> but far from making no sense.

When I said "it makes no sense", I didn't mean "the accounting math doesn't work out". I meant "raising a potential conflict of interest among related parties".

This whole AI financing this is the motherlode of "potential conflict of interest among related parties".

And people who are obtuse enough to ignore this because it's not illegal right now will discover 5-10 years from now that laws are written in blood (or massive bankruptcies).

Sure? Lots of things are potential conflicts. In the Google and Anthropic deals, I'm not seeing evidence of problems.

And that's saying something, because we have a lot of evidence of actual circularity or related-party deals being done with no arms-length anything across AI, in many cases in ways that definitely do see like they are illegal.

And that's where my video comes in. Google and Amazon are very likely juicing up their share price. Of course, in this day and age we can't prove it's a pump and dump anymore...
