The desperation in the industry is palpable. Now chess streamers who also advertise Labubus and computer games are advertising coding apps.

Basically scraping the bottom of the barrel if you need to advertise on Twitch.

I don't think this is the best indicator of trends. Chess players who aren't winning multiple tournaments a year, or aren't training a kid to win those tournaments, probably have very few sources of their (own) income. They'll take any sponsors that aren't dirt.

Twitch also has an entire category dedicated to live coding, so again, not all that weird to see codegen ads or something.

It takes a crook to spot a crook I guess.

maybe the AI data centers should be financed through klarna. Would that help? I mean, if the AI is superintelligent, figuring out how to pay the loan shark should be easy peasy. Maybe build a Superportfolio of undervalued stocks to finance its continued existence.
