Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.
We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Business Insider confirms it: Amazon has warehouses of GPUs that can’t be installed, and is buying them so far in advance that a supply chain team said they “didn’t have a clear forecasted path” to installing them. www.businessinsider.com/amazon-220-b...
Free newsletter: I estimate that ~50% of AI chip sales - $200bn to $300bn+ - are sitting in warehouses, with NVIDIA selling hundreds of billions of GPUs years in advance. Data centers take way longer to build than hyperscalers are leading us to believe. www.wheresyoured.at/wherere-all-the-ai-chips/

This sounds like something you’d preview before a financial report and defaulting on your hundreds of billions of dollars in compute commitments… @edzitron.com “Don’t worry we can cancel a bunch of our compute contracts, please think we’re still worth 2 trillion dollars”
AI models may soon self-replicate without access to data centers, Anthropic warns reut.rs/4dUgiXd

One or more human beings are responsible for the code they wrote, and those are the people who should be held accountable. These programs are not acting “on their own”

Seriously this is authoritarian propaganda on the level of Margaret Atwood.
Just when you think this administration has finally scraped the bottom of the barrel, they decide to live-stream Nidal Hasan’s execution by firing squad. We have a self-proclaimed “Christian” administration producing a snuff film, and they’ll probably sell merch too.

We believe the world should suffer for our shareholder value
Sam Altman: We believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology. I do think the lighter touch regulatory stance we advocate for comes with an accepting of the fact that some bad things are going to happen.

as a journalist and editor who has worked at several large publications, this policy is insane.
Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

This is a great example of one of the ways AI is actually going to endanger / kill huge numbers of people. Shitty chatbots cause their special sort of brain rot to the people who package intelligence for our shot-callers. They take the bad ideas from there. www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...

Not sure why this is the image that comes to mind reading @edzitron.com reporting on active deployments…
NVIDIA has sold about $535bn of gpus and associated gear (mostly GPUs) in the data center segment since the beginning of fy2023 (February 2022). If Microsoft only has 2gw or so, I think it’s unlikely anyone else is even close. Where are the GPUs?
The press release is “can you believe the creativity that our AI given infinite resources used to get around the bad guard rails we put up” The transcript tells of how much this resembles endless tokens typing out Shakespeare
It appears to me that the scenario they invented for this evaluation is explicitly designed to get it to do exactly this. They remove the instructions for the task to "protect the vendor" or something but it's pretty easy to reconstruct from the text.
