Big Tech is spending over $725 Billion on AI this year - Google, Microsoft, Meta and Amazon are all burning more cash than they make in profit.
Apple spent the last decade getting everything about AI wrong but somehow the strategy of doing nothing now looks like a masterpiece.
How long can Big Tech keep burning money before it all hits the fan?

Royal Navy warship crisis deepens as another crippled vessel is written off leaving just five frigates to defend Britain...and there is 'no money to buy weapons'
The Royal Navy's fleet of frigates was reduced to just five today after the withdrawal of HMS Iron Duke - while the Army has 'no money to buy weapons'.
The warship is to be retired due to technical issues just three years after a £103million refit.
HMS Iron Duke has suffered technical issues since 2017. Since then more than 1.7 million man-hours have been spent in a bid to salvage her.

NATO “Trade over Aid” push triggers UN budget panic, Guterres warns of collapse
The White House is threatening to slash more UN dues, Trump wants “reforms” including a 10% cut to peacekeeping missions today…
USAID has been effectively dismantled, the remaining skeleton crew is being folded into the State Department…
UN Secretary General Guterres says the funds are “non-negotiable,” he’s warning of an imminent financial collapse for the global body…
The “Trade for Aid” vision prioritizes private markets over direct food assistance, Oxfam says millions of children could lose healthcare…
Trump is treating the United Nations like a failing subsidiary, the “pay up or pack up” era is in full swing.
Cutting 16,000 USAID jobs in one year is a wrecking ball to the old globalist order.
If the UN can’t find a new sugar daddy by July, the “World Food Program” might be the first thing to go dark.
Trump officials threaten UN budget cuts as US pushes ‘trade over aid’ agenda
“The Trump administration is continuing to pressure the United Nations and the international aid sector more broadly to adopt trade-focused policies to benefit US firms – or face the threat of further budget cuts.
Donald Trump’s second term has already seen USAID suffer mass layoffs and have its remaining operations folded into the state department, with a ripple effect across the globe that has many experts warning will cost thousands of lives as vital programs are cut.”

Guterres warns the UN could run out of cash by July; US owes over $2B
“In a letter to member states last week, Mr Guterres said there was a record US$1.57 billion (S$2 billion) in outstanding dues for the UN’s regular budget, without naming the nations that owed them.
UN officials say more than 95 per cent of what is owed to the regular UN budget is owed by the US – US$2.19 billion by the start of February. The US also owes another US$2.4 billion for current and past peace-keeping missions and US$43.6 million for UN tribunals.
On Dec 30, the UN General Assembly approved US$3.45 billion for the regular UN budget for 2026, following weeks of negotiations. This covers costs of running UN offices around the world, including the headquarters in New York, staff salaries, meetings and development and human rights work.
UN officials say the US did not pay into the regular budget in 2025 and owes US$827 million for that, as well as US$767 million for 2026. Next in line were Venezuela and Mexico, owing US$38 million and US$20 million respectively.”

Horrifying "Rape Festival" Sparks Worldwide Outrage
Videos circulating on social media out of Nigeria have ignited shock and horror after appearing to show groups of men chasing, stripping and sexually assaulting women in broad daylight during a traditional “fertility" festival in the country’s southern Delta State, according to news.com.au.
The incidents unfolded on March 19 during the Alue-Do festival in Ozoro, a triennial rite in the Uruamudhu community of the Ozoro Kingdom. Intended to invoke blessings for married women struggling with conception, the event involves processions to a community shrine. Local customs reportedly advise single women to remain indoors. However, footage depicted young women fleeing through crowded streets, pursued by mobs who tore at their clothing, groped them and subjected them to public humiliation while bystanders filmed and, in some cases, appeared to cheer.
The graphic clips, which spread rapidly on platforms including X, Instagram and Facebook, have fueled national outrage, trending hashtags such as #endsexualviolence.
Delta State police have responded with arrests. Authorities confirmed that at least 15 people, including a community leader and several young men identified in the videos, are in custody, the BBC reports. Police spokesperson Bright Edafe described the scenes as “alarming, disgusting and embarrassing,” adding that suspects have been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for prosecution. Investigations continue, though officials noted that no formal complaints of rape have been filed to date. Some women reportedly required hospitalization.
One of the alleged victims told police she was attacked within minutes of arriving at the event to the "rape festival."
“Immediately I came down, they started shouting ‘hold her, hold her, that’s a woman’, and they swooped on me like bees,” the alleged victim said, according to the Daily Express. “A large crowd started pulling my clothes until they stripped me naked. They were pulling my breasts and touching my whole body … I was shouting for help.”
Women’s rights activists claim this isn’t the first event where mass rape has occured.
“This is not just about what happened in those videos,” said Rita Aiki, an activist with the Women’s Rights Advancement and Protection Alternative, the New York Post reported. “It’s about the conditions that make it possible for this kind of violence to happen in public, with so many people watching and no one stepping in.”
“It tells you something about what is being normalized in a given society,” she added.

Virtue Gone Mad: Manager Punished More Harshly Than The Shoplifter He Stopped
Strong men should take life into their own hands, submit to no authority, and decide for themselves what they should do
Sean Egan, the manager of a supermarket store in Walsall, England, one of a large chain, who had worked for the company for all his 29 years after leaving school, was dismissed because he was involved in a physical confrontation with a prolific shoplifter in his store.
He asked the shoplifter, who had at least 100 convictions, to leave the store, whereupon the shoplifter became abusive and aggressive, spitting at Egan, who then tried to restrain him.
The shoplifter alleged that Egan had assaulted him, and the store dismissed the employee of 29 years for not having followed company policy. There was a public outcry, a public demonstration outside the store, and many people vowed never to patronize it or any of its branches again.
The company, using the kind of managerial language in which it is almost impossible to tell a straightforward truth, put out a statement:
“We have very clear guidance, procedures and controls in place to protect our colleagues and customers from the risk of harm, which must be strictly followed. These include detailed procedures for handling shoplifting incidents, which are in place to protect both the colleague involved and surrounding colleagues and customers, and which seek to de-escalate and calmly control the situation. We will not ask colleagues to put themselves at risk. As a responsible employer, our focus is entirely on taking the correct action to ensure health and safety is maintained at all times.”
In this incident, we can see that both Nietzsche and G.K. Chesterton were partly right. A debased compassion for everyone, no doubt a derivative of Christianity, in the form of an abstract concern for health and safety above all other considerations, encouraged a vice (shoplifting) to flourish while an act of heroism and obedience to duty, at a level higher than that of mere following of procedure, was reprehended and punished.
Procedure is good as a guideline, and in some instances, though not very many in everyday life, is essential—for example, in the flying of an aircraft. But where is it is bowed down to and worshipped as if it were a jealous god, it leads to a brainless formalism, gross injustice, and an absurd situation in which a man who attempts to prevent shoplifting is punished much more severely than is the shoplifter.
The shoplifter was given a sentence of 42 weeks’ imprisonment, which, since 50 percent remission in England is automatic, means 21 weeks (and the government has recently all but abolished prison sentences of less than a year). Meanwhile, the 46-year-old manager of the supermarket has lost his job in the only company for which he has ever worked and will not easily find another—or would not have done so had there not been a public outcry.
As Nietzsche might have put it, there has been a transvaluation of all values.
