The AI bubble was inflated based on the idea that we need bigger models that both are trained and run on bigger and even larger GPUs. A company came along that has undermined the narrative - ways both substantive and questionable - and now the market panicked that $200bn got wasted on AI capex
Can someone explain it to me like I'm stupid?

I can't think of a bigger gap between spin and fact as the one between "the opposition are subverting democracy" and "the government want to sit on both government and opposition benches"

Funny how FF election manifesto said the OTB would be amended.
Now it's going to be scrapped and apparently replaced by a much weaker alternative.
These people are professional liars.

Absolutely farce with the Independent TG being basically allowed to be government and opposition at the same time. Verona Murphy is unfit for role of Ceann Comhairle. Profoundly anti-democratic stuff, enabled by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael

The idea that Barry Heneghan will be a government junior whip but will take Opposition speaking time is clearly farcical.
The same applies to the other Independents who have pledged to support the government.
This is a political trick designed to squeeze the actual opposition.
