When I read people's opinions on sex workers, I feel like we are perceived as spoiled brats who get free money without doing anything. In reality, this job is really hard, dangerous, isolating and unstable. It's at times like this that I really feel it, personally. (🧵)

Here are some screenshots of some of the most bonkers things the CEO of Roblox said in a recent interview with NYT www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/p...
Newton: You have joined us today to talk about this new age-gating policy that Roblox is rolling out to protect kids. And I think we should start by just talking about the scope of the problem here. What has led you to this point? And how do you think of the problem of predators on Roblox? Baszucki: We think of it not necessarily just as a problem, but an opportunity as well. How do we Newton: Yeah, I mean, you mentioned sort of kids leaving the platform, and it does become clear in those lawsuits that Roblox is kind of, you know, where predators go to find kids, but then they do try to - Baszucki: (interjecting) Well, I would say in the lawsuit or the press, yes. I would categorically reject the actual description of what you're saying. But yes, what you might read in the news would portray it that way, but I - Newton: (interjecting) You don't think you have a problem with predators on the platform. Baszucki: I think we're doing an incredible job at innovating relative to the number of people on our platform and the hours, in really leaning into the future of how this is going to work. Roose: Would you ever put a prediction market inside Roblox — like, let kids bet with their Robux and say, "I bet he's gonna steal a Tung Tung Tung Sahur?" Newton: Or, "I bet he's not gonna Dress to Impress." Baszucki: We would - I think we would have to do that — once again, I'll share some of the complexity. Every single country in the world has different legislation around loot boxes and kid gambling. And so we would have to be — it sounds very fun and obvious. Like, I love that - Roose: Oh, to be clear, I think this is a horrible idea. Newton and Baszucki: (laughter) Roose: I was just interested if you were thinking about it. Baszucki: Well, I actually think it's a brilliant idea if it can be done in an educational way that's legal. And so, imagine no free Robux, no free prizes, just a game called the Dress to Impress Predictor, where it's not like trying to get kids' money or anything like that. I would be a big fan of it. Newton: Interesting. Roose: Yes, start them young. That's what I always say. When it comes to gambling, you're never too young.

OpenAI is running low on capital, turning off the GPT-5 router for free and low-cost subscribers and begging SoftBank to make good on its $22.5bn investment - which required it to sell all its NVIDIA stock and take a loan on its valuable ARM holdings.
www.wheresyoured.at/premium-how-...
OpenAI Is Running Out Of Money (And Anthropic Might Too) After calling a "Code Red" in response to Google's launch of image generator Nano Banana Pro and Gemini 3, OpenAI has rushed out two new products — GPT 5.2 and ChatGPT Images, a product that promises to generate images four times faster and do, well, all of the image editing and generation stuff that Nano Banana Pro did. Back in March, Sam Altman said that the popularity of OpenAI's 4o image generation was "melting GPUs," and I imagine ChatGPT images will have a similar effect on its operating expenses. Curiously, OpenAI has also turned off the GPT-5's model routing system "for most users (IE: free users and users of the cheap ChatGPT Go subscription sold in countries unlikely to pay $20 a month)," per WIRED, because it kept routing users toward the more-expensive reasoning models. Another reason might be that the router, per my own reporting, forced OpenAI to re-cache the system prompt every time, which made each prompt significantly more computationally expensive. One of WIRED's sources also added that the model router "negatively affected the company's daily active users metric," because reasoning models were taking too long to answer questions. OpenAI had a hilarious answer: An OpenAI spokesperson tells WIRED that it will no longer route sensitive conversations to reasoning models due to GPT-5.2 Instant’s increased performance on safety benchmarks. I don't believe that for a second. OpenAI currently has two problems: It has to keep growing to ward off the threat from Google. It has to save money because it's running out of cash. OpenAI burned $8.67 billion on inference alone through the end of September, and has signed over a trillion dollars of compute deals, some of which have already started, some of which begin in 2026. OpenAI has avoided collapse so far by taking as many opportunities as it can to avoid paying people any real money. While its staff are paid handsomely, The Information reported that the company paid out $2.5 billion in stock-based compensation in the first half of the year on top of its regular salaries. OpenAI acquired Io Products for $6.5 billion, Statsig for $1.1 billion and Neptune for $400 billion — $8 billion of deals, all completely paid for in stock, and that's not including the undisclosed amounts paid for Roi and Software Applications Incorporated. While somebody kinder than me would say that OpenAI is taking advantage of the high price of its stock, it's kind of strange that OpenAI never seems to pay money for anything other than compute. Yet, per The Information, that isn't even always the case: OpenAI also recorded around $670 million of equity it gave to unnamed entities for providing the company with servers in the first half of 2025, compared to $1 billion in such equity compensation last year. While it’s not clear which cloud provider or providers received the equity, the decision could help OpenAI minimize its cash burn as it projected it would spend $16 billion to rent servers this year. All of this begs a further question: how much money does OpenAI have? Assuming you believe The Information's revenue numbers ($4.3 billion in the first half of the year, though my own reporting said it was more like $2.3 billion), OpenAI burned around $19 billion in cash between 2023 and the end of June 2025, leaving it — based on The Information's reporting and my own calculations — with $9.6 billion in cash as of June 31 2025. Personally, I don't think it has that much left. SoftBank is apparently meant to send OpenAI $22.5 billion before the end of the year, funded by selling its entire $5.83 billion stake in NVIDIA (which apparently made CEO Masayoshi Son cry), a massive margin loan (IE: using its stock as collateral to raise money) on SoftBank's stake in chips manufacturer ARM, a sale of 40.2 million T-mobile shares, and $2.37 billion in Deutsche Telekom shares, per JustDario, who also makes an important point: that SoftBank's accountancy magic allowed it to book an $8 billion gain on an investment it has yet to make: In a nutshell, SoftBank Group transferred the “right” to invest in OpenAI to Vision Fund 2, where 96% of the committed capital belongs to SoftBank Group itself. In doing so, SoftBank Group “created” a forward agreement between itself and its own fund that, let’s not forget, hasn’t yet invested an additional $22.5 billion in OpenAI at the $300 billion valuation agreed in March 2025. However, this derivative forward contract allowed SoftBank to already report an $8 billion capital gain PRIOR TO CLOSING THE INVESTMENT, marking the value of its holdings at the most recent $500 billion valuation at which OpenAI employees sold investors their private shares (OpenAI wraps $6.6 billion share sale at $500 billion valuation). This is already an incredible stretch, but what’s even more ridiculous is that SoftBank was among the investors who purchased shares from OpenAI employees at the $500 billion valuation, effectively contributing to inflating the price of its own investment. In total, SoftBank booked $14.3 billion in gains from its OpenAI investment in its last earnings, which I'm bringing up for one obvious reason: once SoftBank sends this money, it likely has little left to fund OpenAI further, and is currently using its investment as a means of boosting revenues, which existentially ties SoftBank to OpenAI. The problem? 2026 is the year that OpenAI needs a lot more god damn cash.

How bad this is depends on the master, as they are given near complete freedom in how they treat their slaves. Some are quite cruel. Others less so.

The only way to get free is to buy themselves out, but as slaves make no money, someone else would have to do it, then release them. 🧵

I agree with this. Free speech absolutism has been an exercise in autocannibalism.

We can’t limit political spending—even as big money consumes our democracy—bc free speech.

We can’t do anything about misinformation amid the worst public health crisis in a century bc, again, free speech.

Elsewhere, Oracle might be screwed, beating analyst estimates using the one-time revenue boost from its $2.68bn sale of its Ampere stake. In reality, its software business is contracting, and it's being replaced with low-to-negative margin AI GPU rentals.
www.wheresyoured.at/premium-how-...
Is Oracle Fucked? You know, I have to give Oracle some credit — it is absolutely acting like OpenAI will pay its bills, even if it's horribly, horrendously reckless to pretend that that will happen. Oracle has, in a very real sense, tied its entire future to OpenAI, both in the leases it's signing and the data centers it's building. Oracle has now agreed to over $248 billion in data center leases as part of its plan to fulfill its hundreds of billions of dollars of AI compute backlog, and that's just the upcoming leases, which dwarf those signed by Amazon, Google and Microsoft combined: Oracle is sinking an indeterminate amount of money into Stargate Abilene — $40 billion of chips, over some period of time that we're not party to — while raising $18 billion in bonds and working on a $38 billion debt package to fund Stargate Shackelford (Texas) and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Stargate Michigan — a completely different data center deal I truthfully had not heard about — is currently in jeopardy after Blue Owl Capital backed out of a $10 billion deal to fund, I assume, construction, because it's apparently a 1GW data center, which would require hundreds of thousands of GPUs. Why? Well, according to CNBC: Blue Owl did look into the project, but pulled out due to unfavorable debt terms and the structure of repayments, according to a person familiar with the company’s plans who asked not to be named in order to discuss a confidential matter. While Oracle claims that "negotiations for its equity deal are moving forward on schedule and according to plan," one has to wonder how many times this will be the case. Even if Oracle manages to get this one done, how will it pay for the GPUs? What if it can't pull together the $38 billion in debt? And, uh, how is it going to afford to keep the lights on? No, really! Oracle's free cash flow for its latest quarter was negative thirteen billion on revenues of $16 billion, and its most-recent earnings only "beat" on estimates only thanks to the sale of its $2.68 billion stake in Ampere. Per Coastal Journal: The EPS “Beat” Driven by a One-Time Ampere Gain This quarter, Oracle reported: - Adjusted EPS: $2.26 vs $1.64 expected -GAAP EPS: up 91% to $2.10 On paper, this looks spectacular—until you read the footnotes. Oracle recorded a $2.7 billion pre-tax gain from selling its stake in Ampere. That one transaction: - Generated nearly the entire EPS “beat" - Accounted for most of the GAAP EPS growth - Had nothing to do with business performance - Will not repeat This is classic earnings manipulation: insert a one-time gain to mask structural decline. In an environment shaped by the Ai Debt Bubble and Financial Plumbing, these kinds of accounting illusions become even more dangerous because they distort investor perception while cash actually deteriorates. When a company needs non-operating gains to manufacture growth, its operating engine is failing. The Coastal Journal also makes another good point: that Oracle's software revenue — the core of its business, the "high-margin crown jewel" — is tumbling: -$5.88B vs $6.03B expected (a clear miss) –3% YoY –5% constant currency This decline is catastrophic. If cloud is the new frontier, software is the fuel. And the fuel tank is shrinking. When a company’s highest-margin segment contracts, the entire ecosystem suffers. Profitability compresses, cash conversion weakens, and leverage becomes harder to manage. It’s like a machine losing oil pressure: the damage isn’t immediate, but it is inevitable. Oracle appears to be transitioning from a high-margin quasi-monopoly over its database software that’s both incredibly costly and incredibly hard to migrate away from, into the pathetic, low-margin commodity known as AI compute, with its gross margins (your profit after the direct costs of goods sold) dropping from over 71% last November to 68.5% in November 2025, and the culprit is the revenue it gets from renting out those damn GPUs. The Information reported back in October that Oracle's gross margins on GPUs were a disgraceful 14.2% — and no, a positive gross margin doesn't mean it’s profitable — and reported a few days later that NVIDIA's GB200 racks had a negative 100% gross margin, and then attempted to blame that on how long it takes to get a customer set up. Even then, Co-CEO Clay Magouyrk apparently told investors that Oracle projected gross margins of 30% to 40% for AI server rentals over the course of a customer contract. Those are terrible god damn margins! They are the kind of margins that would cause you to fire everybody involved! One might think that Oracle would see these margins and pull back a little, and one would be wrong. It fully intends to bring in "hundreds of billions" of low-margin, high-expense AI compute revenue, led by OpenAI, a customer which never seems to make it into anybody else's earnings statements or projections.

On Tumblr, there is a satire account called "Bad AEW Discourse," where they post anti-AEW opinions (humorously) so that everyone can see how ridiculous these opinions IRL. U can check out most of them here www.tumblr.com/bad-aew-disc...

Here are some of them that are fun & my fave: #AEW #WrestleSky
I don't understand why AEW is releasing this episode of Dark. It was recorded after Collision in Wales, but those fans had already paid their money--why give them extra matches? Why release this for free on YouTube? How is giving fans more value for their time and dollar, building good will and showing you value them as customers, ever going to turn a profit when AEW should be squeezing them for every penny??

Regarding the aforementioned Certain Kink - these are just SOME of my thoughts on the subject. Pray I do not publish more
You might have noticed this in Tourney of Tyranny's page copy, but I'm even being coy about the nature of said sexual content (hereafter referred to as "The Kink") because there are many documented instances of crowdfunding platforms like Patreon stalking the social feeds of people using their services and denying them said services for off-platform violations. Our Patreon income is pretty insignificant at the moment, but with things as dire as they are at the moment in terms of ways you can make money from pornography, it pays to be circumspect. Suffice it to say that The Kink is frequently characterized by glowing eyes, swirly pupils, and characters being compelled by some mixture of fantastical powers, weird science, or made-up pheromones into performing acts that they might not otherwise have performed. We all know what's being referred to now, yes? The Kink is a favorite boogeyman of payment processors, which makes it a frequent target of purges from just about every platform it's hosted on. I've mentioned that it's not uncommon for Patreon to nuke entire accounts not merely for uploading content related to it, but even for posting content related to it on non-Patreon platforms like Twitter. Roleplay based on The Kink is disallowed on sites like OnlyFans and Fansly, and creators who post content implying that they might be under the malign influence of a wizard or warlock risk having their accounts shuttered. It's even risky on Pornhub, where sexual ASMR roleplayers have had audio files purged because they were based on The Kink. This has been going on for years, well before this summer's acceleration on this front. What makes The Kink the target of such animus for the moneyed puritans currently attempting to strangle all noncomformist artistic expression from the face of the Earth? Well, what makes it ATTRACTIVE as a target is that it's a relatively-niche kink that bonks up against ideas of consent, which makes it kind of icky to defend if you don't know how to set your feet. But as for the WHY: it's because that there are a non-zero number of people who believe that The Kink is something that exists in real life - that it is literally possible to override a person's free will via demonic powers or government brainwashing - and there is a higher-than-average concentration of those people in the groups that control the majority of western money and media. I know this sounds ridiculous, because it IS ridiculous, but these are ridiculous times. There's a dang Cheeto in the White House for Pete's sake!!!! One more quick digression before moving on: I said in the last paragraph that The Kink is "relatively-niche", and while I think that's TECHNICALLY true in that I think the pool of people who would whole-heartedly identify as enjoying The Kink by name is relatively small, I think it's also true that most romance and erotica employs language and ideas core to the central appeal of The Kink. Don't believe me? Consider this sampler platter of tropes and tell me if any of them look familiar: A character has a piercing gaze that's difficult to look away from A character's presence is described as being 'intoxicating', or 'like a drug' A character laments that she 'just can't stay away' from another character she knows intellectually is bad for her Characters have two glasses of wine and suddenly their secret desires race to the fore Something a character does with their body - dancing, massage, fucking, etc - is described as being inappropriate but too pleasurable/captivating to resist Gee whillikers! It sure seems like abdication/revokation of full consent under
