Big Tech hides $1.65 trillion in AI debt off its balance sheets - more than its total reported debt - using legal structures regulators still allow.

    I genuinely am having a hard time believing this because the image looks like it was generated… The kind of reality the .01% has shoved us into.

      That’s because it’s from Gadget Review, a website that looks like it uses AI to generate graphics and (at least) augment its articles.

      The original article is at least helpfully linked at the top:
      https://asia.nikkei.com/business/technology/five-us-tech-giants-hidden-debts-soar-to-1.65tn-on-opaque-ai-funding


      Edit: I see Gadget Review pop up more and more and I’ve started liking their content less and less. The editorial guidelines say they use AI right on the page you linked. And if I scroll down and click on a random article , it’s AI generated and based on a tweet by CSAM poster Dom Lucre. It’s not the first article I’ve seen that’s basically repeating a tweet from some extreme looking Twitter account either.

      It was definitely generated by AI.

        There’s some serious irony here. The exact type of irony that is distinct to the people forcing the corruption tool’s existence.

      The image is ai generated, but the numbers from Nikkei aren’t
