MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want? M: *yells*

Today in our "You can't make this stuff up!" news segment: Despite the Speaker's encouragement to hurry back to end the shutdown, members of the House who helped create the shutdown are having difficulty getting back to DC because of flight cancellations caused by the shutdown.

Very peculiar. Why is this very similar story involving both the supposed costs and supposed revenues - but tilted in Anthropic’s favour - running in both the information and WSJ? Why is Anthropic so desperate to tell everyone it’ll be profitable by 2028 all of a sudden?

The information - As OpenAI and Anthropic seek to make similar breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, their financial paths may be headed in different directions.
Both companies produced financial projections a few months ago that show a divergence in how much they plan to spend on computational resources, which make up the vast majority of their costs.
While OpenAI projected spending about $235 billion on costs to train and run its AI
models this year through 2028, Anthropic planned to spend less than a third of that amount in its optimistic forecast, slowing down its spending growth in the coming years, previously undisclosed figures show.WSJ: The finances of Silicon Valley's two largest artificial-intelligence startups show their diverging approaches to the AI boom, with Anthropic on a pace to turn a profit far more quickly than rival OpenAI, according to documents obtained by The Wall Street Journal.
Anthropic, which has a growing number of business users because of the capabilities of its Claude chatbot in coding and other arenas, expects to break even for the first time in 2028, the documents show.

Average healthcare costs in the US: Giving birth? $18,000 Cancer treatment? $150,000 One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k. That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through. Cost in Canada? $0. Cost in the UK? $0. Cost in Australia? $0.

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation. To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

Had a great chat with @suzzicks.bsky.social the other week about Google’s 4S framework and how it’s killing long-tail search…on Google. The long tail isn’t dead, it’s just moved to YouTube, TikTok & podcasts, etc. This is the topic of this week's #SEOForLunch 👇 www.seoforlunch.com/p/death-of-l...

The Long Tail Search Has Died. It's All Happening Outside of Google.

SEOs for years relied on "top of funnel" queries to drive brand awareness. Users are evolving and so has how they search for information.

The mass kidnapping of Ukrainian children by Russia is an atrocity. That's why I'm leading a bipartisan resolution with Sen. Grassley to call for the return of these abducted kids. They cannot be used as pawns in this war.
