Basically there are 7 companies that account for 80% growth in the US Economy (which is currently deep in recession outside of spending on AI infrastructure) and they’re all trading products and services with each other to keep their stock price rising so they don’t collapse.

Can you imagine running a business where 5 years since product launch you’ve not only not made a profit, your turnover, not profit, *turnover* was 1.2% of your expenses? If you can then you’re probably an open spot comedian wondering whether you should knock it on the head and fall back on teaching

Every video you make with Sora 2 costs OpenAI $5. This year they’ve spent the best part of a Trillion Dollars (one thousand billion) and brought in $12bn revenue. For them to be able to *break even* they’d need to increase the cost of every monthly subscription 10 times. They are so fucked.

“Fuck AI” — Guillermo del Toro 🎥 Vanity Fair

Pretty much every single one of these new government accounts is posting rage bait. It's possible (like 100% guaranteed) they are trying to provoke people here on purpose, so don't fall for it. Blockity block block block.

billions spent on the metaverse, NFTs, crypto, web 3, and now gen AI are not “sour grapes”

Gente, denunciem esse babaca. Não apenas ele está há dois dias assediando uma amiga, como posta esse tipo de coisa sem nenhuma vergonha na cara.

The biggest lie the wealthy convinced the world of is that having more money means they must be more intelligent.

Sycophantic LLMs rob us of the chance to practice what makes us human: thought, revision, interaction, introspection. I’m much more worried about everyone losing those skills than I am about a Terminator-style end of the world.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

I really believe generative AI is a cognitohazard to an entire column of humanity. I don't know, there's a something it fucking does to people that displaces their own entirely-capable cognition and independence, further they seemingly cannot perceive the deficits of. This is not a moral argument.

OpenAI using DRM to block you from recording the content that they plagiarized from other people is just 😘👌

O engajamento traz dinheiro, então não importa como. E como praticamente tudo no nosso modo de produção atual, foda-se todo mundo. Vi um vídeo ótimo em q um cara fala como isso faz com que a gente viva com raiva, decepcionado. A gente perde a fé. Vou continuar desse pensamento aqui.

Viralizou um vídeo de uma mulher enterrando o cachorro dela no Monte Everest. Muitos milhões de views, muitos comentários. Boa parte puta da cara pq VC É MALUCA DE LEVAR SEU CACHORRO PRA UMA EXPEDIÇÃO? E outra parte apenas triste pelo dog. Acontece que o vídeo não é real. É gerado pelo Sora.

🚨 PROJETO APROVADO: VÍTIMA NÃO SUSTENTA AGRESSOR! São revoltantes os casos de mulheres vítimas da violência doméstica sendo forçadas a pagar PENSÃO pros homens que as agrediram. Por isso, acabamos de aprovar, na Comissão da Mulher, meu Projeto de Lei que PROÍBE essa prática. +👇🏽

Vocês vão me ver falando MUITO menos do golpe da vez se eu conseguir ir pra uma account com menos vítimas dele

Eventualmente eu mudo de projeto 😌 Pelo menos vão colocar meu pedido pra liderança com urgência

Things that are fake: - Alpha males (debunked by the original researcher) - MSG causing headaches (never replicated) - Learning styles (no evidence) Things that are real: - People will believe anything if it confirms their priors

Here is a guy who is one of the stupidest fucking people alive, who has been huffing his farts so long in a potemkin village full of sycophants that he can't perceive how much loser stink that statement has.

"Good news, everyone. We're going to try to stop it from getting you to kill yourself. Don't ask how. Also, you can fuck it. Don't ask why." And the US is spending more on *that* than consumer spending. Every company relentlessly trying to cram *that* into their product. The government included.

So, Sam Altman knows this. He is aware that his competitors in the answer-shaped object machine market are all desperately trying to pivot to generating CSAM and seducing kids. And, knowing this, he *first* addressed the issue of his robot causing people to kill themselves and annihilate families.

“It's Giving Enron - by Dave Karpf” https://davekarpf.substack.com/p/its-giving-enron > the AI bubble isn’t predominantly giving off Pets.com or Global Crossing vibes anymore. It’s giving Enron vibes Been saying this for a while. They're gonna Enron this shit until it explodes all over us

Whenever people chide me for seeming angry - how SHOULD I feel? We are watching one company perpetuate obvious, blatant lies with NVIDIA, AMD and Broadcom, and it's being reported not simply as *reasonable*, but somehow revolutionary.

It’s not just bad morally, it’s also bad art. “Marilyn Monroe in Game of Thrones” has no point or purpose, it’s just a mad lib

I know the headline everyone's running with is "erotica" but "we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues" and "we are putting personality back in ChatGPT so it will act like a friend" are diametrically opposed statements that's the cause of most of the mental health issues

Why would anyone drag and drop a local file in front of their eyes when they could sign up and install an expensive cloud-hosted AI agent and type out a long, specific, English language command to move it? gist.github.com/0xs34n/a5738...

Choosing Marilyn Monroe as an example for this is a prime -- and dark -- demonstration of how AI slop's core purpose is the erasure of consent for everyone, from the artists whose work has been stolen to the performers the user turns into lifeless puppets

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men. Studio executives, so many people. After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her. What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill

Como a IA por si só não tá nem cobrindo os próprios gastos, a Meta decidiu que vai usar as conversas dos usuários com o chatbot pra personalizar os anúncios que ela mostra. Toda ideia de negócios do Zuckerberg é "tá, mas e se a gente invadisse a privacidade pra fazer anúncio direcionado?"

every big AI pitch is like “what if we took away your means of survival and devalued all your skills to make stonks go up temporarily? You’d like that wouldn’t you?”

What an unsurprising decision by corporations that desperately need to make money with AI. If every other company with a chatbot isn't already doing this, then expect them to be following Meta's lead soon. The chatbot is not your friend; it's a corporate listening device. www.ft.com/content/22f7...

Discworld QOTD, from Monstrous Regiment “Keep out of the way of officers, ‘cos they ain’t healthy. That’s what you learn in the army. The enemy dun’t really want to fight you, ‘cos the enemy is mostly blokes like you who want to go home with all their bits still on. But officers’ll get you killed.”

you use llms to: brainstorm an idea summarise your lit review analysis your data evaluate your findings write your paper… a reviewer then uses llms to: summarise your paper assess the value of it check for plagiarism write-up review… do you see how this destroys academic integrity

A ICE sequestrou um menino brasileiro de 13 anos e o levou para fora do estado e que morava, sem notificar os pais. A Gestapo estadunidense não poupa nem crianças!

and since he really does have a quote for everything, in the wise words of Sir Terry Pratchett: “Susan hated Literature. She’d much prefer to read a good book.”

one thing LLMs have revealed is that the belief that there is a magical incantation that will give you what you want is not just confined to pick-up artists and freemen on the land

Porn addiction isn’t real It’s just not All of the ”science” about it comes from groups with religious ties, anti-sex worker ties, or grifting “therapists” A compulsive relationship with porn is about the individual, not the porn

Let's not forget the follow up to that headline

remember this for every AI headline you read but also keep this one in mind, too
