Oracle may not, they are way over leveraged. Ellison caught FOMO disease. The Fed. Gov. cutting them a deal with the Department of DEFENSE was throwing them a fish to help them get by a disaster, but it's still peanuts compared to what Ellison sunk into the craze. And their reputed expected winnings are from AI companies, just the companies that will take it in the neck if China AI steals their markets.

Unstable:
      1. ditching American allies (just about every one) over perceived slights to Dear Leader,
      2. attempting to curtail voting because they might vote Democrat but positing the inane travesty that "illegal" immigrants are voting (no evidence),
      3. promoting fossil fuels while the American West dries out, forest fires in Canada and the U.S., glaciers worldwide shrinking, Europe's rivers disappearing, all the while claiming global warming is a hoax. . . . even the planet appears in on the Conspiracy,
      4. promoting the South and slave owning as beneficial for blacks,
      5. coercing soldiers to take testosterone supplements because some idiot in charge gets his science from FOX news,
      6. judges telling the Justice Department there is no more regular order, i.e., presuming the Justice Dept. isn't lying their asses off and demanding evidence,
      7. electing a convicted fraudster and flim-flam man pres, even after also convicted of sexual abuse and then convicting him again for defamation against the woman he was convicted of abusing,
      8. ditching environmental rules because pollution is good for everyone, especially when the polluters pay kickbacks to el Bunko,
      9. standing up a Geheime Staatspolizei* to kidnap people off the street because they look brown or have been living here too long "without papers", and sometimes killing people in the process,
    10. shaking down companies for contributions to Dear Leader in exchange for gov. favors thus increasing his total take to over $2.8 Billion (that we know about) in under two years and turning the gov. into protection racket,
    11. Setting up a Fascist state with the gov. taking stakes in private companies thus protecting them from competition and creating an uneven playing field,
    12. Setting up some whack-job of a commission that claimed billions in saved tax money when in fact it was less than $50 million but cost much more in side-effects,
    13. fucking up the lives of millions of migrants whose only crime was to come here, get a job and see their kids do better than they, in short, the crime of believing in the American Dream,
    14. Pop. the fed. bench with crooked judges who will bend over backwards and forwards (they are not particular) to satisfy the el Bunko's whims,
    15. Starting was with Iran and losing the Strait of Hormuz to them causing gas prices to be jacked up,
    16. Curtailing alternative energy so Americans are tethered to the oil market with little means of escape,
    17. promoting data centers everywhere with their pollution and noise and jacking up peoples' electric bills,
    18. paying off those nice billionaires who desperately need more money to make up for their short dick length,
    19. feeding those nutjobs in Silicon Valley who really want some sort of Singularity and setting the world on a path to environmental catastrophe because they figure the their Singularity machine will discover warp drive and allow them to escape the catastrophe they caused,
    20. making America reviled throughout the free world but loved by dictatorships,
    21. pardoning criminals who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 because el Bunko's ego. . . .shrinkage.

Nope, no stability issues here!

* Geheime Staatspolizei is the long name of the Gestapo

Only because we do not cost in the damage to environment for carbon based fuels. A lot of good all that energy does for us if the U.S. turns into an arid desert. The American West is well on its way.

"The modern left exists to funnel billions and billions of dollars from taxpayers to billionaire oligarchs. "

What a crock. You have nothing with which to back that up. Repeating FOX talking points is rather lame. Hell, I can just listen to a White House press conference for those.

"Or technocrats who believe they're going to become gods... and want the rest of us dead."

Yep, pay attention to what Andreessen, Thiel, Elmo, Ellison (he and his sprog), Kurzwei, etc. and their fellow travelers are saying. They want the world to put a data center in every backyard and some (most?) insist we are not using enough energy. Their idea is that we're destined for the "stars" and that they are sooooo (*^(&*% intelligent that they deserve to have their brain patterns (what the hell are those, precisely?) transplanted to silicon so they can survive the coming ecological disaster they are intent on creating. They cannot get their heads around that you cannot get to the stars from here. And even were they to send their bot selves there, the bots would suffer hardware breakdown long before they crashed into a destination star.

They are the dregs of society, they understand nothing of import. Frequently, they have no science degree and get their "science" from tired old Sci Fi mags and movies. Now they have enough money to swing elections to force feed their ignorance to the electorate. They themselves are quite stupid, and there is no fixing stupidity. Stupidity is not equivalent to ignorance but they excel at both.

"government gene-editing experiment. " No, they started development back in the Bush II era and have been systematically improved. It is immaterial whether they were made using gene-editing. Hell, your parents were busing gene editing when you were conceived. I presume you were conceived and not actually from a chicken's egg hatched under toad....you are not a basilisk are you?

One side effect of mRNA vaccines is anti-vaxxers hanging from street lamps claiming the shots are altering your DNA. Apparently they cannot tell the difference between DNA and mRNA. Where's JFK Jr. when we want to see some dumb-ass quote?

"Capital One bank has asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit from the Trump Organization over the closure of hundreds of bank accounts back in 2021, arguing in new papers that the shutdowns were the product of a monthslong anti-money-laundering review — not retaliation for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, as the Trump family businesses have claimed."

"The Trump Organization alleges Capital One moved to distance itself from Donald Trump after the Capitol riot and that the bank's cited anti-money-laundering rationale was invented after the fact to cover for that decision."

"Capital One has flatly denied those assertions, with its lawyers arguing in the new filing that the Trump's theory rests on "cherry-picked quotations unsupported by the full context" of the bank's own records, and that nothing in the complaint shows the anti-money-laundering explanation was a cover story. "

So what we have here is yet another case of el Bunko getting caught with his pants down and attempting to shoot the messenger. Banks, according to the Law, can cancel your accounts at any time for any reason. And his conviction for fraud in NYS is a matter of Court Records.

This is what happens when you have an uneducated electorate. Even a lot of the educated ones are willing to swap their the planet for money in their bank account. Explain to them that if the planet gets screwed, they will lose their bank account. They'll have no problem agreeing with you and then go invest in petrol companies.

Even now a good portion of the electorate support la Presidenta after seeing him careen from screwup to screwup all the while grifting to the tune of Billions. However he's just a muppet, it is really the Project 2025 people with their collective hand up his backside.

la Presidenta bankrupted a casino among his other screwups, that's some fancy CEOing there. Capitol One decided to close his accounts because they suspected him of money laundering. He's now whining about Capitol One and JP Morgan, threatening lawsuits. But banks do not need a reason to close anyone's account, but in these cases, the banks supplied a reason. He just doesn't like the reason.

His "company" accounting agency backed out of certifying his company's books and told the judge in his NY fraud case the Court could not rely upon their figures for his company....for the previous 10 years.

"Someone should explain supply and demand to Governor Abbott." In his mind, energy = burning hydrocarbons. If Texas had lots of coal, they'd happily burn that. They do not give a flying rat's ass about the planet. And there's sizeable contingent of Christian Nutjobs down there that figure if we screw up the Earth badly enough, then Jesus will return. It's all in the Bible, along with all their science.

Actually, that rampage on Spain's territory might have been bought and paid for by the U.S.'s alleged administration. The U.S. recently gave Morocco $40 Million. Given the alleged administration's ability to foment problems and Spain's refusal to help la Presidenta in his stupid war, it is well within the possibility that the Ceuta crossing was part of a campaign by Stephen Miller to claim that is what is in store for the U.S. They know Americans do not pay close attention to the news, all they need do is tarnish Spain with it. Think of it as a two-fer, they get to screw Spain and use it for brownie points to the Maggots in the U.S. who will buy anything the alleged administration tells them.

Now it is just another summer day. Wait for a few years and you'll be thinking current summer days were relatively cool and you are sucking the Ogallala aquifer dry. From wikipedia on that aquifer: "a University of Texas projection in 2025 has indicated up to 70% of the Texas Panhandle will become unusable within 20 years if current pumping rates continue"

and

"Regardless, by 2024 voluntary conservation districts in Texas saw less than 15% of eligible farmers participating in incentive programs"

So we can expect the aquifer to get sucked dry ever faster. Suddenly those hurricanes dumping flood water start looking appealing. That is if your Christian nutjobs like Joel Osteen do not insist on closing their churches during a flood event because the proles might get his floor dirty.

Well that, but Jobs said it best: MS has no taste. I would add, Google even less so.

"The question is: do we have enough high level matematicians to verify LLM claims?" Well, we'll be generating fewer of them as time goes on. Bean counters will unite and declare that AI can solve math problems so we do not need any mathematicians. The alleged administration never saw a math problem it could understand and has been busy cutting research funding that doesn't directly contribute to producing widgets for its industry friends.

To make matters worse, AI will find its way into schools. So Johnny and Sally will turn over their budding reasoning skills to a )&(&% machine and fail to develop them themselves. Whence we will get fewer people at uni able and, most importantly, willing to go into mathematics. Meanwhile the Chinese are not making the same stupid mistake. But Bubba down home will still feel superior to those damn fereigners because they do not look like White Americans.

The consequence is in future we will have fewer mathematicians to verify LLM claims.

Oh, you mean like have the government take over religion? The U.S. is slowly standardizing on the most morally corrupt and ethically challenged version pushed by the Evangelicals and Christian Right.
