I photoshop a cowboy hat onto Hangman Adam Page every day until I forget: Day 615

Yankees literally did the same thing to the Griffeys as well which is why Griffey JR famously said he'd never sign with the Yankees.

Vladdy admits why he dislikes the Yankees in a 2023 interview: "When a team humiliates you, the Lord grants you the ability to humiliate them

“It was me who was removed from the stadium, I was 7 or 8 years old, so I was like okay... Now when I arrive you're going to feel my presence in the Bronx."

I suspect the Venn Diagram of men who do not care that AI doesn't generate a profit and the men who insist the WNBA isn't profitable (and think that matters if it was true) is a damn circle.

Matthew Terrill @matthewterrill.bsky.social · 11h

I was already a hard AI-skeptic but this cements my long suspicion that there is no feasible path to anything close to return on invested capital for these data centers. Tech would need 15 to 25 times current AI revenues within the next 2-3 years just to break even. Not financially viable.

"I clearly hit a nerve in the industry, when judging by the number of individuals who reached out to chat," he wrote in an followup blog post. "In total, l've spoken with over two-dozen rather senior people in the datacenter universe, and there was an interesting and overriding theme to our conversations: no one understands how the financial math is supposed to work. They are as baffled as I am, and they do this for a living."
Kupperman's original skepticism was built on a guess that the components in an average Al data center would take ten years to depreciate, requiring costly replacements. That was bad enough: "I don't see how there can ever be any return on investment given the current math," he wrote at the time.
But ten years, he now understands, is way too generous.
" had previously assumed a 10-year depreciation curve, which I now recognize as quite unrealistic based upon the speed with which Al 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 Al 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.
"If the economics don't work, doing it at massive scale doesn't make the economics work any better
- it just takes an industry crisis and makes it into a national economic crisis," he concludes.
Overall, the pessimists broadly agree: it's no longer a matter of if Al is massively overhyped, but when the whole thing comes crashing down.

Feel free to apologize to the long time AEW poster designer who has been designing their PPV and TV match posters for years any day now for just saying this shit about his work based on ??? vibes I guess because it's certainly not based on all of this very publicly known info.

Tweet by Mohamed Fahmy that says "No AI tools were used in the design process. The illustrations of Hangman and Joe were created manually in Sketchbook Pro. All other visual elements are premium, royalty-free assets sourced from Shutterstock and Adobe Stock." With a photo showing the progression from line art to colouring to final product for the Hangman illustration.

One day someone will come at your art with these same spurious claims and you better hope you saved your drafts and files in response.

I think this also highlights an issue where even many artists don't know what graphic design work looks like (using assets, mirroring/repeating patterns, modifying photos instead of drawing from scratch etc) happened with Mariah May's merch/titantron too, made by her long term merch designer.

The design that became her titantron graphic was originally a piece of merch art people claimed was AI. The designer had to explain their process of working from a photo and adding texture/pattern assets etc. It doesn't look drawn because it's not, but that doesn't automatically make it AI.

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.

Congrats to the Mariners on winning the Battle of the Somme of baseball games. I think the Jays will have a tougher time against them because they will not be fueled by pure liquid Yankee hatred. Mariners are downright likeable.

Okay wait Mohamed Fahmy, the designer, shared these progress pics on twitter today, and he included the paisley lining of Hangman's jacket and the black wrist tape on his left hand and thumb (but they're hidden covered by the text in the final design rip) like holy shit the details are so good???

A photo showing the three version progression from line art to colouring to final product for the Hangman illustration.

Close up of the final Hangman illustration of him holding his jacket open to show the AEW Men's World championship belt, and there's the paisley lining of his fringed leather jacket, the wrist tape on one hand, details of the belt design, and the zipper of the jacket, all things that are covered by his name in the final poster design.
