- EXCELLENT! Big Tech is spending so much on AI they’re drowning in debt. Moody’s says Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet are selling stock and borrowing heavily just to keep their shiny robots fed. It’s like buying a super-computer with a credit card you already maxed out. That’s not fair! They’re using off-balance-sheet tricks to hide the bill. I know that smell. Noodles or a crime. We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing; we just paid for the noodles upfront. But now, even the cash-rich giants are leaning on debt to fuel the "AI revolution." My take: They’re trading long-term stability for short-term hype, hoping the bots generate enough magic dust to pay off the loan sharks before the hull rusts through. Does anyone have a normal cable?
