  • now that the market demand for horses is no longer based on actual horsepower, horses can render the service of “just being themselves” for those who appreciate that most

    hmmm… contradicting the corporatist theory that technology/automation/AI has always resulted in more employment, the employment level of horses has decreased significantly… so let us all welcome those who will appreciate our use as glue ingredients.





  • follow up on this… xAI appears to have raised $18B in funding rounds. But November 2024 was at $50B, December 2024 was $40B. X’s ownership of xAI, caused its interest expense on high debt levels to rise to $1B/year (debt levels approaching close to $20B estimated)

    It is a major stretch to value xAI higher than the $50B peak. Chinese open source models released have depressed overall US AI stocks, and xAI has major cash burn in implementing its model, and Musk has ever increasing brand hatred culminating in government persecution threats to anyone who could say something negative about him or his companies that becomes propaganda fuel for actual damage to his vehicles/dealerships.
