Meta didn't want to be left behind in the criming either apparently.

Amazon and Apple just told us more about their AI plans - here are three things we learned
Billions of dollars are being poured into a new wave of AI technology. But will it pay off?

That's where my conspiracy theory comes in. These megacorporations were already zombies. They were already using AI tools to make their engagement look better than it was, in the hope that they'd be profitable someday. Fake it til you make it. But the money finally ran out and they still hadn't made it, so they revealed their AI and said "Look what we just invented" to trick gullible investors into propping them up a little longer. They are now desperately trying to find a profitable use case because what they were doing before wasn't actually working. Our government is going along with it to delay the revelation that the entire modern economy is fake. If the AI bubble fails to produce a product we are looking at total collapse.
Really? You don't think Amazon, a company that has nearly monopolized online retail in the wake of every single one of their competitors folding in the 2002 dot-com crash, and who also operates datacenters that power like half the internet, has ever been able to turn a real profit doing those things? Or Google, who nearly monopolized the internet's ad market and sells every single piece of information there is to glean about its users to data brokers? Or Apple, whose hardware has a drastically bigger profit margin than any of their competitors and still manages to account for a bigger market share than any one of them in every single product category?
I don't give a damn about Meta. That can go bankrupt overnight and nothing of value would be lost. I'm worried about all the essential infrastructure that will collapse if Amazon, Google, and Microsoft do.

YouTube is more likely to do a slow fade into obscurity than die, though. Long slow fade, then sold off to someone else, and eventually it'll get to go run and play on the farm with Geocities, Rocketmail, and AOL. (I'd put Myspace there too, but I read about someone wanting to revive that one again recently.)

SEC Exempts Data-Center Bonds From Key Securitization Rules
The Securities and Exchange Commission has made it easier for data center owners to sell asset-backed securities, potentially opening the door for more debt sales a…

Don't elect me. If you do, there will be an end to these news bloggers who refuse to link to the jive they're talking about.
This sounds completely reasonable.
The point is that if they can't pay it back, at least the building is worth something. The underlying asset isn't a loan or a mortgage that is supposed to be repaid eventually and then cease to exist. Our system is so stupid that we have securities floating around that are backed by underlying "assets" that can just go poof. That jive didn't stop after the 2008 crash. There's just additional rules around it now. The SEC agreed with this law firm's argument that data centers don't fall under those rules because the building isn't supposed to go poof.

AI 'watermark removers' flood the web. Almost none can prove they work.
Multiple 'watermark removers' have surfaced days after Anthropic began watermarking text generated by Claude, including an open source project with over 4,500 GitHub stars and paid AI detection evasion services. None of the tools' claims about defeating the text watermark can be verified, as...
