EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

actual lol. disgusting levels of greed.

Sentiment check:

still extremely painful to watch financial markets continuously celebrate one of the most harmful technologies we’ve ever created. probably need a mental break.

another $2800/month to Dario Amodei instead of hiring someone with an artist’s passion. by every measure big and small, gen AI is so easily the most disgusting economic misallocation of our era.

"But my Wyvern development has been burning the equivalent of $87k/month of API token burn, or about 69 billion tokens in July... in reality I'm only spending about $2800/month out of pocket." What's Wyvern, you ask? See image #2. $87k/month.

LOL

SpaceX shares got to $110 this week. Ten more bucks for the downside, Morgan Stanley argues, and investors “are pricing in zero or even negative value from its AI segment.” @bloomberg.com $SPCX www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Happy 6th anniversary, this week. 🎂

the price war is in full swing now.

This tiny concrete court in Greenwich Village became legendary streetball turf. NBA players have shown up to test themselves against the locals, and not all of them survived it.

Space Jam mashups still being made is like the ytp equivalent of the Costco hotdog still being $1.50

no matter how this world cup ends, still gonna be the best football game in east rutherford for the remainder of the year

absolutely true. cooking their own jobs AND their transferable skills at the same time. and the most incredible part to me is that many still don't even realize it.

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

Long ago when the four nations lived in harmony.

it's about to get extremely ugly as data center/AI appetite wanes. expect much, much more of this.
