Except they can't.
Oracle is over-committed to data centers that might or might not get paid for. Paramount themselves were already doing shit ($30 billion in debt all by themselves).
If this goes through Paramount/WB would be inexorably linked to the AI bubble.
Fitch responded accordingly.

Remember what I was saying? $80 billion in debt with $30 billion in revenue (not profit) and a $15 billion market cap?
They're dead. Even if they panic and try to spin off all of the properties they just bought, they'll never come close to profitable.
This is why Netflix walked away.

Pokémon Red & Green sold poorly in Japan when they launched in 1996, only catching on months later. Apples and oranges, I know, but this is indicative of the shift in how execs at game publishers, streaming services, and Hollywood studios need instant results or they pull the plug. It's unhealthy.

Given that Tanden was recently going after Platner for antisemitism, I’m pretty sure this is just her pointing to and mocking intra-right infighting and not any kind of endorsement of Fuentes. Its like if I retweeted Trump saying something absurd - I wouldn’t expect anyone to take that as pro-Trump

So the F-15 is the most successful combat aircraft in modern history. 104 air combat engagements with enemy aircraft. 104 victories. Zero losses. A perfect record.
Only 6 F-15s have been lost to ground based fire in all history. 3 of those 6 were friendly fire under this Operation Epstein Fury.🤡

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

He doesn’t care about freedom for Iranians, you haven’t spoken about the Epstein files for 24 hrs, it’s been effective. How many service members must die to cover up Donald Trumps crimes.

Again, these authorities are the same ones the NSA strategically reinterpreted commonly understood words to mean very different things in order to enable mass surveillance. And OpenAI's agreement is "sure, yeah, obey those same authorities."

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

You know, when I was a kid, I didn't think we were living in the Digimon timeline. We use to go "Computers will never get that strong". Entire plots about hackers & fantastic digital spaces where anything could happen. Looking back it's really eroded the identity of the show. That's just reality now
