These ads go in the same category as brazen, easily disproven lies after ICE killings. It’s not about persuasion. It’s a display of power. They could have passed them off as PAC-funded. They added “paid for by the U.S. government” because they want us to know they can break the law with impunity.

But We Mustn't Ruin HIS Life By me and @postcardsbybecky.bsky.social Read more cartoons! —> #Policartoon Support the cartoons! —>patreon.com/barry
Four-panel cartoon with a tiny kicker panel below.

PANEL 1. A Black delivery worker stands beside her van, holding a package. She looks downcast.

WOMAN: Everywhere I went I was terrified I’d run into **him**. I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t concentrate…  
WOMAN: After I failed two classes I lost my scholarship.

PANEL 2. A girl in pink sits on a bicycle on a residential street, looking down.

GIRL: He sent the video to everyone in school. **Everyone**. I had to be homeschooled until I could get into a different school.

PANEL 3. A woman sits in an apartment armchair, holding a baby who pats her face. She looks sad.

WOMAN: It’s been ten years… My therapist says PTSD isn’t ever cured, but it’s something I can learn to manage.

PANEL 4. A hand holds a phone showing a male podcaster at a microphone.

MAN: Nobody feels worse than me about what happened — but we can’t ruin these young men’s lives!

KICKER. The podcaster speaks with Barry, the cartoonist.

BARRY: What sort of thing would “ruin their lives”?  
MAN: Being expelled. Or being publicly criticized. Or made to switch dorms. Or to switch a class. Basically, anything he might notice.

Let’s be real they’re using “furry” as a visibly queer subculture as a stand-in for queerness at large. Their goal has been to remove queer people from public life, and they’re testing different vectors to do so. Hence the all caps “MENTALLY ILL,” which is how they want to reclassify all queers

Put into perspective, that would mean the total value of all the "AI" GPUs sitting in storage and likely never to be used to is almost three times as much revenue as Nvidia earned between 2010 and 2020 (around $70 billion). Y'know. Back when we could still afford a gaming card to play Skyrim.

Anthropic's numbers are as bad as my worst expectations, and it's impossible to see how it manages to make good on its spending commitments. OpenAI and Anthropic are toxic companies with rotten economics, and should not be allowed to go public. www.wheresyoured.at/dead-money/
In any case, these numbers are as bad as I’ve always thought they’d be, if not a little worse. I don’t see how this company becomes one that can afford its $518 billion in compute commitments, nor do I see how it magically works its way out of the economic equivalent of septic tank. 

This company will, if allowed to go public, likely lean on the very same junk-grade/high-yield debt that AI data centers and neoclouds like CoreWeave currently need, and it will do so at volumes of somewhere between $50 billion and $100 billion a year for a company with few assets, endless losses and a CEO with the grace of a drunk elephant. 

Anthropic is not the future of technology, nor is it the next Google, nor is it the next Microsoft, nor is it, to quote Reuters, capable of “[transforming] the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet.” It is impossible to rationally argue that the economics of OpenAI and Anthropic make any real sense. To claim that this is “just like Uber” or “just like Amazon Web Services” or “just like the Dot Com Bubble” is to bury one’s head in the sand or, on some level, want to know less about the world. This is serious, dangerous, and should not be seen as “business as usual.”

We must treat OpenAI and Anthropic as what they are: economic disasters waiting to happen. 

To do anything less is to directly invite danger to the door of every investor that’s allowed to believe that they’re funding the next industrial revolution.
