Comment Coxon is a plant (Score 4, Informative) 81

Coxon has ties to a political PR firm from England named, and I'm not making this up, Newspeak. Yes, like 1984.

His X post was re-tweeted first by a group of NGO shills associated with Newspeak, then he magically shows up on every major news network... right as OpenAI and Anthropic's fundraising efforts are hitting the wall. (For context on that, see Ed Zitron's reporting)

Violence only works for the right wing because violence requires people that obey without question and follow orders and that's the opposite of the left wing.

 
Ryan Routh's September 2024 attempt on Trump, the UnitedHealthcare CEO killing (December 2024), the arson at Governor Shapiro's residence (April 2025), the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington (May 2025), the Boulder firebombing (June 2025), the Alvarado and Dallas ICE facility shootings (July and September 2025, two detainees killed in Dallas), and the Kirk assassination. ALL hard-Left extremists.

It is easy to make fun of this or consider how ham fisted this will probably be at first, but this is a real problem.

Most people get the vast majority of their news from social media and engage in political conversation, almost exclusively on social media. I would not be surprised to discover that candidates were renting out entire blocks of a data center and running thousands or even millions of agents that were constantly engaging in political speech on their behalf.

The funny thing is that he openly acknowledges that inference is very profitable (~40% margins) for all parties

Yeah this is a straight-up lie. Zitron goes out of his way to show - using OpenAI's own leaked financials that inference is not profitable. Nobody of repute is claiming otherwise, and the hyperscalers, OpenAI, and Anthropic have said mum about it because they know it's not profitable.

Even Torsten Slok, lead economist for Apollo Capital, has shown in black and white that inference is not profitable.

Now how in the hell does Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare keep people in poverty, because those are 80% of entitlement spending. When healthcare costs drain your retirement, what is your plan B, what's the backstop? How does fucking you over help ME? I mean that's not seriously a question _I_ ask, because I literally do not see how hanging you out to dry helps me, because SOMEONE is going to pay for your ER visit and put you up in a old folks home, and we're not pulling an Old Yeller on you.

Funny story, this is exactly the problem I'm thinking of. Health care costs have been driven up by ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE faster than inflation, and almost all of that is administration and management. Getting a blood draw is 5% real costs, 10% labor, and 85% red tape. Congrats, that should have been $30 and now you're out $200.

Medicare and Medicaid are how we smuggled bureaucracy into everyone's health care. Rather than letting states run their own health care, we created massive federal apparatuses that add layers and layers and layers to every health care decision. Nobody - left, right, or center- wants to talk about this. Nobody wants to actually fix entitlements, because that means firing hundreds of thousands of federal and state factotums and taking a Trillion Dollars out of special interests every year.

The chips are interesting, but everyone else can do hardware better than they can and at larger scales. And even with these new and fancy chips the math still doesn't work - inference isn't profitable even then due to the token usage for frontier models. (Take another look and you'll notice there's not Jalepeno benchmarks for OpenAI's own models). There's nothing special about OpenAI - not their models or their hardware. If I'm Microsoft or Meta or Google, I'm happy to let OpenAI hang itself out to dry (financially) then scoop up the IP at pennies on the dollar.

Zitron is correct that the hypserscalers (especially Oracle and Microsoft) & OpenIAI and Anthropic are overexposed to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars. Your ad hominem is childish - please read the numbers, direct from the hyperscalers and AI companies. https://www.wheresyoured.at/pr...
