Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

I watch a lot of the NRL. Its faster and more skilful. The Aussies should always win due to the competitiveness of their game but I would have hoped that we would have caught them a bit cold and at least made a game of it. Sadly not.

Great to get 3 points #lufc, but the best things from today for me are:
1. We have a centre forward who can score "centre forward" type goals
2. We have a person who can hit the goal instead of the stand from outside the box
Reasons to be cheerful!
