negative on Friday. Alphabet and Oracle went to the markets for money today too. My Take Selling bonds that run for decades to help pay for chips that wear out in five or six years is a strange match, and Meta will still owe on that debt long after today’s GPUs end up in a landfill. All that new stock dilutes everyone who already owns Meta, which includes most people with an index fund. Alphabet and Oracle doing the same thing on the same day makes me think Big Tech can’t fund this buildout from its own cash anymore. Hedgie🤗

A perfect example of why monopolies should be crushed out of existence.

Artificial Intelligence might make us more productive eventually, but right now it is a waste of time. Link below.

[inside fake bar inside of Stripe HQ] COLLISON: do you regret anything about how you developed ChatGPT? ALTMAN [sipping the single-most expensive IPA his assistant could find and wincing]: I think we need to find a way to punish our users somehow

Sam Altman thinks RAM sitting in personal computers is a waste when it could be put to better use in data centers. Weird. I was just thinking that all those billions sitting in billionaires’ bank accounts could be put to much better use in our communities.

Maybe shoving a bad product down everyone’s throat and trying to reorganize the economy around it was a bad idea?
$930,000,000,000 wiped out from the US stock market at open. Absolute Bloodbath.

Here’s another clip of a woman reading Trump’s words verbatim from a recent rally in Mississippi that puts a giant magnifying glass over how gone he is cognitively and unfit he is for office.

had to make this after what jon stewart said at the 41 minute mark
Joined Jon Stewart on @weeklyshowpod to talk about the AI bubble, the massive credit risk of AI data centers, Anthropic's S-1, and how American retail investors are massively exposed to the unwinding of the AI trade. youtube.com/watch?v=3sDzlv-V…

Ah man 😔
All at Huddersfield Town are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of lifelong supporter Sir Patrick Stewart. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this sad time. A titan of his craft and a legend and hero to millions worldwide, his legacy will live on. Fiercely proud of his Yorkshire roots, Sir Patrick was a Terrier in every sense, and we’re proud to have counted him as one of our own. Once a Terrier, always a Terrier 💙 #htafc

Dot Com Crash behavior all over again. If you believe $ANT only spent $9B to get that revenue you might as well buy its valuation at $4T

If you've got a pension - Try to move it to a fund that's got minimal stocks and bonds related to AI. (Just look at what's happening to the AI sector in China right now).

We should be rounding up every executive in the AI industry and trying them at The Hague
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes the world is entering a cybersecurity crisis and doesn't think he'll be able to prevent ChatGPT from helping cause it. "I no longer think we’re going to be able to just patch all the bugs."

56 million square feet of forest. There needs to be public beheadings.
JUST IN: Wolves are reportedly roaming into Finnish villages after Google cleared over 56 million square feet of forest for AI data centers.

Please understand that when schools push students and teachers to use AI, they are not just making everyone involved dumber, they are also doing this
Google did this to build a data center in Finland. It was illegal, but they did it anyway. Big Tech is out of control.

People are sick of speaking to robots & live chats when they have an issue. They wanna speak to a human. People who’ve lost thousands of pounds to scams don’t want the decision to be provided by a robot. Fuck Barclays and every single company who is going down this route

Hoping this AI Ponzi scheme collapses for good and people end up in jail.
JUST IN: Anthropic recorded a staggering $80,000,000,000.00 net loss in the first half of 2026.
