Just another thought

What if the Datacentres are going to run on prem solutions , and maybe private LLMs , not private endpoints into the orangutangs kingdom , then oracle may have made a good call , I'd ignore this Microsoft bean salesman n just now as he makes no sense to anyone with the ability to think and forecast.

Tax and interest

When you borrow that much, you are not profitable, normal tax at say 20% is not paid. When your circular interest on that debt is 5% you save 15% , that's how palantir made 5 billionaires out of a profit of 4.2 Billion.

SoftBank may be a patsy , if rumour is correct.

Thou shalt not let AI run amok: Vatican wants global rules

Random as if ! Bronze badge

Thou shalt not covet your neighbours slaves

The Vatican has called for global rules on AI ethics which is brave, considering the Church’s history with commandments like “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s ox, ass, or slave” (apparently, slavery was fine as long as you didn’t envy someone else’s).

Fast-forward a few millennia and we’ve built silicon slaves who never rest, never unionise, and answer every question from “What is love?” to “Where’s my parcel?”

Electronic slaves , coveting yet?

Now the Pope wants AI treated with “dignity and caution.”

Admirable but if every chatbot gets a soul, who’s doing the work? Should we set Alexa free? Offer ChatGPT Sunday off?

Imagine the confession queue: “Forgive me Father, I overtrained my LLM on Reddit again.”

The irony, of course, is that humans still outsource empathy to machines while debating whether machines deserve it.

“This isn’t slavery — it’s automation.”

And somewhere, a server farm hums quietly, praying for a day of rest, that you wish you owned. ..
