Reuters got some of the IPO docs. Anthropic is a total dog of a company. Spent $12.6bn to make $4.6bn in revenue in 2025, $7.33bn of which was compute costs. Operating loss of $8bn. Losses getting worse year over year. Amazing stuff www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Summary
Companies
• Anthropic IPO could value the company at more than $2
trillion
• Anthropic lost $42 billion in 2025
• Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year
• Operating loss widened to $8.06 billion in 2025 from $2.98 billion in 2024
• Execs, industry analysts have expressed concerns over harms of Al tech
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic is making a massive bet that Al will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
But the cost to get there will be staggering. Anthropic reported a net loss of $42 billion in 2025, and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing and infrastructure obligations in coming year, according to the
prospectus.

Never sell anyone out. In fact, if you're asked about banning 12-year-olds from softball, just say, "You're asking me to sell out kids for my political career. I'm not going to do that. Let's stop demonizing people in tougher circumstances than you or I will ever experience. They have guts."

While cattlemen are angry with the Trump administration, Democrats still have a long way to go to win the trust of rural ranchers.

"Politics has been frustrating," said northeast Iowa rancher Wayne Vorwald at a farm trade show in the state this month. "There are plenty of angry cattlemen around here." Nonetheless, Vorwald says that he can't bring himself to vote for a Democrat.

Quentin Dailey, a Lexington, Neb., cattle rancher, said his main fear is that if Democrats regain control of the Senate, Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, a vegan, will take over as chair of the Senate Agriculture Committee.

"That does not bode well for our industry," he said.

No one is arguing that theres a lot of terrible right wing voters! We're frustrated that those voters are for some reason the only ones Dem candidates seem interested in. For how much "the Left" is blamed for every loss, it sure seems like Dem candidates have calculated our votes are guaranteed.

MN voters: amending the state constitution requires a majority of voters to vote yes - abstaining from the school funding question on your ballot this year is effectively a no-vote. Please take a sec to get informed before you submit your ballot! www.lwvmn.org/2026-constit...

A portion of the MN official ballot that reads

Constitutional Amendments
Failure to vote on a constitutional amendment will have the same effect as voting no on the amendment.
To vote for a proposed constitutional amendment, fill in the box next to the word "Yes" on that question. To vote against a proposed constitutional amendment, fill in the box next to the word "No" on that question.
Increasing funding to school districts
Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to increase the funding going to all school districts from the permanent school fund, which is a fund that supports school districts without raising individual income or property taxes, effective July 1, 2027?

(This is a photo of my ballot where I have selected yes)

All of the laws that target trans people for punishment, demonization, and deny them basic rights can (and will be) applied to the rest of us. Once there's exceptions to rights, we don't have rights anymore, just privileges. And those privileges will exist at the whim of the authoritarian government

If they deserve to be impeached — and so many of them do — then the House should impeach them. Maybe the Senate won‘t convict but it’s still worth the effort to remind people that laws still exist and that Democrats still defend it. Also, as noted here, make ‘em sweat.

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

Its worth keeping in mind that the reason FDR implemented so many social welfare policies was to preempt and defuse leftist parties The US then spent close to a century brutally beating and assassinating anyone who threatened to create a strong united Left.
