Today is the release date for Dread Mondays: A Whisper House Press Horror Anthology! I cowrote a story “Cutting Room” with my Scream Kings Podcast cohost Nathanial J. Darkish and if you dig unsettling found footage horror… this is for you!

Hearing 99% of the spoiled votes just said:

"Third term for MDH."

As there is no distinction in spoiled votes, you can't disprove it.

I don't have the numbers yet, but early indications are that

HH + spoilies < CC

So Quinn is wrong, as usual.

Turns out voting for Catherine Connolly is a rural pursuit.

I too find it interesting how spoiled votes are coming third place in a two-candidate election.

I would recommend Koschei's Thread to people who like the film First Reformed but wish it was also a sci-fi exploration of existential and medical horror.

Character of the year, maybe the decade

Look at me, moderating a panel for the first time. It's more fun than you might think. Thanks @octocon.bsky.social for a great weekend!

'25 Peppercorns' is out now with @mythaxis.bsky.social.

This has been a particularly difficult story for me to publish, both personally and in finding a good home for it. It is deeply personal, but it's also political.

Earth is so weird and beautiful.
What do you mean there are shrimp that are kind of like bees and they have comic book style super powers?!

Why is YouTube obsessed with feeding me AI adverts about tai chi?

I think that’s why you see some CEOs go off and try to randomly be physicists or something else. Having an upsetting amount of money requires justification and if you believe in the just world fallacy then you have to be smart enough to merit all this. Even though you aren’t. So you pretend instead.

Not surprising that CEO types love them. In addition to replacing workers beneath them, they help with the fantasy that their wealth is the result of their genius (or “manifesting success” 😖), rather than the labour of many others and a large degree of luck on their part.

LLMs really reveal susceptibility to magical thinking. A symbolic product (e.g. a work of fiction, a theory of physics) is taken as a guarantor of personal qualities — here, the intellect of a genius physicist. Processes, effort, craft: they don’t matter. LLMs are freight delivery for cargo cults.

The Magnificent 7's Weakpoint: NVIDIA As I write this, NVIDIA is currently sitting at $170 a share — a dramatic reversal of fate after the pummelling it took from the DeepSeek situation in January, which sent it tumbling to a brief late-April trip below $100 before things turned around. The Magnificent 7 stocks — NVIDIA, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Apple, Meta, Tesla and Amazon — make up around 35% of the value of the US stock market, and of that, NVIDIA's market value makes up about 19% of the Magnificent 7. This dominance is also why ordinary people ought to be deeply concerned about the AI bubble. The Magnificent 7 is almost certainly a big part of their retirement plans, even if they’re not directly invested. Back in May, Yahoo Finance's Laura Bratton reported that Microsoft (18.9%), Amazon (7.5%), Meta (9.3%), Alphabet (5.6%), and Tesla (0.9%) alone make up 42.4% of NVIDIA's revenue. The breakdown makes things worse. Meta spends 25% — and Microsoft an alarming 47% — of its capital expenditures on NVIDIA chips, and as Bratton notes, Microsoft also spends money renting servers from CoreWeave, which analyst Gil Luria of D.A.Davidson estimates accounted for $8 billion (more than 6%) of NVIDIA's revenue in 2024. Luria also estimates that neocloud companies like CoreWeave and Crusoe — that exist only to prove AI compute services — account for as much as 10% of NVIDIA's revenue. NVIDIA's climbing stock value comes from its continued revenue growth. In the last four quarters, NVIDIA has seen year-over-year growth of 101%, 94%, 78% and 69%, and, in the last quarter, a little statistic was carefully brushed under the rug: that NVIDIA missed, though narrowly, on data center revenue. This is exactly what it sounds like — GPUs that are used in servers, rather than gaming consoles and PCs (. Analysts estimated it would make $39.4 billion from this category, and NVIDIA only (lol) brought in $39.1 billion. Then again, it could be attributed to its problems in China, esp…

NVIDIA's quarter-over-quarter growth has also become aggressively normal — from 69%, to 59%, to 12%, to 12% again each quarter, which, again, isn't bad (it's pretty great!), but when 88% of your revenue is based on one particular line in your earnings, it's a pretty big concern, at least for me. Look, I'm not a stock analyst, nor am I pretending to be one, so I am keeping this simple: NVIDIA relies not only on selling lots of GPUs each quarter, but it must always, always sell more GPUs the next quarter. 42% of NVIDIA's revenue comes from Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet and Tesla continuing to buy more GPUs. NVIDIA's value and continued growth is heavily reliant on hyperscaler purchases and continued interest in generative AI. The US stock market's continued health relies, on some level, on five or six companies (it's unclear how much Apple buys GPU-wise) spending billions of dollars on GPUs from NVIDIA. An analysis from portfolio manager Danke Wang from January found that the Magnificent 7 stocks accounted for 47.87% of the Russell 1000 Index's returns in 2024 (an index fund of the 1000 highest-ranked stocks on FTSE Russell’s index). In simpler terms, 35% of the US stock market is held up by five or six companies buying GPUs. If NVIDIA's growth story stumbles, it will reverberate through the rest of the Magnificent 7, making them rely on their own AI trade stories. And, as you will shortly find out, there is no AI trade, because generative AI is not making anybody any money.

The entire AI bubble is a mirage - nobody is making a profit and everybody is losing money other than NVIDIA. As a result, NVIDIA is the weakpoint - the AI bubble is based on them selling MORE GPUS every single quarter FOR FOREVER.
