The "Warm Shell" Crisis: GenAI Burning the Planet for Porn, Slop and Theft
Physics has finally hit the GenAI hype train. Microsoft has confirmed a "warm shell" shortage, leaving billions of dollars in chips gathering dust in warehouses. But the real cost isn't lost corporate profits; it is a "vampire grid" reviving coal plants, UK housing projects blocked by data centres, and drinking water wasted to cool deepfake generators. The digital bubble has hit a physical wall.

The news that Meta is planning to buy Google’s AI chips is the signal that the NVIDIA infinite growth narrative is dead. Here is the breakdown of why the whales like OpenAI and Meta are ditching Nvidia for Google TPUs and custom silicon, and why the AI bubble is about to leave Larry Ellison holding the bag in 2026 - 2027.

The Dangerous "Nvidia Made Record Q3, AI Bubble Fears Over" Narrative
Nvidia's latest earnings report has sparked a dishonest new narrative: that the AI bubble fears were unfounded. This ignores the reality of how enterprise hardware buying actually works. We are looking at a receipt for panic-buying that happened in late 2024, not proof of sustainable demand today. The numbers are massive, but they are fueled by a closed loop of cloud credits and vendor financing, not organic profit.

The absolute Brainrot-state of an average GenAI subreddit Part 2
The OpenAI lawsuits are a beautiful thing to watch. A half-trillion-dollar company built on mass copyright theft is finally getting its day in court, and it's a complete clown show of deleted evidence and pathetic excuses. But if you want to see the real brain-rot, you have to venture into the digital asylum of the GenAI subreddits. It's here, amongst the true believers, that the defence of corporate piracy becomes a holy crusade, fueled by some of the most stunningly stupid logic known to man.

Nadella's $96.5M Paycheck: A Reward for Layoffs, Price Hikes, and War Contracts
The blueprint for securing a $96.5 million paycheck at Microsoft in 2025 seems simple enough. First, you hike prices on key services like Microsoft 365. Then, you fire over 15,000 employees in waves throughout the year. Finally, you take money from the Israeli military for AI contracts. Satya Nadella’s record compensation proves that this cynical playbook delivers exactly the results the board wants to see.

The absolute Brainrot-state of an average GenAI subreddit
The online discourse surrounding GenAI, copyright, and IP theft is a cesspit of flawed logic. A recent Reddit thread about Japan's request for OpenAI to stop training on its anime and manga provides a perfect case study. This post dismantles the most common braindead arguments, from the deliberate misreading of Japanese copyright law to the cowardly 'China will do it anyway' excuse, exposing the brainrot at the heart of the average GenAI defender's mindset.

UK OSA: Already More Harm than Good
The Online Safety Act's first victims are in. The recent Discord breach, leaking 70,000 government IDs collected for age verification, isn't a bug in the system...it's a feature. This predictable disaster is exactly what security experts warned about, and it's just the tip of the iceberg of harms this legislation is actively causing UK citizens, from geoblocking to the slow death of the free web.

Wow, Capcom is so generous with MHWilds!
Ever wondered what it takes for a multi-billion dollar company like Capcom to finally notice their flagship game is a complete dumpster fire? It's not the abysmal PC performance, the "Overwhelmingly Negative" Steam reviews, or even a biblical 98% drop in players for Monster Hunter Wilds. No, it took a quarterly sales report so catastrophic it couldn't be ignored. Now, after months of silence, they're suddenly rushing out an "early" update and pretending it's a generous gift for the fans. Don't buy the PR spin. Lets take a look into the hard data, the cynical marketing, and the blatant gaslighting behind Capcom's bungled response to the Monster Hunter Wilds backlash.
