"Facebook had to borrow $100 billion the other day in order to finance the investment in data centres. And what they’ve tried to do is shift that off balance sheet, so that we don’t see that […] they’ve now run out of cash and they’re borrowing money. And that’s a sure sign that…

"80% of costs removed... in a week" says Palantir CEO from Davos, the epicentre of truth and integrity, and definitely not a place where gigantic lies are peddled by gigantic liars.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp at the World Economic Forum in Davos: “With a lot of our companies, we can take out up to 80% of your costs, and improve your top line dramatically.” “5 years ago, that would take us a year. Now it could take a week.”

A rough diamond in a sea of shit, @edzitron 's patient unpacking of start ups, financing, growth-at-all-cost and the dumpster fire that is AI is an astonishing antidote. Many thanks Ed.

The scientist-doctors in the background are so hilarious. Somehow I doubt they’re much interested in the now extremely robust cannabis-psychosis link. Expect more random schizo murders that raise the racial temperature in the US. 🇺🇸🎢

Calling for pics and proof of Nvidia GPUs being warehoused in mass quantities In the US but also overseas. Some have reached out to me already. And it is getting interesting. But I need more.

And now we know... For all the talk of massive value creation through operational efficiency, LLM's are really just fancy search engines (but with way higher infrastructure costs that noone wants to pay for).

What's funny is that anyone ever thought "shopping agents" would be anything but advertising - glorified merchandising channels open to the highest bidder.

This is like Godwin's law for AI IRR: as monetization attempts grow, the probability of just using AI for ads approaches one. WALMART IS EXPLORING ADDING ADS TO ITS “SPARKY” AI SHOPPING AGENT — WSJ
