And the sleep polls Dec 1, 2025

We need another sleep poll, I protest! Re. the AI bubble, keep them coming, this is the 10th one. Did the AI poll prompt machine get broken?

As if Zucc himself can point fingers at anyone. As if he has no deal in this hand.

Apologies, colleagues.

AI telling me I don't know how to write leads me into all manner of other snares.

Just for fun:

ai firms circular financing

"what looks like revenue generated by sales is, in some cases, really just the same stock of money going in circles between the various AI companies…[G]iven the pace at which capacity is expanding, one can’t dismiss concerns that circular flows of money are a warning sign."
