The Coast Guard said that, per Sail4th 250, no political messages were permitted, that the organizers asked them to be removed, and that Clearwater refused to take down the banners. Clearwater said they were never asked to take down the banners. Sail4th 250 said they did not ask them to leave.

“I was shouting at them, ‘Folks, we’re part of this parade,’ ” said Clearwater Executive Director David Toman from the deck of the sloop. “We’re part of this all.” Toman said crew members were not immediately told why they were being removed from the parade, and a quick call to organizers provided little clarity. “They told us they were unaware of this, and that the decision was being made above their heads,” said Toman. It was only later that someone from one of the Coast Guard vessels told Clearwater Captain Rory Kane that it was because of the ship’s banners, Toman said.

A Coast Guard representative told The Current that, “As part of the parade of sail, participants agreed to conditions established by Sail4th. One of those conditions was to not display political or politically charged messages/statements. The owner of the sloop Clearwater was contacted and requested to remove the message being displayed or be removed from the parade of sail. They declined to remove it. So, the Coast Guard enforced the agreement on behalf of Sail4th removing the vessel from the parade.”

But Jen Benson of Clearwater, who was on the sloop, said there was no communication from either Sail250 or the Coast Guard regarding the banners. “We were not given an option to remove the banners and continue in the parade,” she said.

Toman said that no such restrictions existed, only that ships were instructed not to carry banners that could be considered “promotional.”

This article is dogshit for many reasons, chief of them that it doesn’t ever actually discuss what AI does or why it’s such a big deal, just that it’s not just “predicting the next token.” Its only argument is that “the left” (which includes the New York Times!) should use AI for some reason.

Currently working on one of my favorite pieces ever: The Hater’s Guide To Oracle. This company is so stupid and Larry Ellison has bet the farm on OpenAI having $300 billion to give it over five years. Larry Ellison is H.R. Geiger’s Jerry Stiller and he’s rigged his company to blow

Did I mention that Oracle took on $56 billion of debt to build data centers specifically for OpenAl? Or that the banks who invested in these deals don't seem to be able to sell off the debt?
Let me put it really simply:
- Larry Ellison's wealth is almost entirely tied up in Oracle stock.
- Oracle's stock is tied to the company "Oracle," which is currently destroying its margins and annihilating its available cash to buy GPUs to serve a customer that cannot afford to pay it.
- Oracle has taken on ruinous debt that can only be paid if this customer, that cannot afford it and needs to raise money from an already-depleted venture capital pool, actually pays it.
Oracle's stock has already been punished for these debts, and that's before OpenAl fails to pay for its contract.
- Oracle now owns part of one of its largest cloud customers - TikTok - that loses billions of dollars a year, and the US entity says, per Bloomberg, that it will "retrain, test and update the content recommendation algorithm on US user data," guaranteeing that they'll fuck up whatever makes it useful, reducing its efficacy for advertisers.
Larry Ellison's entire financial future is based on whether OpenAl lives or dies. If it dies, there isn't another entity in the universe that can actually afford (or has interest in) the scale of the compute Oracle is building.
We are setting up for a very funny and chaotic situation where Oracle simply runs out of money, and in the process blows up Larry Ellison's fortune. However much influence Ellison might have with the administration, Oracle has burdened itself with debt and $248 billion in data center lease obligations - costs that are inevitable, and are already crushing the life out of the company (and the stock).
The only way out is if OpenAl becomes literally the most-successful cash-generating company of all time within the next two years, and that's being generous. This is not a joke. This is not an understatement. Sam Altman holds Larry Ellison's futur…
