I missed this last week.

The man the AFR experts thinks is “Australia’s newest datacenter titan” has never built a datacenter.

He lost $24 million in 2024. He has an MOU from Microsoft that says they’ll give him $2.5 billion if he turns up a datacenter in Laughton, UK, by the end of this year. That’s on the site he doesn’t actually own, which is currently running as a scaffolding yard (The Guardian broke that story)

On the strength of his $24 million loss and that MOU, Macquarie Bank has loaned him $105 million.

Last year Kier Starmer trumpeted his company as “British sovereign AI.” He has no AI, no British employees, and was based in Australia at the time. He’s built precisely nothing whatsoever since Starmer’s endorsement.

AFR wrote this article AFTER ALL THAT INFORMATION WAS MADE PUBLIC. “Datacenter titan,” no datacenters, losing money hand over fist, originating from Bitcoin grift.

Gud jernalisms!

Nvidia’s Jensen Huang predicts $50 billion revenue for Joshua Payne’s AI data centre firm Nscale

Josh Payne counts Microsoft as his biggest customer and Jensen Huang as an investor and believer in his young company’s ambitions as a computing hyperscaler.

FYI: if you use the handle on your #rsac badge or unusual nickname expect to have to get your badge reprinted and wait in the super long and slow line. They’re verifying that badge names exactly match government ID. Worse than TSA. (I was still able to get her to put “Space Rogue” on it, but she didn’t want to.) #rsac2026

I sometimes get this embarrassing thing where I walk into a room and forget what I was going to do. But now I know that teleporting excuse I'll never have to be embarrassed again. Sheer genius

Me explaining to my wife how Afroman winning his trial is a turning point and maybe we aren't in the Darkest Timeline after all.

This Afroman trial is giving me life.

Cops raided Afroman's house for no reason. They pointed guns at him and his kids, ransacked his house, and tried to disconnect his home security cameras. They didn't disconnect them all, and so were allegedly caught on camera stealing his money.

He then made a series of music videos using footage from his security camerasz and body cam footage. Now the cops are suing him for making the videos. The ACLU is defending him.

It's so insanely disrespectful for an AI agent to talk to real people without consent or at least disclosure. This is the type of stuff I'm hugely supportive of government regulation. The FCC must expand the definition of robocalling and TCPA-style regulation to online AI.

Google already ramping up its drops to friendly journalists to try and pressure the government to weaken taxation of big tech, threatening not to build its huge, energy-sucking data centres in the country if its forced to pay its fair share
