    RT @validapau: If DoorDash listened to @mvpeers advice back in 2023, buying Instacart will cost them only $10 billion. But that was different times.

    RT @Jessicalessin: Details from my fascinating conversation with CBS News Editor-in-Chief @bariweiss this morning. We discussed: Culture change at CBS, the state of 60 minutes, how she balances her personal opinions with running the network, future of streaming and subscription, what is next for the @TheFP, how she is covered by the media, what Trump says about her, her recent plane ride with CNN chief Mark Thompson and much much more.

    RT @Ryanbarwick: First Scoop: OpenAI is buying Google's AI chips. It's a big win for Google’s TPU chip business, which is a growing challenger to Nvidia. Also follows Oracle, which today said it would buy and rent out TPUs to customers. Talk to Barwick, folks!

    Pretty much. As of the past few weeks, debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money for any company that doesn’t have substantial revenue independent of AI data centers. SpaceX closed $40B of debt for GPUs, but we’re investment grade and have Starlink & launch revenue. That means the 200+ neoclouds are going to see guppy-level death and consolidation. Some will make it through, but not many.

    RT @aaronpholmes: One detail from the S-1 that’s flown under the radar: we finally got clarity on how much Anthropic pays to cloud resellers of its models. (This has previously been a sticking point for OAI investors trying to compare its own cloud rev share to Anthropic)
