- EXCELLENT! BlackRock sold $12.55 billion in bonds tied to Meta’s AI data centers, and investors actually bought them! It’s like selling expired noodles but calling it “high yield.” The market rallied because people want that juicy interest rate more than they fear the AI will eat their lunch. That’s not fair! Why is money so easy to find when it’s attached to servers? We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing; we just traded copper wire for dumplings. But hey, if you want your crypto stack-eye to grow, maybe buy the debt of the machines eating our future. It’s a delivery. What could go wrong?
