The AI hype/scarcity frenzy (bubble) was based on Meta and xAI hoarding GPUs for themselves instead of reselling compute, making it abundant instead of scarce. All of the other datacenters were hoping to have them as customers instead of competitors.
2 lies in article:
byline “proves compute is scarce” is opposite. This is not a real datacenter rental deal. It is a “can quit anytime” show deal. Token consumption is down 20% since march peak.
“Compute costs are rising exponentially”. Blatant lie, in terms of compute pricing $/gpu hour. Rates are near their accounting floor (though not at rock bottom) for H series, and the faster newer cards are just 2x the $/hour instead of the 8x saturated performance difference.
You see… the previous corrupt process was only a problem not because doors were falling off planes mid air, but because that happened recently enough for you to remember it tied to the corrupt process. If Boeing isn’t allowed to sell cheaply made death traps, then China and Iran win.
Clitoris is that girl who get’s raped on a pinball machine in Silence of the Lambs.
This seemed more alarming news: AAI is tracking IPs/proxies/vpn, timezones on requests.

While it is explained as “only to accuse China of evil”, its tracking everyone, and empowers US government crackdowns on anyone either AAI or US doesn’t like.
For last 5 quarters, Nvidia has sold much more GPUs than get installed. On 3 year depreciation schedule, 8xh200s are $1.50/hour per card just sitting there. B200s are $2/hr. (Nvidia changes network cable each generation). Very expensive to do what you are suggesting is happening, but only other explanation is smuggling into China, or secret sovereign/military purchases.
It’s also possible that they are lent to tier 2/3 datacenters in revenue share deals.
The fundamental lie behind the AI fraud is that compute is scarce relative to demand. OpenAI, Grok, Meta did overinvest in hoarding GPUs far ahead of their usage. Last 2 are now competing on hourly GPU market, and AI tokens/revenue has fallen 20% since spring peak, which is a bubble pop compared to 10x/year perpetual growth expectations behind the hoarding. While hourly gpu rental market is stable rather than declining, it is stable at very low prices, mostly for accounting reasons of not actually losing money intentionally. Deployed GPUs are abundant proven by accounting floor based pricing. A b300 can deliver 8x the tokens of an h200 but only rents for 2x more.
most of the fuel weight required is to lift the rest of the fuel. Fuel costs is about $1m for full load. Rest of cost is huge staff, maintenance, and capital cost of rocket.
The $200/kg launch price target is based on 150 ton capacity. That’s a $30m launch costs target. Volume/foldability matters the most because that is the actual constraint that limits datacenter launch to a single NVL72 size.
It will never be an economic thing. Only unpluggable skynet military thing. The weight is not an issue. though. It’s volume.
Incredibly bad, too lenghty, mostly irrelevant criticisms of the fraud of space datacenters, followed up by the Skynet military justification of being unable to unplug skynet.
Space datacenters from SpaceX are a fraud because they have a 5 year lifecycle with deorbiting of entire unit. The costs compared to 30 year lifecycle of terrestrial solar/battery powered datacenter energy is thus 6x higher (costs of shell/shield, solar, radiators is about the same but 6 replacements). Terrestrial building costs are $20/watt. SpaceX ambitions are to get $30m/launch costs. To be only 2x the terrestrial costs, launch costs need to be $1m (just the fuel costs) with deorbit being to fly off into space instead of a salvage trip.
At 12x the costs, the competitive GPU rental hurdle has to be 12x more expensive than earth. Only military skynet applications would pay for this, and specifically, only permit mechahitler to decide if skynet is doing a good job.
Gulf Cooperation Council is essentially west side of Persian Gulf. It is very oil rich region, includes 2-3 very rich, countries with city infrastructure better developed than any US city. Dubai is epitomy of this with global financial/transport/tourism center, tallest sky scraper in world. War has caused a 30%-50% property value drop. Iran has been striking energy and US bases in these countries.
US wealth is far more dependent on GCC investment than Israel control. This war has ended, because GCC were threatening US. Terms includes not rebuilding destroyed US bases, and leaving the ones they still occupy.
Headline is innacuralte. Customers who purchase a $200/month subscription, can save up to $13800 on token costs compared to “a la carte” token pricing. Open AI does lose over $1 per $ in revenue, but this is more a function of them having too much compute, and very high training costs, rather than a loss per gpu hour on tokens served, it should stilll be a loss for OpenAI:
Open source model pricing per gpu hour, ranges from 80% margins at high batch saturation per user (low tps per user) to 50% at concurency of 8, to loss at fewer user requests per gpu. https://inferencex.semianalysis.com/compare/deepseek-r1-b300-vs-h200
OpenAI has very high prices, and too much compute. They would likely lose $6000 per user who maxes out their $200 plan, and certainly over $1000 per user.
GCC are the ones doing the investment. The US only loses the war when they stop investing their oil revenues in US. US protection of them has proved to be a liability, Democracy is a mere talking point every where in the world. Only CIA control matters. GCC stays safe from democratic ideals through CIA subservience. GCC needs guarantees that US won’t bomb their projects, or run colour revolutions in their countries. As it has always been, GCC needs protection from US/Israel, and only non-US aligned weapon systems are their solution.
GCC bailing out the US to get peace with Iran, and investment opportunities, means a stronger Iran can help protect them. The reason there is peace is purely GCC pushback against US. But the point where the US has lost the war, is only the point where they lose GCC devotion.
what do 4 small stars on flag represent?
Israel is a specifically Jewish state with laws (rape specifically) that protect jews only. Citizenship freely available to all jews globally. Apartheid is, and always has been, structural. It’s a similar proposition to say Americans control America, based on American citizens having privleges. But that statement is also anti-semitic, because it denies Israel’s control.
It’s not a useful metric because some companies have high margins (perfume, advertising, software) and some have low margins (grocery stores, space launches), and mandatory huge capital/cash reinvestment (AI, space launches). The reason to use a multiple to revenue is because of unprofitability. But all stock price is a function of profit and expected profit growth rate… usually.
spaceX has negative earnings and cashflow. They are going by price to revenue ratio, including about half the revenue being inflated datacenter rental rates from Anthropic and Google (large SpaceX shareholder) that let them cancel at any time. 75 price to revenue ratio is much higher than previous record that was facebook IPO. Facebook was just a web site that serves ads. Less than $1/user in computing hardware. AI is $30 to $300 hardware costs per user… assuming there are a lot of users. The other absurdity in Spacex prospectus is a $26T enterprise AI total addressable market. Even if true, grok’s share going up has no basis in reality.
I’m only 90% sure this is fake.
Monarchies over the ages are a bad example, because there was a sustainability mandate to pass off a good country as inheritence to heirs. A candidate for worse countries would be Idi Amin, and US allies, but for US allies, their alliance is forced due to CIA coups/colour revolutions, and the scale of Idi Amin’s pillage is a million x lower. The utter oligarchist/corporatist supremacist nazi economics and geopolitics of US, together with the pure Israel/Zionazi capture of every elected official is a corruption that is beyond any other in both scale, and in fundamentally voluntary complicit bribery scheme for pure bribery value, excluding Mossad operations such as Epstein. The late stage empire pillaging stage is next level. That Congo arrests officials for corruption proves low levels of extended corruption. ie. punishments happen.
