One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

I do think they probably ran his texts through an LLM and it hallucinated crimes. That’s scary and bad and it’s funny they got caught, but imagine how many other times this happens on a day to day basis against people with no rights, let alone the ability to publicly humiliate the AI prosecutor.

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.

The AI bubble bursts when the money runs out. That could be when AI startups and model labs can't raise like they used to, or AI data center developers balk at 11% interest on their debt. Or, perhaps, the growth just slows and the party ends. www.wheresyoured.at/dead-money/
Every single day — even on the weekends — someone asks me either how or when all of this breaks, and my answer is simple: when the money runs out.

Eventually, AI data center debt is going to become untenable for those raising it, because 11%+ rates on already-meager margins makes the maths a little impossible. Once this happens, there will be a fundamental reevaluation of the value of all AI data center debt, which may lead to a sell-off of the underlying bonds and associated debt, which will make any investor deeply entrenched in the GPU credit business extremely nervous and, in some cases, unable to exit their positions in anything short of an embarrassing fashion.

This isn’t likely to happen due to moral or ethical reasons, but as a result of creditors realizing that they’ve got way too much risk tied up in projects that regularly make the news for not getting built. At some point these projects become too risky for even the most mold-poisoned private credit fund or brainless Japanese bank to stomach, and the timeline will accelerate based on either Treasury rates or further data center developments facing cashflow or construction problems.On the venture capital side, it’s unclear how much dry powder actually remains, how much of it could be deployed into AI startups, and whether it’ll be a case of ‘running out of money’ so much as a moment where everybody gets spooked about AI and stops investing entirely. This would be accelerated by any cashflow issues across any major AI startups, any downrounds (IE: raising at a lower valuation), or failed acquisitions, such as when Anthropic walked away from buying Decart for $6 billion earlier in September.

And really, the biggest sign is the most obvious one — the deceleration of Anthropic and OpenAI. If they aren’t going to pay those $1.3 trillion in compute bills, the jig is up for AI data center demand.

The signs are already there that something is up.

Per Irrational Analysis, Anthropic’s record-breaking “$65 billion in annualized revenue run rate” from July 2026 may have been calculated in the single-most-deceptive way I’ve ever heard a startup do so:

Last month, there was a whole kerfuffel in AI/semis/finance circles on Anthropic July ARR. Two numbers were going around. I don’t remember the numbers and frankly it does not matter. You will see.

One ARR number was the traditional “trailing 28 days * 13” number. Personally I hate this venture-capital clown metric but whatever a lot of people use this.

The traditional ARR number was bad and implied deceleration in growth. So the people massively long Anthropic came up with a new ARR number that was July 31st * 365 days.
That’s right folks. If Irrational Analysis is right, Anthropic’s revenue on July 31, 2026 was $178 million, and because the other calculation — 28 days times 13 — created a lower number, the company chose to go with something that should, at a minimum, have investors hiring lawyers and demanding real, tangible answers about how run rate is calculated. Every single reporter with any Anthropic source that can speak to run rates should be screaming at them for clarity, because this is some sub-Enron bullshit.Even if you don’t trust that analysis, another from TickerTrends surfaced by Callum Williams of The Economist shows Anthropic’s annualized run rate plateauing since, it seems, the beginning of June, and as Williams said, if this is even broadly correct, it’s really, really bad.


Williams also another TickerTrends chart showing OpenAI’s revenue growth had continued to climb…but was showing the initial signs of a slowdown.


Neither of these companies can afford to slow down, in part because of their massive compute obligations, and in part because their massive valuations are based on them being able to pull in, at least in Anthropic’s case, between $190 billion and $200 billion in annual revenue within the next two years.

I'm categorized as an AI subscriber, because I'm subscribed to the 3 TB tier of Google Drive and and they literally just changed the name of the plan to "Google AI Plus." Those "AI subscriber" numbers are 100 percent juiced and phony, and you're a sucker if you believe otherwise.

My favorite part of this story—which calls into question whether or not a paper can objectively cover a mega-corporation it is partnered with—is how a rep from Meta contact one the journalists of this piece several times to request that they include favorable coverage of Meta.
He then texted, four times, pushing for this story to include favorable depictions of the Meta data center. 

“Can you confirm you’ll note some of these positives in the piece?” Stone texted shortly after sending the brief statement.

The Meta executive then called the reporter and, for about five minutes, continued to push for positive coverage of Meta within this story on the company’s influence on news coverage.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.

It's neat to see the roots of old school TTRPGs still expressing themselves in JRPGs today. Namely the ceaseless stream of people deciding that core mechanics of the genre shouldn't exist because they think the highest aspiration of everything that exists is to suit their personal taste.

The trans women in sports panic has got to be one of the GOP's most successful manufactured culture war campaigns. Somehow they got a lot of people who would otherwise say they support trans rights to somehow fear "fairness" in sports. It's a non-issue.

What's happening is that Republicans are priming Democrats and Democratic voters for more violent forms of transphobia. They're manipulating people into caring about something that is most likely never going to affect them.
