    Anthropic is a bit nuts, I had $260 of credits on my max account for the extra usage the other night. It was expiring, so I figured I'll fire up an agentic swarm to deep dive and make some deep changes to some old cold bases.. literally 25 minutes or less, $260 burnt, it didn't get get into the implementation, just wrote a ton of useless plans for the most part. It really opened my eyes to what they expect to charge people.. wayyyy overpriced.

      And at that cost they're still not profitable. It's going to be a bumpy road ahead...

        What’s the blast radius of this bubble popping? It’s all private investment still right?

          Two thirds of most of the DC builds are not compute. So it's a CRE play the last leg holding up that mess.
