Mesay@mesay.bsky.social · 2d agoThe biggest athlete loss for Nike. Hands down. And a massive get for On. They’re not a meaningful player in Football, and having a super star may not change that. But it’s much better to try that with the best player in the world in your roster than not. Stunned.
Per usual, another excellent pod from @reckless.bsky.social. Particularly enjoyed the bit about alignment. A sane conversation between two reasonable people in time everything around AI is anything but.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 5d agoFrom @theathletic.com: It was the viral moment that shocked everyone except the athlete who sparked it. The winner of a Hyrox race who kept competing after soiling herself became last weekend’s big viral sporting moment, but it is surprisingly common.
Valve still not giving up on VR gaming is pretty cool to see. I was doing AR/VR product marketing almost 10yrs ago, and the business was tough. It’s gotten considerably tougher since, but Valve is like, nah, we ball. Respect 🫡

Debt financing for AI buildout is expected to hit $300 - 500B next year. When we were near 0% int rate, would’ve been a different story. At 6%+, those NPV models get mighty tricky. Some will get absolutely rinsed.
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · last wk.Oracle had -$5.4B in free cash flow while cutting jobs, spent ~$2.8B to pay for layoffs & exits and is raising $40B to fund its AI buildout. Whether or not AI is a bubble, there’s a real risk that some companies run out of money before we find out. Oracle is probably safe, but some others won’t be

iPhone 18 Pro price +$100, lower than everyone expected (consensus was $200). For Duo, consensus was $2199, announced at $1999. They’re loading most of the Ramageddon margin hits onto the Mac. They don’t want any volume risk to the iPhone. Makes sense
The Verge@theverge.com · 2w agoThe price increase impacts the iPhone 16, the full iPhone 17 lineup, as well as the iPhone Air. www.theverge.com/tech/992551/...
