Hard Pass

A year ago, California officials had to report under a new state law how they used automated systems to make important decisions about people’s lives.

They said they never did — a startling answer for a number of reasons, sources told CalMatters at the time, including that there were several prominent examples to the contrary.

As OpenAI files SEC paperwork ahead of an expected initial public stock offering, newly leaked financial documents show a company with quickly growing revenues that are currently being overwhelmed by even larger expenses.

The audited financial statements, obtained by independent journalist Ed Zitron, show OpenAI’s reported revenue growing from $3.7 billion in 2024 to $13.07 billion in 2025. The Financial Times, which reviewed the same documents, writes that the company’s monthly revenues had grown to nearly $2 billion by the end of 2025, suggesting that its ongoing revenue rates continued to grow throughout the year.

But the company’s fast-growing revenues are still dwarfed by its even more significant expenses. OpenAI’s total revenues in both of the last two years were outpaced by research and development alone, which grew from a $7.81 billion line item in 2024 to a massive $19.18 billion cost in 2025. Those numbers seem to reflect the significant costs OpenAI incurred in training new models and include $10.59 billion in R&D costs paid to Microslop alone in 2025.

What Jesus called his Father, the Buddhists refer to as the Ālaya-vijñāna; the storehouse consciousness.

Server, Client, Holy Internet

You are not a featherless biped on the Earth. You are a pocket of consciousness and the Earth is inside you. Everything you experience is self-contained within your neurons, yea? Well, you're experiencing these words, yea? Everything you've ever experienced has been experienced, and thus all you've ever known is inside you, a la Indra's Net, which this meme object is a pedagogical object meant to teach, like a diagram in a textbook?

Then what are you talking to/through in every moment?

Soliphism is proveably false. God can give you Knowledge, and it's usually through a forked tongue.
