Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

I can't imagine a world without Diane Keaton. I worked with her on a movie project back in the day, and she was everything you'd expect and want her to be. Hilarious, kind, authentic, unassuming. Real. RIP to one of the greatest ever.

Big Staten Island canvass today, despite the dreary weather.

I’m so grateful for the thousands of volunteers who bring this campaign directly to New Yorkers across the five boroughs every single week.

Also, this isn’t legal.

Oh what’s that? They will depreciate at roughly 3 times the rate previously touted and require constant replacement and 2-3x the revenue to match initial expenditure?

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

Hey chat is it bad when bet your entire economy on a business model that depends on financially unsustainable infrastructure?

“I had previously assumed a 10-year depreciation curve, which I now recognize as quite unrealistic based upon the speed with which AI datacenter technology is advancing,” Kupperman wrote. “Based on my conversations over the past month, the physical data centers last for three to ten years, at most.”

In his previous analysis, Kupperman assumed it would take the tech industry $160 billion of revenue to break even on data center spending in 2025 alone. And that’s assuming an incredibly generous 25 percent gross margin — not to mention the fact that the industry’s actual AI revenue is closer to $20 billion annually, as the investment manager noted in his previous blog.

“In reality, the industry probably needs a revenue range that is closer to the $320 billion to $480 billion range, just to break even on the capex to be spent this year,” Kupperman posited in his updated essay. “No wonder my new contacts in the industry shoulder a heavy burden — heavier than I could ever imagine. They know the truth.”

Kupperman called that gulf between tech industry spending and actual revenue in 2025 “astonishing.” However, it doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. For example, how does it all shake out when we account for 2026, when hundreds of new data centers are expected to pop up?

“Adding the two years together, and using the math from my prior post, you’d need approximately $1 trillion in revenue to hit break even, and many trillions more to earn an acceptable return on this spend,” he writes.

“I never understood the idea that you’re supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn’t something I relate to at all. — I’ve done all kinds of things I said I wouldn’t do and, of course, now I’m glad. Thrilled.”

R.I.P. Diane Keaton, what a legend. 🕊️💫
