Because they are, I pay anthropic 200 a month, if I were paying by the token like an enterprise it would be close to 11 grand a month. Yes I use 100 percent of my allocation on every window.

He did support Tommy Robinson and the 2025 British anti-immigration protests… some can view that as a form of racism, especially calling London’s demographic shift a “demographic nightmare” eroding Britain’s national identity.

As much of it as possible is done by rail, it’s the last mile problem.

Unless it’s last minute which a surprising amount of it is, but consumers love overnight access to stuff

Diligence told them they’re buying a almost dead payment processor with ancient tech. Customer lists are worth something but not that much.

They’re just wildly successful terrible engineers who can describe problems well and have unlimited token budgets. If they were paying for their own token use, the software would be better, they simply don’t have financial incentive to be more performant.

A dirty secret of AI data centers are that they’re only getting 40-60% efficiency out of their GPU clusters and because the moneygun go brrrrr they just buy more.

You wonder why they’re so afraid of the Chinese competition… they can’t afford to be as wasteful

I’m considering moving my family to China to be proximate and to witness the next rise of a superpower. I was too young for the 80’s US computer boom, and in collage for the .com one. The Web 2.0 rise only produced a small handful of winners. China seems boundless.
