~taking out my earrings~ B2B GTM folks, let’s maybe not be gaslit about AI anymore.

Neither is true: “AI gives us life.” “AI will kill us.” Stop giving any of it oxygen. Instead, focus on what can give you immediate results in acquisition, expansion, retention:

My signal is annabower.24 if any other United States Attorneys want to text me!
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Couldn’t put this one down compelling to the kicker

It's almost as though she is a moron
Lindsey Halligan comes off as a rube, a bully, and maybe a rogue here. She asked after conversing to be off the record.— everyone knows it doesn’t work that way. she browbeats Bower w/o explaining what’s wrong, and she sure seems to be hinting about GJ info.

So I realize I’ve reposted this all day, but I cannot understate the scale of this story. If Anthropic is spending this much on Google Cloud - or even 25% - the costs of running their business are never coming down. It’s a huge scoop, and the first real discussion of the true costs of AI anywhere.
Exclusive: Anthropic spent $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in the first three quarters of 2025, around 100% of their estimated revenue. Its costs appear to increase with their revenue, showing little path to profitability.

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

I love this show. No clue if it's technically good or not but it's such a great ride!
Bravo! New Guard, pls
Let this moment be a wakeup call to stop taking some of the far-left seriously.

Mamdani isn't good enough for them. Nor is Rep. AOC. Nor is Sen. Sanders. No one is good enough for them.

Britain must crush Musk.

Democratic governments don't usually target individuals - but Elon Musk is acting like a rogue state - encouraging violence on our streets, and funding the far right.

The usual incentives are broken - so we need to change what we do:

Britain must crush Musk
What should our democracy do when a very rich man encourages violence on our streets? That’s the question that Britain faces today with Elon Musk’s recent behaviour. Traditionally, this hasn’t been ...

i do firmly believe in the end, we will win, but the dread and the loss of watching this nightmare unfold is really something. These assholes are undermining everything we've taken for granted as a democratic and open society (however imperfect) with such vile hubris
SCOTUS killing VRA would really be the culmination of a Second Redemption

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

This is a great league table of countries doing well /badly on climate change.

Terrible: South Africa, Russia, India

Sluggish: China, USA

Not bad: EU
In contrast, China does NOT lead the world in how fast it's adding clean energy in relation to the size of its energy market, and most definitely does not lead the world in how clean its energy or power mix is.

Some ideas for this weekend #NoKings

When the administration and ICE act like clowns, Portland has shown us how the appropriate response is to make it a circus.

🤡🎪🤡🎪🤡
Here's a list of other ways Portland has flipped the narrative on its head, beyond the viral antics of Seth the Frog & his inflatable friends!

it'd be hard for me to love her, a person I don't know, more.

As a woman, she's a constant reminder that all is not shit.

As a tech founder building, there are no better values to work toward.

When Aaron Fucking Rupar is doing more reporting than CBS News and The NYT

I think this was a plotline on the second season of The Newsroom
Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.
It’s always a great year *not* to go to dreamforce

I could’ve never guessed that they could top all of the normal terrible reasons to avoid it
Would be a good time to shut down Dreamforce. If I have friends who are still speaking there, this is a good reason to cancel.

This morning there is one Nobel Peace Prize winner, 8.1 billion or so people who did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, and one Nobel Peace Prize loser.
Was relieved to see this and what it portends for his future hopes:

Reporter: Why didn’t Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize?

Nobel committee chair: We only give the award to people of courage and integrity.

Every single AI data center is a toxic investment, with most of its value tied up in GPUs that will be multiple generations behind by the time these things turn on - and then die in 3-5 years.

All to build for AI demand that doesn't exist.
