Busy day today but note the U of Michigan consumer sentiment survey just reported its lowest reading in its 65 year history. Well done Donald!

While I do not have the full extent of its revenues, it is obvious that OpenAI's costs are dramatically higher - by several billion dollars - than previously reported. Similarly, the implied revenues are much lower than reported.

I am deeply concerned.
www.wheresyoured.at/oai_docs/#wh...
What This All Means Due to the sensitivity and significance of this information, I am taking a far more blunt approach with this piece. Based on the information in this piece, OpenAI’s costs and revenues are potentially dramatically different to what we believed. The Information reported in October 2024 that OpenAI’s revenue could be $4 billion, and inference costs $2 billion based on documents “which include financial statements and forecasts,” and specifically added the following: OpenAI appears to be burning far less cash than previously thought. The company burned through about $340 million in the first half of this year, leaving it with $1 billion in cash on the balance sheet before the fundraising effort. But the cash burn could accelerate sharply in the next couple of years, the documents suggest. I do not know how to reconcile this with what I am reporting today. In the first half of CY2024, based on the information in the documents, OpenAI’s inference costs were $1.295 billion, and its revenues at least $934 million. Indeed, it is tough to reconcile what I am reporting with much of what has been reported about OpenAI’s costs and revenues. OpenAI’s inference spend with Microsoft Azure between CY2024 and Q3 CY2025 was $12.43 billion. That is an astonishing figure, one that dramatically dwarfs any and all reporting, which, based on my analysis, suggested that OpenAI spent $2 billion on inference in 2024 and $2.5 billion through H1 CY2025. In other words, inference costs are nearly triple that reported elsewhere. Similarly, OpenAI’s extrapolated revenues are dramatically different to those reported. While we do not have a final tally for 2024, the indicators presented in the documents viewed contrast starkly with the reported predictions from that year. Both reports of OpenAI’s 2024 revenues (CNBC, The Information) are from the same year and are projections of potential final totals, though The Information’s story about OpenAI’s H1 CY2025 revenues said that “OpenAI generated $4.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2025, about $16% more than it generated all of last year,” which would bring us to $3.612 billion in revenue, or $1.145 billion more than are implied by OpenAI’s revenue share numbers paid to Microsoft. I do not have an answer for inference, other than I believe that OpenAI is spending far more money on inference than we were led to believe, and that the current numbers reported do not resemble those in the documents. Based on these numbers, it appears that OpenAI may be the single-most cash intensive startup of all time, and that the cost of running large language models may not be something that can be supported by revenues. Even if revenues were to match those that had been reported, OpenAI’s inference spend on Azure consumes them, and appears to scale linearly above revenue. I also cannot reconcile these numbers with the reporting that OpenAI will have a cash burn of $9 billion in CY2025. On inference alone, OpenAI has already spent $8.67 billion through Q3 CY2025. Similarly, I cannot see a path for OpenAI to hit its projected $13 billion in revenue by the end of 2025, nor can I see on what basis Mr. Altman could state that OpenAI will make “well more” than $13 billion this year.

I just remembered this from Glenn Kessler 3 months ago
The Bottom Line As we have documented, 17 women have claimed Trump engaged in sexual misconduct. A Manhattan jury found that Trump sexually abused and defamed one woman on our list. But no credible allegation has emerged to connect Trump to any of Epstein's crimes. If the full file is ever released, we are confident that no connection would be found. Rest assured - if Trump were prominently mentioned, it would have been leaked by now.

Trump is so interconnected with so many strains of international crimes and bribes (most of which we knew already, but alas), it is not a radical idea for an opposition party to run on Full Reversal: Everything he did undone, judicial picks fired, pardons revoked. How can any of it be trusted?

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Legally speaking I have questions. After the Paterno/Sandusky fracas, every single faculty- and staffmember of the entire Penn State system legally became a mandated reporter. Was no one in the entire NYT ecosystem a mandated reporter (even for some other gig--it doesn't stop at the doorway)?

I don't think people really internalize the knowledge that in 1860, the outright majority of the populations of South Carolina and Mississippi was enslaved, as well as over 40% of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana, and over 30% of North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. Staggering numbers!

Are you kidding me, they *literally* used the Situation Room to plot how to block the Epstein files
Screenshot of a CNN headline reading “Exclusive: Trump administration holds Situation Room meeting over House effort to force release of all of DOJ’s Epstein files”. There is a photo of Trump’s big vacuous face looking scowly about something.

To recap: Jeffrey Epstein offered a NY Times reporter photos taken in Epstein's kitchen of Donald Trump and girls in bikinis *and* implored the NYT reporter to put this information in the public discourse in 2015

What did the NY Times editors know about this offer?
