Do you get a token trophy for a few (many) trillion tokens purchased in distilation?

arr me matey

it is very hard to prove the culpability of a CEO for anything bad

it is very easy to prove to the CEO earned the credit for all things good

We seen this playbook before and should skip all the intermediate steps that took half a decade and just get to the trillion dollar settlement and legislation.

More Doctors eat Ultra-processed Food than any other Food.

But speaking as top talent, the quality gap between an average hire and me is night and day. I'm worth it.

20B sounds cheap.

The bubble can't pop soon enough.

I am not ready for a new hype cycle based on whatever the imagineers come up with next.

Will someone please get these bots some NFTs

A quick scan of the company liquidation & accounts - they wrapped up with fixed assets of £4,000 (2 laptops?) and £300,000 in cash. So they only burnt through £400k in the year.

They do say fail fast.

Will Ford or Tesla start offering German cars?

Do you think there could exist a situation in the market where either Ford or Tesla will offer BMWs or Mercedes to their clients?

Burning a million dollars isn't cool. You know what is? Burning a billion dollars.

"Fixing" the UK housing market from the US seems ... suboptimal.

Between May 2023 and March 2025, Tract attempted to build a venture-backed company to address Britain’s housing crisis by improving the planning permission process. After raising a £744,000 pre-seed round in April 2024, we explored several business models: a site-sourcing tool for developers (Tract Source), a free land-appraisal tool for landowners (Attract), becoming tech-enabled land promoters ourselves, and finally, an AI-powered platform to assist with drafting planning documents (Tract Editor).

11 months, 4 pivots (of course one was to Ai) and a cash burn of ~£70,000 per month (approx $100,000) - if you can give me the details of the mark they got £744,000 from, I have a bridge to sell them.

Take what you have learnt from a layoff (assuming it is your first time) - we are all one big happy family in it together till we are not, then we are all mercenaries and it is onto the next master. Time to get back in the game.

From the "Read Next" section: SoftBank's Son says calling AI a bubble is 'blasphemy'

Softbank always has their finger on the hype pulse ...

I will go against the grain of everyone else - be a hype beast, every crash I have seen they make more and get better jobs on the flip side. Counter Oracle at a higher salary and ask about bonus guarantees for when this all goes to the moon (you have to really really appear to believe).

they should bring back the listicle - it was more honest than the pretend investigation format

Heads I win, tails you lose.

tbh this is only novel for the tech companies because they have never really had these types of product lines or unit cost structures before. a sass and brick and motor retailer scale very differently.

this crowd

These companies are tech bros - they are selling to the authoritarians and they are increasingly their enablers, funders and biggest sycophants.

This is what happens in the physical world... Apparently there is a "Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU)" at City of London Police that kick in doors.

"Across Europe I fear free speech is in retreat"

You could join lots of these together, put them onto a pair of parallel metal beams and move them between major hubs.

The price increases will continue until morale improves.

People are yet to realise that the "tech bro" genome isn't different from the "finance bro" genome.

By literal order of magnitude

They should have accepted the November 2025 prices - 50% higher than the mid 2025 price but half the prices they paid.

Given their choice not to hedge memory prices early for the steam machine, I am not sure they have a great track record when it comes to predicting which way the prices will be going.

then you miss Enterprise management features

On the flip side you gain $9,800 a month.

I'll tell you what, that crack is really moreish.
