The way AI art is pushed is so bizare if you think about it. Imagine if in 1997 Coca Cola were like "The Clip Art Genie is out of the bottle, from now on these will be our advertisements, it saves us a lot of money. like it or not"

Microsoft CEO says AI “risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.” Brother you’re the one building this dogshit, we’re three years and hundreds of billions in, how have you not worked it out?

Extremely dishonest headline: what they mean is that Wikipedia charges data companies for scraping the website. It already does this for Google it is just further expanding this.

A boycott can take many forms and doesn't necessarily need to have the goal to reduce sales. If at every mention of ubisoft we make sure to remind everyone that they are a pest that do illegal antiworker stuff, then that alone is a pretty good boycott in my view

I think it's critically important to contrast this with credit companies openly disenfranchising independent pornographic artists. The average American should be aware that right now we live in a country where a paragovernmental group is banning all porn except revenge porn that they sell you.

A lot of this reporting on the memory price hike seems to have the intention of pushing FOMO. I've seen declarations such as "NOW is the time to upgrade your PC" alleging it will get much worse. But the reality is that we don't really know that.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

this is similar to what I've come to think of as the "reverse turing test" when people find synthetic text is "good enough" to complete a task (homework, business report, email) it doesn't mean the machine is smart. it means they were asked to produce something that didn't matter it's diagnostic

Last night's biggest surprise was Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, led by Casey Hudson, who directed KOTOR (and Anthem). Exciting news for lots of people... but Lucasfilm says the studio was founded this year, which means that 2030 is an *optimistic* guess. Maybe it'll be a PlayStation 7 game

I am deeply worried for the future. NVIDIA's revenue is a chain of pain - selling GPUs bought with debt that are rented to unprofitable LLM companies subsidized by VC who sell access to unprofitable AI companies subsidized by VC. The end will be gruesome.

Two weeks ago I said that there were likely millions of uninstalled Blackwell GPUs sitting in warehouses as there is neither the data center capacity nor the power to turn them on. Michael Burry is looking into it and it looks like he’s got evidence I’m right.

Universities are assembling larger and larger teams to deal with academic integrity issues--mostly focused on AI--while simultaneously holding AI "writing" contests, AI-themed events, "hey, come play with these fun tools!" The messages are so mixed, it's criminal. Because AI is bloated with money.

Lately my opinions about AI have turned a new page. This thing finally helped me find the words. My fear about AI is not that it'll ever be able to be as good at doing things as humans are. My fear is about whether or not our bosses even care if it's good or not.
