"to drive a 10% return on our modeled AI investments through 2030 would require ~$650 billion of annual revenue into perpetuity... which equates to $34.72/month from every current iPhone user"

working on "obtaining" JPMC's "AI Capex - Financing The […]

[Original post on mastodon.social]
The path from here to there will not just be "up and to the right". Our biggest fear would be a repeat of the telecom and fiber buildout experiences, where the revenue curve failed to materialize at a pace that justified continued investment. For now, commentary from large corporates suggests benefits are starting to be realized at scale. More interestingly, OpenAI just publicly commented that they have achieved a $20 billion annualized revenue run-rate already. However, breakthroughs or accelerated efficiency gains - as people initially thought occurred with Deepseek - could drive an overcapacity/dark fiber situation. Big picture, to drive a 10% return on our modeled Al investments through 2030 would require~$650 billion of annual revenue into perpetuity, which is an astonishingly large number. But for context, that equates to 58bp of global GDP, or $34.72/month from every current iPhone user, or $180/ month from every Netflix subscriber. How that is apportioned between corporations, governments and consumers is, of course, a long-term debate. Regardless, even if everything works, there will be (continued) spectacular winners, and probably some equally spectacular losers as well given the amount of capital involved and winner takes all nature of portions of the Al ecosystem. Figure 39: Illustrative Required Revenue Sensitivity Analysis To Meet Select Hudle Rates Return Hardle 4% 6% 8% 10% 12% 14% Required Revenue Per Annum (SBn) $235.0 $360.0 $500.0 $650.0 $810.0 $990.0 % of Global GDP 0.21% 0.32% 0.45% 0.58% 0.73% 0.89% Per Month Cost Every iPhone User $12.55 $19.23 $26.71 $34.72 $43.27 $52.88 Per Month Cost Every Netflix Subscriber $64.93 $99.47 $138.15 $179.60 $223.81 $273.54 Source: J.P. Morgan estimates. Achieving a 10% hurdle rate on investments over the next five years could require on the order of S650 billion of annual revenue or 58bp of global GDP. We have (somewhat cheekily) put that number into further context - that would equate to every Netflix subscriber paying $180/month or every iPhone user globally paying $35/month. To be clear, we don't expect consumers to directly bear the brunt of the return hurdle. Rather, corporations and institutions, as major productivity beneficiaries, are likely to bear a larger share. That said, would this particular user acknowledge that he receives more than $35/month of benefit from AI already in terms of productivity gains? Unambiguously yes.

LOOK AT THAT FRAMING!

(significantly fewer all caps and why the framing is amazing in alt text)

I, um, may have a few (dozen) books on Japanese film.
Opening shot from Kurosawa's Yojimbo A solitary samurai walks away from camera down a dirt path between towering reeds, his figure shrinking into the misty distance with mountains barely visible on the horizon. The black and white cinematography is stark and beautiful. The framing is PURE genius because it tells us everything about the character and story without dialogue. Shooting from behind makes the ronin unknowable. We're following a stranger into $DEITY knows what. The way he's dwarfed by the landscape emphasizes his isolation and insignificance, yet he's the only human element, so he becomes the focus anyway. That tension exudes "wandering masterless samurai". The depth is incredible! The layers of reeds, the worn path, and the distant mountains all create this sense of journey and inevitability. The path itself is hemmed in by reeds taller than a man, claustrophobic despite the open space. It suggests limited choices and unavoidable conflict ahead. This shot establishes the whole film's vibe before anyone speaks: a nobody wanderer in a morally ambiguous world.

There is a common JA4t across all of the Roar Zone IPs:

- 64240_2-4-8-1-3_1440_10

and it suggests these are part of a residential proxy service, so the poor humans who own/use the devices are unwitting pawns.

This is why we can't have nice things.

This memorandum is a follow up to the guidance shared on October 10, October 24, November 4, November 5, and November 7, 2025, regarding Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November 2025. The U.S. Supreme Court granted the U.S. Department of Agriculture an administrative stay of the orders issued by the District Court of Rhode Island in Rhode Island State Council of Churches, et al. v. Rollins, 25-cv-569. Pending any explicit direction to the contrary from Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), States must not transmit full benefit issuance files to EBT processors. Instead, States must continue to process and load the partial issuance files that reflect the 35 percent reduction of maximum allotments detailed in the November 5 guidance. To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025. Please advise the appropriate FNS Regional Office representative of steps taken to correct any actions taken that do not comply with this memorandum. Per 7 CFR 271.7(h), failure to comply with this memorandum may result in USDA taking various actions, including cancellation of the Federal share of State administrative costs and holding States liable for any overissuances that result from the noncompliance. We are committed to keeping you as up to date as possible and appreciate your continued partnership to serve program beneficiaries across the country. State agencies with questions should contact their FNS Regional Office representative. Sincerely, Patrick A.

this got fixed in the posted article, but one of the only things separating trash blogs (like mine) and "professional" "magazine" sites is editors; and, further, editors doing their job.

Screenshot of a MacRumors article titled “Future of Apple Fitness+ ‘Under Review.’” In the final paragraph, the phrase “high church” is highlighted in blue, drawing attention to a likely error or odd phrasing. The sentence reads, “The service apparently suffers from high church and little revenue,” which appears to be a mistaken use of “high church” instead of another intended term.
