Apparently $AMZN forgot to raise capex guidance. Who’s gonna buy all them chips if $GOOG and $META also forgot to raise guidance?? Maybe it’s finally over...
5 years from now we’ll play paintball in old data-centers, just like dead malls…🤣🤣
I get it, there are nuances for tech-bros who are deep in the weeds. Everyone has an anecdote about why I’m wrong.
Take a step back and be a commodity-bro who’s seen enough supply/demand cycles. Tokens are a commodity. Currently, the token factories are out-stripping token demand. Pricing is the adjustment factor. Except token factories are mostly fixed-price businesses. They have take-or-pay. They have commitments. They will produce tokens at a loss rather than turn off.
I’m not saying that token demand is slowing. It’s still growing at astronomical rates. I’m saying that token production is now out-pacing demand. The cycle will turn when demand accelerates or token production slows. There’s like half a trillion $ of GPUs waiting to be installed. I don’t think token production slows anytime soon.
Yeah, I get it. Jevon’s and all. It’s great for AI consumers and innovators. But the guys owning token factories are gonna all go bust in the process, and that’s like $2T of capex to date. You cannot even restructure these things and crush the debt. They’re just stranded by new, and more efficient chips. They’re always going to be stranded by new chips. More efficient Models will strand the more expensive ones. It’s a race to the bottom against fixed costs. It’s the most godawful business misallocation I’ve seen in a while. Makes the Chinese look like prudent capital allocators🤣🤣
It’s like having iron rails when the new railroads run on steel. This bankruptcy cycle will be epic…
BREAKING: France is running out of fuel. 11% of France's stations nationwide are now out of petrol or diesel, one in nine, with 16% of stations short in Grand Est, 15% in Pays de la Loire, 14% in Occitanie, and 13% in Centre-Val de Loire, per government figures published this morning.
The official count only registers a station as short if it has no petrol at all or no diesel at all, so a station out of one grade but holding another is not counted, meaning the real shortage is much larger. French diesel averages €2.406 a litre, about $10.45 a gallon.
Europe is facing its worst energy crisis in history.
*OPENAI EXPECTS TO BURN THROUGH ALMOST $280B BY END-2030: FT
OpenAI expects negative FCF of $278B through 2030
OpenAI is assuming $840B in revenue between now and the end of 2030 in that FCF assumption

Not much change in August.
Many of our positions appreciated, but we were held back by trade schools ($UTI and $LINC). Added a quite materially to both trade school positions on the decline…
Great to welcome @jakepaul to the Treasury Department today.
Jake’s path from content creator to entrepreneur and professional boxer is a distinctly American story. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
