About the worst possible environment for a data center company to go public in. Only reason you do this is exit liquidity for investors

Nscale is seeking to raise up to $3 billion in an initial public offering as soon as this month, just as investors are growing increasingly wary of the risks of this Al buildout. Another prominent neocloud, CoreWeave Inc., saw its shares tumble 15% on Wednesday and the cost of protecting its debt against default soar to a record on Thursday, with swaps pricing in a more than 60% chance of default within the next five years. Last week, an Australian data center firm abandoned plans for its IPO after would-be investors turned skittish. Nscale will need to persuade investors that it has a more promising business model and reassure them of its ability to deliver data centers smoothly, despite challenges in places like Glomfjord.

Investors are losing confidence that revenues from the AI boom can support the vast debt piles financing data centres, driving down the price of bonds backing some of the largest US projects. “Data centre bonds are having their Darwin moment,” said one CIO. Read the story 👉 ft.trib.al/j6Rchmr

Line chart showing falling bond prices for six major US data centre projects between January and October. All six decline, with bonds linked to Microsoft’s Georgia campus falling furthest, to about 87 cents on the dollar. Bonds linked to Meta, Oracle and Hut 8 projects also drop, ending between roughly 89 and 98 cents on the dollar.

The best argument for leaving Twitter has less to do with giving oxygen to a Nazi platform than what spending a lot of time on such a platform does to our brains. It’s easy to see how many once normal people on there, right or left, have truly lost themselves in conspiracy theories and false facts.

Currently, a diagram is making the rounds that is claimed to show a significant reduction in Russian disinformation bot activity after Ukrainian drones hit Yandex data centers. There is no evidence that this plot shows real data. I suspect that this image is AI-generated.

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

University of Exeter, Jan 2025 report for actuaries on potential climate change impacts at 1.5 C rise, 2.0-3.0 (anticipated rise), and above 3.0 C by 2050. I have the PDF if anyone wants it.

table showing impacts in human lives and GDP losses at varying temp rises. We are already on a 2.0 trajectory for the next 20 years; there's increasing evidence 1.5 C temp rise is unlikely containment, and 1.5 C in this table is termed "severe". 2.0 C could put us in the 800m - 2 billion deaths ("Catastrophic"). 3C by 2050 suggests 4 billion deaths ("Extreme").
