35% of the value of the US stock market is the mag7, 19% of that is NVIDIA, and *42% OF NVIDIA'S REVENUE IS THE MAG7 BUYING GPUs*. Our god damn economy is supported by whether five companies buy more GPUs every quarter! This is insane! www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-gui/
www.wheresyoured.at/the-haters-gui/But Ed, They Said Something About Points of Growth-

Silence!

Any of these companies talking about "growth from AI" or "the jobs that AI will replace" or "how AI has changed their organization" are hand-waving to avoid telling you how much money these services are actually making them. If they were making good money and experiencing real growth as a result of these services, they wouldn't shut the fuck up about it! They'd be in your ear and up your ass hooting about how much cash they were rolling in!

And they're not, because they aren't rolling in cash, and are in fact blowing nearly a hundred billion dollars each to build massive, power-hungry, costly data centers for no real reason.

Don’t watch the mouth — watch the hands. These companies are going to say they’re seeing growth from AI, but unless they actually show you the growth and enumerate it, they are hand-waving.

"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."

The United States Is About to Embark on a Terrifying Experiment in Mass Statelessness
This scenario, until recently, might have read like a dystopian projection. But after the court’s decision on Friday, it is no longer hypothetical.

Israel murdered this beautiful soul. Remember Fatima Hassona. Watch and spread the film "Put your soul on your hand and walk". And never stop fighting the mass murdering death machine that is the Israeli state. She was 25.

After the apocalypse, there might come a slow blackout—less bang, more whimper. Routers die. Servers take their last breath. Phones crap out. Nothing works. Except Collapse OS, the operating system for the end of the world.

Once the grid goes down, an old programming language called Forth—and a new operating system called Collapse OS—may be our only salvation.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

You delight,

So it would seem,

At making mince- meat of my dream.

If you keep on,

Before you’re through,

I’ll make mince- meat

Weird feeling the next six
months are going to be like
the start of the pandemic
where my phone tells me the
world is ending but I walk
outside and it seems fine.
Then less fine. Then the
world is ending. Then people
are in the streets. Then the
streets are on fire. Then the
helicopters show up. Then
everyone in power decides
the people were wrong and
the helicopters were right.
