this is a great point and to that end: why isn't Anthropic building a salesforce competitor or whatever? Surely they could with the magic of Claude Code based on all the crap I've read
Once again: if these LLMs could actually do all the things their owners claim, they wouldn’t be selling access. They would be building and selling all the things they claim their software can do.

Jensen Huang interview with Jim Cramer is one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard. Huang is gushing about OpenAI, constantly dodging the $100bn question, talking about how he loves them and there’s no drama, which he says twice, the last time to end the interview.

Listening to Satya Nadella speeches and slowly going insane
![Nadella is, at his core, a bullshit artist. Every speech that he gives meanders for what feels like days. When asked at the World Economic Forum what would seem obvious in a few years looking back at 2026 (a nonsense question asked by an imbecile), Nadella responded by saying, after several seconds of word salad thanking everybody for the opportunity to ramble:
“I think, when it comes to AI, the real question in front of all of us is, how do you ensure that the diffusion of AI happens, and happens fast. You have to have that line of how do the models, data and infrastructure spread more-evenly to create surplus everywhere if you sort of think about it. The way I come at this is not that, this has always been the arch of computation, you can sort of take it in the last 30 years, or the last 70 years, it’s always been about can you digitize artifacts about people, places and things, and then build analytical and predictive power, right, that’s what the mainframes did, that’s what the mini computer did, that’s what the [unintelligible] era did, that’s what the web era did, the mobile cloud era did.
It depends, in respect to which paradigm or platform it has been one continuous arch of “let’s make better sense of this world by reasoning about it in digital form,” because in some sense, once you have these artifacts in digital form, you can use a more malleable resource like software, which doesn’t have the same type of, I’ll call it “marginal cost economics” associated with it, that allows us to then build more insight and more capability. And in that context AI, I’ll say, is of the same class, at least, like the web and the internet or mobile or PC or the cloud or maybe even greater. And so to me, right now where we are, let’s take what just happened with software engineering, which is knowledge work, you can say it’s “elite” knowledge work. It started off, in fact my own belief in this generation of AI and its capability really got built up when I first saw Github …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreic5oila23hrfgseskz25uuxv7vd7l6c3v7se5ikfderbrikz6gbg4@jpeg)

TD Cowen’s Jerome Darling estimates that it costs $42m+ per megawatt to build a data center and Oracle wants to build 10GW of them. $50 billion on top of $56 billion already raised is not sufficient (needs $189bn+) to complete the 4.5GW to service OpenAI’s $300bn, 5-year-long deal.

Dear US Stock Holders: you should buy $20 billion of our stock so that we can capture $300 billion of revenue, we need at least $130 billion more to do this, and we’re raising this money so that one customer can pay us $300bn, which they will do by raising debt and equity.

So $20 billion of the shares that Oracle is selling are “at-the-money” share sales, literally meaning they are selling $20 billion of shares into the market. Appears that they will be new shares too, unless I’m mistaken?

![Oracle plans to raise up to $50 billion in debt and equity this year to fund its Al ambitions - On Sunday evening,
Oracle
ORCL $164.03 (-2.57%)
told investors just how much money it's going to
need to from them to fund its data center expansion efforts.
Management said it plans to raise $45 billion to $50 billion this calendar year, split roughly equally between debt and equity in a bid to maintain its investment grade rating.
The lion's share of the equity raise ($20 billion) will come from at at-the-money offering that enables the firm to opportunistically issue shares. This year's debt issuance will come in one fell swoop, per the company, and happen early in the year.

On the bright side, at least this is an answer. During the conference call that followed Q2 results in December, Oracle said that capex for the fiscal year would be $15 billion higher than previously anticipated. When asked how much money the company would need to raise, CEO Clay Magouyrk said "it's hard to answer that question exactly," before saying he thought it would be "less, if not substantially less" than $100 billion in order to complete its multi-year Al buildout.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreie2bgqmlcerfp3clofb55cmustfa6cocs4mxtsi2v5fb6og5lbr6q@jpeg)
