The House could vote today on the GOP’s new voter suppression legislation modeled on the infamous SAVE Act. This series of bills would end registration by mail and add new ID requirements that could prevent millions of eligible voters from registering. Make sure your representative hears from you ASAP: https://indivisible.org/actions/stop-save-house/?source=mastodon

This week Microsoft stock tanked -12% on revelations that 45% of its Azure customer backlog is OpenAI.

Oracle is now struggling to get loans to pay for its data center buildout to meet its $300B deal with OpenAI. They may need layoffs to come up with the money.

The underlying theme being bankers don’t believe OpenAI will have the money to pay these bills and it’s pulling down companies doing business with it.
