You're witnessing a collapse of demand. Do not ignore it - though it may not be permanent.

The buildout is already taxpayer funded: see the big beautiful bill, which seems like it was engineered to make this effectively free.

They can blend leverage, 100% 1st year depreciation with using the hardware itself as a financing asset and dozens more financial engineering steps -

Their actual cost of financing is probably incredibly low already.

I worry that they are thinking of trying to run the company just ahead of debt/lease payments or something, otherwise this is just a distraction

So they want even more?

Depreciation only helps if you have revenue of the same basic scale to offset (to avoid a paper profit).

Incorrect. The search algo has a goal: to find out. You just think it has no goal because you didnt think in quantum.

I've been working on a project called x174 to deal with this disaster. Think of it as a bugfix. Will reach out

Btw - this sort of project is what my startup does - we spin out autonomous projects - that could be companies - that provide social good and solve otherwise unsolvable problems.

You're talking ahead of the others in this thread, who do not understand how you got to what you're saying. I've been doing research in this area. You are not only correct, but the implications are staggering, and go further than what you have mentioned above. This is no cult, it is the reorganization of the economics of work.

> it is the reorganization of the economics of work

and the overwhelming majority of humanity will be worse off for it

Leaders build systems that build tools.

They sometimes build the tools themselves if communication /finding help would take more effort and time than diy.

Any other deployment indicates waste (e.g. ego / needing to show off your awesomeness, or needing to upskill yourself because you aren't the right skill-shape for the job) or a company starved for capital that is sacrificing the long term for the short in order to survive.

Hey, I want to get in contact with you - you're thinking the way I like folks in my company to think, and I want to hire you or do a deal with you.

Check my profile and reach out.

this site tried to download a potentially dangerous file to my machine on navigation to the link - flagging.

I also might be interested - definitely reach out to me (my email is in my profile).

Please feel free to reach out to me: email now in profile.

Replacing my time capsule is not a priority for me, because it's a backup. If the backup goes bad / fails, I'm not sure why I should care (unless it fails silently)... By definition, I have a duplicate copy so all I need to do is to replace it when it fails, with whatever the latest greatest solution is. I do recognize that there's a bit of risk during that replacement period, but I'm not losing sleep over a few days of exposure. And I'm not worried with it failing silently because my machine is constantly writing to it and it's constantly moving and compacting (aka reading) data to eliminate the oldest stuff anyways.

My only actual concern is whether or not the networking aspect of my time capsule is up to snuff... Perhaps it makes sense to get a better wireless router, and perhaps there have been advances in router tech that mean I could get way better performance on my network. But there's no easy way for me to know if that's actually the case, so I'm just holding on to my time capsule until some event triggers me to make a change.
