Premium: The AI Bubble's promises are impossible. NVIDIA's customers are running out of money, GPUs die in 3-5 years, most 1GW data centers will never get built, and OpenAI's Abilene data center doesn't won't have the power it needs before 2028 - if it ever does.

The AI Bubble's Impossible Promises

Readers: I’ve done a very generous “free” portion of this newsletter, but I do recommend paying for premium to get the in-depth analysis underpinning the intro. That being said, I want as many people ...

Yet they're stopping us from receiving them, instead letting them expire on shelves.

I mince no words here, Trump wants you to die so he can own the libs.

If only there were some way for the Republicans to get 51% of the votes, this whole thing would be over.

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again.
If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive.

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Also, we proposed a idea how to do a end run on vote by mail. Concept is based on what Trump proposed. When you vote, you check everyone's citizenship as well as voter ID.
In a vote by mail state, you might be able to check citizenship during voter registration. You can send copies of your passport and your birth certificate in.
How in the world are you going to check our voters?
Voter ID, right? Vote by mail. So that creates a problem for Oregon.
But if federal government new requirement is to check both, and if Oregon can comply with the requirements, what would happen to our election result? I'm talking about the entire federal delegation.
For federal elections, we're talking about only federal elections.

So entire federal delegation, congressmen and senators could be challenged, could be unseated because you didn't follow federal requirements to elect them. So I said the trade-off is worth it. You know why?
Democrats control two Senate seats out of six congressional seats. We only control one. They control five.
You talk about trade-off, right?
COMMON SENSE

Azeen Ghorayshi at the NYT has moved on from going after trans people and is now pushing the leasing question that autism diagnoses are too common because of its expansion of it to a spectrum.

She is wearing a light orange top with thin straps.

Portland not beating the Hell On Earth allegations. @wyden.senate.gov

A giant menacing skeleton appears to climb out of my neighbor's lushiously green front lawn. This is a great bit of movie magic since it's an upper torso only decoration, which implies the bottom half of the huge creature is buried in the hillside. There's also gravestones posted in their rose bed and white ragged ghosts hanging from their trees and boney flamingos on sticks. Not pictured: their Hello Kitty Halloween inflatable. Really they just went all out here.

The 'not a gaming GPU' is valid today. The A100 is an Ampere GPU with full graphics support, but does lack video encoders to enable remote streaming. Only the L40 (ADA) and Blackwell 6000 have support for both gaming and encoding. Datacenter cards like the H100 and B200 don't support graphics.

Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.
