Jukka Lepikkö wrote that AI stocks were, in his opinion, mispriced because the analysts following them did not understand reality. He mentioned that a Nomura analyst estimated that one gigawatt of data center capacity would generate $20 billion in sales for Anthropic. According to Lepikkö, the correct figure would be about $80 billion per gigawatt: he justified his estimate by noting that 25 percent of Anthropic's 5 gigawatt capacity, or 1.25 gigawatts, was used for inference and total sales were $100 billion. Lepikkö estimated that Anthropic would increase its computing capacity by 7 gigawatts next year. He said it was unclear how much of the new capacity would be used for training and how much for inference, but he assumed that the share for inference would be larger than it is now. If one third of the additional capacity were allocated to inference, it could, based on his $80 billion per gigawatt estimate, generate $185 billion in new revenue. In this case, Lepikkö suggested that Anthropic's ARR could be nearly $300 billion by the end of 2027. #AI #Osakkeet #Teknologia (translated)

Jussi Mäkinen wrote that Finnish immigration discussion, in his experience, had focused on the need for workers in low-paying jobs and funding for the pension system. He criticized that councilor Meri was condemned for speaking about what she thought. Mäkinen also pondered whether conclusions could be drawn from the names of those accepted into the Swedish-speaking medical faculty. Mäkinen criticized Marin's government's decision to raise the compulsory schooling age to 18. According to him, the reform had provided state-funded textbooks and school transportation for upper middle-class high school students, but at the same time enrolled youths in education who might not attend classes. He mentioned hearing from acquaintances in vocational schools in the capital region that, for example, selected students in electrical studies had not showed up for school even after the second academic year had started. Mäkinen also claimed that educational institutions received funding based on the names on student lists, even if the student did not show up. Mäkinen wrote that the proportion of those completing secondary education had risen from about 77.9 percent to 79.4 percent among those young people who turned 20 by the spring of that year. He challenged Meri to publish a positive update when the students on the list would have graduated. Mäkinen estimated that nearly 90 percent of those accepted to high school had Finnish backgrounds and nearly 90 percent of those accepted to vocational schools had immigrant backgrounds. He also shared that his friend, a Master's degree holder in business sciences who had come to Finland as a refugee from Kosovo, had said that they had learned better Finnish on a football team than in a classroom with immigrant-background students. Finally, Mäkinen reminded of a previous discussion where it was deemed important to transfer Finnish children from their local school to a school where the majority of students belonged to the S2 language group. He wrote that the backgrounds of the names on vocational school student lists could not yet be discussed. #maahanmuutto #koulutus #suomi (translated)
