If you're wondering why capital keeps burning cash on such a worthless asset it's because its promised them the ability to fire their entire workforce and even though it can't deliver it yet the allure is too strong to stop now
ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”
That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

A secret report – which the WA government itself commissioned – has challenged gas industry and government claims that WA gas will help the world shift from fossil fuels to clean energy.

The Western Australian government is allowing 2% of Western Australia to be fracked… as if that’s not much.
But
2% of Western Australia’s area is approximately 50,598 square kilometres.
That’s about the same size as Costa Rica or Slovakia.
Imagine ALL of Slovakia covered in toxic gas wells.
