Private equity gambles with your life savings. Private credit lends your life savings to said gamblers, so they can make bigger, more ruinous bets. And the AI data center debt market is the biggest, most ruinous of them all. www.wheresyoured.at/hatersguide-pe/

In November 2025, Goldman Sachs analysts eagerly reported that data center debt could create $5 billion to $11 billion in annual premiums over the next several years for those insuring the data centers themselves, including those in the construction phase.

Per management consultant group Oliver Wyman, “...private credit assets funded by insurers at the top seven listed private market players now account for 43% of credit assets held by these companies.” In fact, here’s a really worrying chart (that also includes data mentioned by Bloomberg):

That’s an absolute ass-ton of money.

Things get worse when you actually start looking at what data centers — and data center companies — these funds are involved in.

CoreWeave — a company that lost $452 million in its last quarter and can’t seem to get its Denton data center built — attributes most of its revenue to Microsoft (for OpenAI), Google (for OpenAI), and OpenAI itself, which has a $22.4 billion contract with net-360 payments.

OpenAI, as if you needed reminding, is deeply unprofitable, burning billions a year and promising to spend $600 billion in compute despite only having revenues of (if you believe them) $13.1 billion on losses of $8 billion.

Anyway, great news! A lot of pension and insurance money is flowing directly into CoreWeave. CoreWeave’s $2.3 billion debt facility was invested in (among others) by Blackstone’s Tactical Opportunities fund, which includes money from the California State Teachers’ Retirement System, The Teachers’ Retirement System of Louisiana, The State of Wisconsin’s Investment Board, and the Employees’ Retirement System of the State of Hawaii.

CoreWeave’s 2024 $7.5 billion debt package was referred to by Brad Marshall, Global Head of Private Credit Strategies at Blackstone, as “one of the largest private credit financings in history,” Blackstone’s Q2 2024 earnings call revealed that it was invested in by BXCI’s Infrastructure & Asset Based credit group, which was funded by — I shit you not — Corebridge, the company formerly known as AIG’s Life & Retirement division, along with several other life insurance companies.

Blue Owl — a Business Development Company that is already on shaky ground — has invested in just about every major data center related to OpenAI (and a few with CoreWeave), including Stargate Abilene, part of OpenAI’s $300 billion, 5-year-long deal with Oracle to rent capacity that is way behind schedule and that OpenAI can’t afford to pay for.

Great news! The funds for those data centers are, to quote Data Center Dynamics, from its digital in…

I fear that when the AI bubble pops, the contagion will be bigger and more damaging than I feared, scarring state pensions, state investment funds, and people's retirements. AI data centers are the subprime mortgages of private equity. PE loves them. www.wheresyoured.at/hatersguide-pe/

Private equity is incapable of adapting to a world where they can’t just brute force returns by buying shit, laying people off, and reselling it. Their lax standards and deep attachment to financial models disconnected from the rest of the world means that they can’t see that their business model is collapsing, and that viewing the world through spreadsheets that only optimize for eternal growth is becoming a losing position.

Private credit shares private equity’s lack of common sense and repulsive greed, which is why we’re only going to see more First Brands and Tricolors, and that’s before you get to what I believe will be many data center deals that were founded on flimsy economics and a poor understanding of technology and the world.

For private credit’s $200 billion in data center investments to make sense, they will need to successfully complete over 4.4 gigawatts of data center capacity. That capacity will need to be fully allocated, built on schedule, require no further capital to finish, and then have near-perpetual tenancy, otherwise these debt deals will go unpaid.

If these debt deals go unpaid, pensions will go unpaid, as will insurance policies.

This is the future great financial crisis. For me to be wrong, the AI bubble will have to conjure up roughly $63.8 billion of annual revenue — at around $14.5 million per megawatt per year — for any of this to make sense. And, to be clear, there was around $61 billion to $70 billion of revenue across every single AI company, infrastructure providers included, in 2025.

The demand doesn’t exist, and I don’t think private equity or private credit is ready for what happens when all of that goes unpaid. It’s easy to believe that the rich and powerful have a plan, but based on everything I’ve learned for this piece, I think private equity may be run by some of the least-thoughtful people to live on this planet.

And they absolutely don’t have a plan if they’re wrong.

Today is the Labour Party's birthday - 126 years since its founding as the Labour Representation Committee. It's also the first time since 1931 that Labour has not held the seat now covered by Gorton & Denton. Lost because of Ramsay MacDonald and lost because of Keir Starmer. Peas in a pod.

Before, Starmer makes claims about Labour's activist base being larger and more locally rooted than the Green's. He might want to check if those activists are where he left them. Because last I heard, he was loudly and proudly showing us the door, and many of us are now Greens.

Labour is dead, neither the members nor the MPs select candidates, just 12 people do. They can't remove their leader, and even when they do they will only be allowed to select a replacement that is exactly the same. The Party is dead, if you are on the Left it is time to leave

This is very odd framing from Starmer. Half of Labour's vote in Gorton and Denton just went to the Greens. Saying they've all been duped by extremists isn't going to help
