39·2 days agoOpenAI has made about $1.4 trillion in commitments to procure both the energy and compute it needs to fuel its operations. But its revenue barely crossed $20 billion in 2025.
Investors are increasingly critical of what they describe as “circular” deals involving the industry’s biggest players. On Wednesday evening, The Information reported that OpenAI is seeking a fresh $60 billion in funding from heavyweights like Nvidia and Amazon. However, market reaction suggests that more capital isn’t going to be a viable substitute for a business model anymore. “Maybe Oracle stock got way ahead of fundamentals, and now the market’s saying, ‘All right, show me, I want to see it,’” Eric Diton, president of the Wealth Alliance, told**Yahoo Finance.
In a one-star review, The Guardian critic Xan Brooks slammed “Melania” as a film that “doesn’t have a single redeeming quality,” comparing it to a “medieval tribute to placate the greedy king on his throne.” Brooks said the film offers few revelations about its subject, who “moves through the action like a listless automaton, talking constantly but saying nothing.” In another one-star review, The Independent critic Nick Hilton called the first lady a “scowling void of pure nothingness in this ghastly bit of propaganda.” He suggested the film is “part sop to Big Tech companies who require constant regulatory approval for financial manoeuvrings,” citing Amazon’s big investment in the movie and appearances by billionaires Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, who are included in footage of Trump’s inaugural celebrations. The Atlantic writer Sophie Gilbert called “Melania” a “disgrace,” criticizing Trump for profiting off the project while in office. Other critics said the documentary was aimless and that Trump appeared to be uncomfortable being filmed. Variety critic Daniel D’Addario said the documentary is “primarily a film about a woman walking into and out of rooms,” while Gilbert said Ratner “seems desperate to find action, but there is none, stating for much of the film, the camera captures Trump “walking from liminal place to liminal place in five-inch heels.”
I mean ECHELON was reading satellite traffic in the 70s. Although now we call it Five Eyes. Encryption for regular people just wasn’t a thing until the 90s. Still isn’t for 90% of everyone on most platforms.
Member when “the government is listening!” Was ‘just crazy paranoids’?
Yeah.
Propaganda’s a helluva drug
Voting for Kamala was the only sane move. That’s all we were asking for.
We all want Bernie, but the nation is what it is and we’d have been streets ahead with Kamala even. Hopefully AOC someday.
Yeah but, Harris just loved that genocide.
You mean icelist.is? Ive heard of that
vote MAGA in the midterms if you’re curious how fucked your life can get.
Or don’t vote. Again. Either will have the same effect.
Yes but then Reagan.
Cripes, what a toad.
(No offense meant to toads, who are objectively cool.)
L3Harris Technologies
A major U.S. defense contractor, L3 Harris has a $4.4 million contract to provide “equipment to determine the location of targeted mobile handsets to investigate crimes and threats” for ICE. First awarded in 2022, the contract is set to expire at the end of this year. L3 didn’t respond to requests for comment.
She’s an Einstein Genius™ Visa holder!
No one’s going to lose SNAP benefits tho. And DC workers will be paid.
Are they, tho?
Imagine being the person in the Finland Ministry of Justice who’s been railing on about this for years and constantly getting shit on by idiot managers who can’t install (or use) their own software. Watch it make the national news and then they decide to go ahead and use AWS anyway.
I’m pretty sure a lot of us are that person.
