Google goes all-in on AI
27 July 2026It's starting to look as if the AI bubble won't just burst, it could explode.
For the first time since it became a listed company, Google/Alphabet has spent more than it earned, producing a negative cashflow thanks to massive investments in AI technology.
The numbers are mind-boggling.
Although it earned $39 billion during the last quarter, Alphabet actually spent $45 billion on building AI infrastructure -- that's almost half a billion dollars a day.
How on earth does Google plan to recover this massive investment?
Forums are Down
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
Recoverable Proxy
Would this system help improve the nation's democracy and introduce some much-needed accountability within parliament? Spread the word!
