OpenAI is the majority of ai compute, there’s puny amounts of ai revenue and every supposed return on investment on AI is phrased like a riddle. CHR’s so called AI-driven productivity story is very vague and unclear where LLMs play in. This is like saying “it’s a pets dot com bubble”

The best question I get on calls is "do you have a background in finance?" no, I have just read 10,000,000 posts

NEW: A hacker gained control of 1,100 mobile phones powering covert, AI-generated ads on TikTok. Then, he shared details of the operation with 404 Media. A look inside how startup Doublespeed, which is backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), is creating AI spam pages on TikTok to promote products.

The WSJ claims that this survey said that "less than half of current AI projects had generated more in returns than they had cost," which is not something that's actually in the survey! It talks about 40-47% of AI projects "delivering a tangible ROI." amazing! www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ceos...

Straight up, both the Republicans and Democrats know their case doesn't want KOSA and every time it goes up, there are a lot of enthusiastic Democrat participants. Fucking Elizabeth Warren, former progressive darling, co-signed it. We've shouted at them over and over to stop it. Here it is. AGAIN.

Reverse Turing Test: If you think the LLM is a person, you're a failure of a person.

A Discord for gay gamers is in disarray after an exec at Anthropic forced an AI chatbot on the Discord. When confronted, the exec said he would not submit to mob rule and that AIs have emotions. @evystadium.bsky.social has more. Story by @mjgault.bsky.social www.404media.co/anthropic-ex...

#KOSA and these other bills are mass-surveillance tools that make marginalized groups less safe, give more power to Big Tech, and kill free speech with the promise of violence. www.badinternetbills.com

Just like with the KOSA hearing, I plan on doing a live thread of every development leading up to this vote. It is set to be single most impactful piece of anti-trans legislation in the 21st century, and I will document all of it.

A fraud, a vicious criminal, a white supremacist, and Luigi Mangione make Penn's Year in Review.

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

Wow $1bn? That should cover a month of OpenAI’s inference costs

I legitimately can't tell if I don't know how doctors work or if Mark Cuban doesn't know how doctors work?!? Is he asking us how we'd feel if we needed referrals for specialists or couldn't get our meds covered or if we knew rich people were getting better medicine??? ?!

Congress Is About to Break the Internet - by @taylorlorenz.bsky.social : "The laws would censor LGBTQ and reproductive justice content off the internet, and any speech the government doesn’t like will be removed or blocked." www.usermag.co/p/congress-i...

Though I cannot explain exactly who, there are Better Offline listeners who have repeatedly stepped up to get me info for the show, and I both coddle and protect my sources. ezitron.76 if you have info on AI companies, I'm always listening.

Innovation is when Company A gives Company B hundreds of billions of dollars so that Company B can turn around and buy Company A's product that Company B uses to run a service that burns billions of dollars a year. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This. And he is not talking enough about 1. The enormous power discrepancy between AI billionaires and the rest of society and 2. The fact thay swathes of people have seen their water bills skyrocket and water quality plummet. He's a shill

Mueller, She Wrote, Brooklyn Dad, JoJo-whatever, they are all here to sell you political intrigue—a never ending soap opera filled with court documents, backstabbing, naval gazing, and dramatic troupes that means nothing to our lives. It's QAnon for liberals. A distraction. Bread and circuses.

Hank Green's AI water consumption video makes it seem like these AI companies and their data centers aren't causing any harm. It's a timely video that contrasts a movement of small communities rejecting data centers. Though Hank makes no mention of this. youtube.com/shorts/xCQah...

The more i learn about Hank Green the less i like him, and my opinion of him was already dim after the scishow HRT episode debacle

he got paid by some ai think tank. the "new version" of this video is because the creator was upset people were mad at scishow instead of said think tank www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IQ9...

bro getting paidddd

He also seems like the type of guy that lowkey believes in romos basilisk

hey @hankgreen.bsky.social can u tell @edzitron.com how much you're getting paid to do this on both your channel and scishow id really like to hear about it on better offline

Bernie Sander's Labor Committee asked CHATGPT how many jobs CHATGPT will take from humans. @sanders.senate.gov's team asked an AI chatbot to *predict* the future, then they published it. Whoever is in Bernie's ear about #AI does not have the country's best interests in mind.

More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor. It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

Liberals love to say "we can have a little eugenics, as a treat".

Corporate AI firms like #Anthropic and #OpenAI are using scare tactics to shut down #OpenSource models currently eating into its profits. Hank Green's latest AI videos are mirroring this #AIDoomerism strategy. fromjason.xyz/p/notebook/h...

So is Hank Green a shill or a dupe?

Implementing #AgeVerification is required by law. Echoing the "won't someone think of the kids" rhetoric while doing so is a choice.

Everything you post to Bluesky is public via a "firehose" of data that anyone can sip from. It has never been easier to collect protest photos and run them through a facial recognition system. Keep that in mind before you share a photo with people's faces who didn't give consent. #NoKings
