I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"

Fitch Downgrades Paramount After Warner Bros. Deal Announcement The $81 billion deal for Warner Bros. Discovery is highly complex and poses credit risks, Fitch Ratings said.

After Warner Bros. deal, Paramount's debt has been downgraded to junk status

Basically, the ratings agency thinks the combined entity faces a ton of competition & there's a risk the entire enterprise fails -- debt attached to it is therefore high-risk

FEDSPEAK: β€œ.. To some degree, the Strait is experiencing β€˜self-closure.’ .. No oil shipments have passed since morning, according to local reports; 22% of global supply is effectively β€˜frozen’ .. indicating that the warnings by the IRGC are heeded.”

Half a billion dollars gambling on death and destruction. We are a diseased society.

Exclusive: Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei would be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say In the run-up to the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Saturday, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency assessed that even if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the operation, he would likely be replaced by hardline figures from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), two sources briefed on the intelligence said.

Operation Epic Fury sounds like something a 13 year old kid would name a Call of Duty campaign.

Nvidia, Amazon, Google will have to divest from Anthropic if Hegseth gets his way. This is simply attempted corporate murder. I could not possibly recommend investing in American Al to any investor; I could not possibly recommend starting an Al company in the United States.

Think about the power Hegseth is asserting here. He is claiming that the DoD can force all contractors to stop doing business of any kind with arbitrary other companies.
In other words, every operating system vendor, every manufacturer of hardware, every hyperscaler, every type of firm the DoD contracts withβ€”all their services and products can be denied to any economic actor at will by the Secretary of War.

This is obviously a psychotic power grab. It is almost surely illegal, but the message it sends is that the United States Government is a completely unreliable partner for any kind of business. The damage done to our business environment is profound. No amount of deregulatory vibes sent by this administration matters compared to this arson.

Trump’s former AI advisor calls the Trump administration’s treatment of @anthropic.com β€œattempted corporate murder” and says Hegseth is engaging in β€œa psychotic power grab.”

In the summer of 2024 I looked into what it would take to move there in the event the orange blight returned. It was doable, but ultimately I couldn’t in good conscience be that far away from my aging parents.
