if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult

The world where neoclouds run out of money and NVIDIA's revenues drop 90%, where hundreds of billions of hyperscaler revenue bookings evaporate, is at this point inevitable. The worst part of it was that the warning signs were always there. www.wheresyoured.at/credit-crunch/

Even if you think AI is the most wonderful, beautiful software tool ever imagined, there is no rational basis under which you can look at the current economic picture and say that everything will be fine.

The future I am talking about — one where most data center debt goes unpaid, where OpenAI and Anthropic fail to meet their obligations, and when AI GPU sales grind to a halt — involves Google, Microsoft and Amazon having catastrophic misses on their earnings expectations, and their future revenue growth stories collapsing, along with NVIDIA’s revenues dropping as much as 90% once the debt-backed AI capex boom ends. It involves CoreWeave, IREN, Nebius, and every other neocloud running out of money, fucking over investors in both their stock and debt some time in the next few years, with the underlying collateral made up of otherwise-useless data center construction and GPUs that will, at that point, be in a supply glut rivaling the Atari video game burial.

I must be clear that I only have to be half right for things to be extremely bad. NVIDIA’s revenue growth cannot be sustained without endless debt issuance at a time when issuing debt is incredibly expensive, all in pursuit of data center construction that takes years to complete for customers that may or may not exist when it does so.

Hyperscalers have no other hypergrowth ideas left — no new Google Search, Microsoft 365, or Facebook — to sell investors, and in pursuit of AI have become the most asset-burdened companies on the Fortune 500, rivaling ExxonMobil, Berkshire Hathaway and Chevron, except instead of oil and diverse stocks they have GPUs that only retain value during a hype cycle.

And there really is no hope for the $800 billion or so invested in AI startups in the last four years, as AI acquisitions are thin thanks to their high costs, miserable revenues and utter lack of intellectual property. I’m not sure venture capital — or anyone covering venture capital — has actually conceptualized how significant the losses may be, because I can see a world where virtually every AI investment goes to zero at a time when venture capital is facing an historic losing streak.

In fact, I’m not sure anyone is trying to conceptualize what actually happens once the bubble bursts, because doing so requires you to think not just in terms of wasted capital, but about hundreds of billions of dollars of unpaid loans, dead AI investments, half-finished data center projects, and a stock market where 24% of the S&P 500’s value comes from five companies with stock prices boosted by theoretical returns on AI investments that are mostly from OpenAI and Anthropic.

The fact we’re living in this bizarre juxtaposition of reality where we can run headlines about OpenAI-connected data centers never getting completed and its massive losses aside headlines about $50 trillion in data center construction by 2050 is a sign that nobody is taking the threat seriously enough.

I would love to say that I think I’m overreacting somehow, but I spend every single week running the numbers and actively looking for evidence that I’m wrong, mostly because the world, despite discussing the fragility of the AI bubble, doesn’t seem to want to think about it actually bursting.

I encourage you to do so, even if you’re pro-AI, even if you truly disagree with me, because this is extremely serious, and you can’t pay $1.3 trillion in commitments with hope. You can truly, madly love LLMs, you can name your dog Dario and your guinea pig Sam, I don’t care, but please, I’m begging you, stop making assumptions based on the best-case scenario, and start taking this seriously, because the consequences of me being right have global stakes.

I think it is evidence of how so much we have been made to think that gaining an audience is the goal of life in this attention-seeking economy that saying "a rapist shouldn't seek a public persona that is available for consumption" is taken as equivalent to saying they "can never rejoin society."

How many times must we say this? AI* software does not “go rogue” any more than your printer “got religion” when it stopped working Sunday. Software does not have intent or agency. People do. And this feels like some people might be exposed to liability. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/t...

Months before OpenAI’s artificial intelligence went rogue, two employees raised an alarm with top executives. They were ignored.

In emails, the employees said they worried that OpenAI’s newest artificial intelligence models were not being appropriately monitored during testing to gauge the technology’s sophistication and to secure the models, according to messages viewed by The New York Times.

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.
