BREAKING: Anthropic is now expected to receive a "high junk" rating from major credit rating agencies after its IPO, which could come as soon as November, per FT.
Details include:
1. Blackstone has told investors that Anthropic likely will not receive an investment-grade rating immediately after its IPO
2. Blackstone is working with banks that stumped up financing on selling the debt on to other investors
3. An investment-grade rating is "central" to Anthropic's ability to continue its AI buildout
4. The company says it expects to spend over $800 billion on computing infrastructure between now and 2045
Debt markets are increasingly in the spotlight as AI funding becomes less abundant.

Like!! How is it so difficult to understand in a country where you are more likely to die when pregnancy than in any other country on earth? I have come to believe that those who have chosen that hill to die on and "correct" know what it means but they have chosen to be silly.

They called it a "£200-a-night four-star boutique hotel" and the entire British press was crashing out. An unelected guy in Nigeria is giving people 150m cars and that looks ok to people.

Mao Zedong is under any single social metric a dictator. Not a single popular election, single government party and lifetime leadership. Not even taking into account the millions of deaths under his reign.

Desde LALIGA lamentamos profundamente las declaraciones de Kylian Mbappé que han causado malestar y ofensa en China. Entendemos el daño ocasionado y, en nombre de LALIGA, quiero trasladar nuestras sinceras disculpas al pueblo chino.
Durante muchos años hemos construido una relación de respeto, confianza y cooperación con China, sus autoridades, sus instituciones deportivas, sus operadores audiovisuales y millones de aficionados al fútbol español.
No podemos permitir que una actuación individual empañe esa relación ni perjudique a los más de 20 clubes de nuestras competiciones profesionales y a millones de aficionados chinos.
Estamos adoptando las medidas a nuestro alcance y trabajando directamente con nuestros socios e interlocutores en China para superar esta situación.
Nuestro compromiso con China, su pueblo y sus instituciones es firme. Una relación construida durante tantos años no puede quedar dañada por un episodio individual.
