They can sell the software business to broadcom.

The result would turn into that concentrated evil black lump from Time Bandits

They can rent out their AI infra to The Hyperscalers.

I can't tell if this is supposed to be sarcasm or not :-/

Aren't all the token providers right now over-provisioned? They aren't trying to use up all their capacity, they're selling it to one another.

Apart from SpaceXAI no?

There's still a massive compute crunch, I know the opencode guys had been struggling to get capacity, Claude effectively lowered it's limit till the SpaceX deal, Google is struggling.

Are they?

Anthropic is renting compute from a competitor, that also is known for their blackhat business practices.

Anthropic isn't a hyperscaler, but instead a hyperscaler customer.

And I've seen first hand hyperscalers go to extremely large lengths to eradicate any use of Oracle (which mainly comes in these days through their acquisitions).

Really? This isn't the first time their automation took down a big customer (UniSuper in 2024) by accident. In that case the automation actually deleted the resources and GCP had to recover them.

I have worked inside major cloud providers, it doesnt work like this

Even libraries can only license digital content for a limited period of time/loans before being forced to purchase new licenses. See https://www.spokanelibrary.org/the-true-cost-of-ebooks-and-a...

Vendors are less likely to try and screw you over if they know they can't ban you for a chargeback.

I can believe that, the "eBay stalking scandal" article on Wikipedia is insane.

At least AWS will send people out to your office to tell you which services you aren't using but could.

Comcast actually implemented IPv6 10-15 years ago so that they could unify the management of all of their cable modems. Prior to that they had many regional networks using with modems assigned management IPs in overlapping private IPv4 ranges.

United had a "chairman's flight" between NY and a SC airport that was created so the chairman of the Port Authority of NY/NJ could fly to his vacation home on the weekends.

I think there is some benefit to resigning because you can see the DOJ is already suffering in court from sub-par lawyering. Every departure of a competent DOJ lawyer puts even more pressure on the remaining ones and there's only 24 hours in a day.
