If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

the plaintiffs allege: 1. Meta intentionally designed its youth safety features to be ineffective and rarely used, and blocked testing of safety features that it feared might be harmful to growth. 2. Meta required users to be caught 17 times attempting to traffic people for sex before it would remove them from its platform, which a document described as "a very, very, very high strike threshold." 3. Meta recognized that optimizing its products to increase teen engagement resulted in serving them more harmful content, but did so anyway. 4. Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act. 5. In a text message in 2021, Mark Zuckerberg said that he wouldn't say that child safety was his top concern "when I have a number of other areas I'm more focused on like building the metaverse." Zuckerberg also shot down or ignored requests by Nick Clegg, Meta's then-head of global public policy, to better fund child safety work.

Instagram’s former head of safety and well-being Vaishnavi Jayakumar testified the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the trafficking of humans for sex.

“You could incur 16 violations and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended"

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world

Monday Premium: The 12.7k word Hater's Guide To NVIDIA: how it makes money, how millions of GPUs are likely sitting uninstalled, and how its entire future relies on companies raising hundreds of billions in debt.

Here's $10 off annual.
edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...
NVIDIA's Future Success Is Predicated On The Ability For Everybody To Keep Feeding It Tens Of Billions Of Dollars Every Quarter, Requiring Endless Debt, Space, and Actual AI Demand To Exist Here are some thoughts I have had: A 25MW data center takes about $1 billion, with $600 million of that being GPUs - 200 GB200 racks, to be specific. It needs about 20 acres - 100,000 square feet for the data center, roughly. NVIDIA sells about $50 billion of GPUs and associated hardware in a quarter, so let's say that $40 billion of that is just the GPUs and $10 billion is the hardware, so around 13,333 GB200 racks. I realize that NVIDIA sells far more than that (GB300 racks, singular GPUs, and so on). Deep-pocketed hyperscalers like Microsoft, Google, Meta and Amazon representing 41.32% of NVIDIA's revenue in the middle of 2025, funneling free cash flow directly into Jensen Huang's pockets... ...for now. Amazon ($15 billion), Google ($25 billion), Meta ($30 billion) and Oracle ($18 billion) have all had to raise massive amounts of debt to continue to fund AI-focused capital expenditures, with more than half of that (per Rubenstein) spent on GPUs. Otherwise, basically anybody buying GPUs at any scale has to fund doing so with either venture capital (money raised in exchange for part of the company) or debt. NVIDIA, at this point, around 8% of the value of the S&P 500 (the 500 leading (meaning they meet certain criteria of size, liquidity (cash availability) and profitability) companies on the US stock market). Its continued health - and representative value as a stock, which is not necessarily based on its actual numbers or health, but in this case kind of is? - has led the stock market to remarkable gains. It is not enough for NVIDIA to simply be a profitable company. It must continue beating the last quarter's revenue, again and again and again and again, forever. If that sounds dramatic, I assure you it is the truth. NVIDIA's continued success - and ability to continue delivering outsized beats of Wall Street's revenue estimates - depends on: The willingness of a few very large, cash-rich companies (Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Google) to continue buying successive generations of NVIDIA GPUs. The ability of said companies to continue buying successive generations of GPUs. The ability of other, less-cash-rich companies like Oracle to continue being able to raise debt to buy massive amounts of GPUs - such as the $40 billion of GPUs that Oracle is buying for Stargate Abilene. This is becoming a problem. The ability of unprofitable, debt-ridden companies like CoreWeave, AI "neoclouds" that use the GPUs they purchase from NVIDIA as collateral for loans to buy more GPUs, to to continue raising that debt to buy more GPUs. The ability of anybody who buys these GPUs to actually install them and use them, which requires massive amounts of construction...and more power than is currently available, even to the most well-funded and conspicuous projects. In simple terms, for the debt markets to continue propping up its revenues, because there is not really enough free cash in the world to continue pumping it into NVIDIA at this rate. And after all of this, Large Language Models, the only way to make any money on any of these GPUs, must prove they can actually produce a profit. Per my article from September, I can find no compelling evidence (outside of boosters speciously claiming otherwise) that it's profitable to sell access to GPUs. Based on my calculations, there's likely little more than $61 billion of actual AI revenue in 2025 across every single AI company and hyperscaler. Note that I said "revenue." Absolutely nobody is making a profit. The NVIDIA situation is one of the most insane things I've seen in my life. The single-largest, single-most-valuable, single-most-profitable company on the stock market has got there through selling ultra-expensive hardware that takes hundreds of millio…

NVIDIA earnings were a mirage. The market figured it out surprisingly fast. NVIDIA bump evaporated.

I don’t know how this information can enter the system without exploding the bubble.

But sometimes bezzles visible for months before crash.
