Bolha de IA: Trump quer salvar as big techs

EUA preparam-se para adquirir ações de gigantes da IA, alegando “partilha de lucros”. É o primeiro passo para um resgate às custas dos cidadãos, quando estourar a nova bolha tecnológica. Sul Global, ainda hospedaria serviços cujo sócio é a própria Casa Branca

'Anthropic saw that the window for a “ChatGPT that won’t tell your kids to kill themselves”—for an AI company that will put its head down, say the right things, and get to the business of selling mass automation software as promised—was wide open. It built a popular vibecoding and software automation product, cozied up to the pope, mugged for the cameras, and parlayed months of ethical AI theater into an eye-watering payday'

How Anthropic used AI ethics slop to play the pope and eclipse OpenAI

By marketing itself as the 'safe' AI company, Anthropic has pulled in a $65 billion payday and leapfrogged OpenAI to become the most valuable AI startup.

Blood in the Machine
Nobody questions how much a nuclear weapon costs. It is a strategic capability. Nation states will invest in it as such. The big tech companies won't be nationalised or anything - that's too crude. They'll just get tax incentives or whatever opaque indirect bung works. The accounting line items will cancel each other out. Expect future government debates to be about %GDP on AI. #ai #tooBigToFail

Remember the fall of the bank #LehmanBrothers, the first domino to fall in the financial crisis of 2008? Some knew what a #SubprimeMortgage is, and many others did not, but got hurt anyway

Recall those #TooBigToFail discussions? Bailing out companies with taxpayer money, because letting them take responsibility and fall was deemed worse? Even when these should have known better? Basically privatising the profits and nationalising the losses because of their #SystemicRelevance?

Unschuldig – Mr. Bates gegen die Post - Fernsehfilme und Serien | ARTE

Eine wahre David-gegen-Goliath-Geschichte: Ein Drama über einen der größten Justizirrtümer der britischen Rechtsgeschichte. Hunderte von unschuldigen Unterpostmeistern wurden aufgrund eines fehlerhaften IT-Systems zu Unrecht des Diebstahls, des Betrugs und der falschen Buchführung beschuldigt. Viele wurden strafrechtlich verfolgt und ihr Leben durch den Skandal unwiderruflich zerstört. - Gewinner des BAFTA TV Awards als beste limitierte Serie.

“In totality, the AI industry seems to have made about $65 billion in revenue (not profit!) in 2025, with I estimate about a third of that being the result of OpenAI or Anthropic feeding money to hyperscalers or neoclouds like CoreWeave, and a billions more being AI startups (funded entirely by VC) feeding money to Anthropic and OpenAI to rent their models.

Even the venture capital scale of AI startups is drastically overestimated. While (as reported by The New York Times) “AI startups” raised $297 billion in the first quarter of 2026, $188 billion of that was taken by OpenAI (which has yet to fully receive the funds!), Anthropic, xAI, and Waymo. In 2025, $425 billion was invested in startups globally, with half of that (about $212.5 billion) going to AI startups, but about half of that ($102 billion) going to Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Scale AI’s not-quite-acquisition by Meta, and Bezos’ Project Prometheus.

The great financial crisis was, as I’ll get into, a literal collapse of how banks, financial institutions, and property businesses operated, with their reckless speculation on a housing market that was only made possible by a craven mortgage industry incentivized to get people to sign at any cost. When people speculated that there was a bubble, articles ran saying that housing was actually cheap, that subprime lending had actually “made the mortgage market more perfect,” that the sky was not falling in the credit markets because unemployment wasn’t going to rise, that subprime mortgages wouldn’t hurt the economy, and that there was no recession coming.”

Premium: AI Isn't Too Big To Fail

Soundtrack — Soundgarden — Blow Up The Outside World A lot of people try to rationalize the AI bubble by digging up the past. Billions of dollars of waste are justified by saying “OpenAI just like Uber” (it isn’t) and “the data center buildout is just like Amazon Web Services” (it

Anthropic Will Probably Survive Trump's Tantrum, For All the Wrong Reasons

I like Anthropic a lot, but I worry about whether its extensity makes it too big to govern.
