On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four.

I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation.

Love how AI is just as bad at drawing bicycles as humans. This is sort of the upside-down Turing Test. Being a more convincing human by being bad at something.

Dynamic pricing har nogle virkeligt uhyggelige perspektiver. Det handler ikke bare om dyre koncertbilletter. Det er ugennemsigtige principper som vi kender det fra rejse- og hotel-booking-platforme kombineret med AI og social profilering baseret på indkøbsvaner, demografi og hvem-ved-hvad ellers.

In May, Human Rights Watch released a report showing how gig platforms use opaque algorithms to erode workers' wages.

Now a new investigation finds Instacart is running AI price experiments: charging different people different prices for the *same* groceries, sometimes by more than 23%.

Premium Newsletter tomorrow: Meta, Google, Amazon and Microsoft must add $2 Trillion in AI revenue by 2030 or they wasted their capex.

The cost of data centers GPUs may make it impossible to make a profit from AI. Here's $10 off annual.

So, big tech has spent hundreds of billions of dollars of capital expenditures, and much of those expenditures are on GPUs. These GPUs, once installed, immediately begin decaying in value, and the more you use them, the more likely they are to crap out, and even when sitting idle, these GPUs have some power consumption — somewhere between 7% and 14% of their power in the case of the H100 — making them a consistent burden on the infrastructure of any purchaser whether they have customers or not. This becomes an even bigger problem for more expensive GPUs like the B200, which has an idle power draw of 140W per GPU. Extrapolate that out to thousands, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of them, or to the 50,000-per-building of them inside Stargate Abilene’s NVIDIA’s , and you’ve got yourself a problem. Even without customers, even without IT load, these servers sit burning power, and while a company could turn them off and boot them on for a period of time, these racks are often run in clusters — servers of GPUs that are synced together using high-speed networking — and while I can’t find anything firm as far as how long it takes to set up a cluster, this presentation on cluster design from the CEO of Lambda details a cluster’s sheer complexity, involving discrete networking, software layer and storage methods just to get the bloody thing working. In simple terms, it may be expensive to leave them on, but it’s going to take a bunch of time and energy to restart these things, meaning that they are more than likely left on, slowly burning energy. Imagine how bad that is at a scale of hundreds of thousands of GPUs? Yet things might be a little wonkier, as the reality may be that while hyperscalers have customers, those customers might not be using all their GPUs at all times. Although there may be some customers that agree to a minimum spend or throughput, it’s hard to imagine that these contracts are enough to surmount the destructive margins. And when … And when I say “destructive margins,” I mean so much more than just the power to run and cool them. There’s the construction of the data centers to house them, the necessary maintenance, and, of course, any and all debt used to buy them. While I can (and will!) say that for every $50,000 GPU bought, big tech needs to make another $100,000, I believe that the hole created by the GPU’s existence is likely larger than just $100,000, with every construction delay, power outage, or moment of idle compute adding dollars to the hole for each and every GPU. Need a very real example? The Information reported recently that Oracle lost $100 million between June and August 2025 on rentals of NVIDIA’s Blackwell chips: In the three months that ended in August, Oracle lost nearly $100 million from rentals of Nvidia’s Blackwell chips, which arrived this year. That’s partly because there is a period between when Oracle gets its data centers ready for customers and when customers start using and paying for them, the documents show. It’s not clear what causes the gap or how Oracle plans to shorten it. So, while we can’t say for sure, there’s a chance a large chunk of these losses were caused by the spread-out deprecation of those Blackwell GPUs — after all, its most recent quarterly earnings included $1.35 billion of depreciation, right? Sidenote: For context, Oracle reported depreciation of $804m in the same period last year, and depreciation of $3.867bn for the whole of FY2025. This should give you a sense of how rapidly these GPUs are becoming a millstone on its earnings. …is there any way to actually recover that $100 million through the margins on these chips? Oracle only has 4.5 years of depreciation on these Blackwell Chips, and The Information reports that those GB200 server racks have a negative 100% gross margin according to internal Oracle documents. If that’s the case, we have a much, much bigger problem, but even if the margins aren’t literally negative…will ther…

A warning is typically issued 36 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life and property should be complete in Jamaica and rushed to completion in Cuba. A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possiblewithin the watch area. A watch is typically issued 48 hoursbefore the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-forcewinds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult ordangerous. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions areexpected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. Interests in Bermuda should monitor the progress of Melissa. For storm information specific to your area, please monitorproducts issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK----------------------At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the eye of Hurricane Melissa was located near latitude 16.6 North, longitude 78.6 West. Melissa is moving slowly toward the northwest near 2 mph (4 km/h). A slow turn toward the north is expected tonight, followed by a turn toward the northeast at a slightly faster forward speed on Tuesday. A northeastward motion with a faster forward speed is expected on Wednesday and Thursday. On the forecast track, the core of Melissa is expected to move near or over Jamaica by early Tuesday, across southeastern Cuba Tuesday night, and across the southeastern or central Bahamas on Wednesday. Maximum sustained winds are near 175 mph (280 km/h) with highergusts. Melissa is a category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-SimpsonHurricane Wind Scale. Some fluctuations in intensity are likely before Melissa makes landfall on Jamaica. However, Melissa is expected to reach Jamaica and southeastern Cuba as an extremely powerful major hurricane, and will still be at hurricane strength when it moves across the southeastern Bahamas. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles (45 km) fromthe center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 195miles (315 km). The minimum central pressure estimated by aircraft dropsonde data is 909 mb (26.85 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND----------------------Key messages for Melissa can be found in the Tropical CycloneDiscussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO header WTNT43 KNHC. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring in Jamaica, andcatastrophic and life-threatening hurricane-force wind conditionsare expected to begin late tonight and continue into Tuesday. Within the eyewall, total structural failure is likely, especially in higher elevation areas where wind speeds atop and on the windward sides of hills and mountains could be up to 30 percent stronger. Tropical storm conditions are expected to begin in eastern Cuba on Tuesday, with hurricane conditions expected to begin in the hurricane warning area starting Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. Tropical storm conditions are expected in Haiti late Tuesday and Wednesday. Hurricane conditions are expected in the southeastern and centralBahamas on Wednesday. Tropical Storm conditions are expected in theTurks and Caicos Islands on Wednesday with hurricane conditions also possible on Wednesday. RAINFALL: Melissa is expected to bring rainfall of 15 to 30 inchesto portions of Jamaica and additional rainfall of 6 to 12 inches forsouthern Hispaniola through Wednesday, with storm total local maximaof 40 inches possible. Catastrophic flash flooding and numerouslandslides are likely. For eastern Cuba, storm total rainfall of 10 to 20 inches, withlocal amounts to 25 inches, is expected by Monday into Wednesdayresulting in life-threatening and potentially catastrophic flashflooding with numerous landslides. Over the Southeast Bahamas, total rainfall of 5 to 10 inches isexpected Tuesday into Wednesday resulting in areas of flashflooding. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated withMelissa, please see the National Weather Service Storm TotalRainfall Graphic, available athurricanes.gov/graphics_at3.shtml?rainqpf STORM SURGE: A life-threatening storm surge is likely along thesouth coast of Jamaica late tonight and on Tuesday. Peak storm surge heights could reach 9 to 13 feet above ground level, near and to the east of where the center of Melissa makes landfall. This storm surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. On the northwest coast of Jamaica, near Montego Bay, there is the possibility of 1 to 3 feet of storm surge above ground level. There is a potential for significant storm surge along the southeastcoast of Cuba late Tuesday or Wednesday. Peak storm surge heightscould reach 7 to 11 feet above normal tide levels, near and to theeast of where the center of Melissa makes landfall. This storm surgewill be accompanied by large and destructive waves. Storm surge of 4 to 6 ft above normally dry ground is possible inthe southeastern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos Islands on Wednesday. SURF: Swells generated by Melissa are expected to affect portions ofHispaniola, Jamaica, eastern Cuba, and the Cayman Islands during thenext several days, and the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands,and Bermuda later this week. These swells are likely to causelife-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consultproducts from your local weather office.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.
