While most bullish outlooks are premised on economic reacceleration, it’s difficult to ignore the market’s reliance on AI capex. In market-pricing terms, we believe we’re closer to the seventh inning than the first, and several developments indicate we may be entering the later phases of the boom. First, AI hyperscaler free-cash-flow growth has turned negative. Second, price competition in the "monopoly-feeder businesses” seems to be accelerating. Finally, recent deal-making smacks of speculation and vendor-financing strategies of old.

If a race of aliens with an IQ of 300 came to Earth

Oh noes, the aliens scored a meaningless number on the eugenicist bullshit scale, whatever shall we do

Next you'll be telling me that the aliens can file their TPS reports in under 12 parsecs

It's practically a proverb that you don't ask a scientist to explain how a "psychic" is pulling off their con, because scientists are accustomed to fair play; you call a magician.

I got bored and flipped to the replies. The first was this by "TERFs 'r' us":

Excellent overview!

This is transhumanism.

This is going to destroy humanity, @elonmusk.

Put the breaks on!

I hate transhumanism because it's eugenics for 1990s Wired magazine.

You hate it because it has "trans" in the name.

We are not the same.

Let's be honest: These are exactly the sort of people who will stick their dicks into the Torment Nexus.
