Meta's 3-year growth almost entirely AI-driven: ROI debate is insane
Nearly every point of Meta's growth over three years comes directly from AI — internal models and open-source Chinese models — proving massive ROI exists; 'no ROI' narrative is factually wrong.

Burnbomb admits Upstart 95% loss was biggest mistake: management didn't grasp financial risk
Upstart's capital-light model failed because management didn't understand it was also a financial company that must constantly capitalize itself; when rates rose to 5%, loan buyers disappeared and the stock collapsed 95%.

"Yeah, definitely complete nonsense. Um I I think it's it's interesting how unwilling people are to believe what the CEO is saying. Um and maybe people just aren't a good judge of…"
