@Mustardfacial @rootwyrm @neurovagrant - It might be a decent fire sale for non-LLM supercomputer users, so there's that much.
@jmax @Mustardfacial @rootwyrm for the non-supercomputers, notsomuch. Most of their workforce uses Chromebooks at this point.

The last time tech companies offered 100-Year Bonds was, according to Bloomberg,

@neurovagrant @alessandro @8r3n7 exactly. It's why it's getting an "AAA" rating, as though it were as good as a government bond. And it's being done in multiple currencies but primarily sterling.
