For the kids out there, calling a number for recorded information was common in the 90s I guess? Movie times was a big one. Where I was locally, multiple surf shops did 3-4x daily …

I'm fine if leaders talk about mission and vision as long as it's to inspire and not in lieu of money. The right amount of money is table stakes. The problems start when leaders be…

I agree with you mostly, and it’s important for everyone to understand. With that said, not everyone maximizes for only money.

Straight to unhinged speak is definitely refreshing /s

> OpenAI, even after raising this much capital, had never anticipated that something like this could happen yet keeps digging it's own grave. Hubris.

I'm not religious, but this quote often comes to mind in these situations, "he who is without sin, cast the first stone." Clearly everyone else is perfect, and only these authors h…

Thank you for your comments. In short, it's complicated. The other piece which you didn't mention that other people bring up is cutting off the 4B-8B in military aid to Israel. In …

Maybe I missed it, but did Walsh explicitly say it's tariffs and the war driving inflation? There's a reason Trump was fighting with Powell. https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/powe…

> the first to fall will probably be able to liquidate their gpus at a profit Meta and xAI announcing they are leasing out capacity is a version of this already happening.

They are slowly elastic. The only way to speed up the re-pricing is a recession where people lose their jobs and are forced to sell. Otherwise, it's mainly young people entering th…

Amazon had a close call around the .com crash as capital markets froze, but they were not going broke every year. They were purposely (and rather famously in business circles) inve…

1T is big in the absolute sense, but that's simply the scale these big tech companies operate at. Go back to 2024 or 2025 and you'll see as a group they are making a net income of …

Long game - lol. xAI lost/never gained traction. The talent all left, so Musk is trying to recoup some of the enormous investment in hardware.

To be fair to the judge we all had broken an ordinance about surfing in a certain area. It was enacted to protect swimmers in the summer. With that said, there was a storm with win…

I wouldn't really say SpaceX expanded its business. It was merged with a social network and AI firm to juice its IPO valuation. The SpaceX part of the business is interesting, but …

Remember this was also when SpaceX was actually about space, instead of mostly AI and Twitter. Long-term shareholders that were sold on the space, have to be thinking about how to …

The number of companies that default to using Teams shows why MSFT isn't going anywhere.

Not sure why you'd short Google. Their business was doing great pre-AI, and will likely do great regardless of what happens to AI. The rumors of their demise when AI hit the scene …

I don't know why you're downvoted. People act like lawyers do something magical, but if you have been around business contracts for 2+ decades you can certainly draft one and then …

At some point, humor is all that's left when we have this level of incompetence running the show.

I feel like I'm reading comments on LLMs writing code where they romanticize that programmers were perfect before LLMs. Doctors are not infallible. I know plenty of them and they a…
