AI/Data Center Stress: ORCL CDS at ATH, CoreWeave Bubble Warning, Anthropic Slowdown

Oracle credit default swaps hit all-time wides as data center deals collapse en masse. CoreWeave's own co-founder called life insurers backing the AI buildout the 'dumbest money,' and Anthropic's revenue growth is reportedly slowing dramatically.

The CoreWeave co-founder's on-record admission that life insurers are "this bubble's dumbest money" was described as a remarkable catalyst for last week's sharp price moves. Separately, another account on X reports Anthropic revealed to investors that revenue growth is slowing dramatically, raising questions about AI monetization at scale. Meanwhile another account on X reports DeepSeek is now designing Huawei's AI chips even as DHS orders it removed from all federal systems — a geopolitical flashpoint.
