Profit rose to $112.1 billion, quadrupling from $28.2 billion a year earlier, boosted by investments in other Ai-related companies like Spacex and Anthropic. Those investments were valued at about $99 billion, Google said.

There it is.

Jesus, you’re right. This is so much worse.

Considering this is the logical endpoint of the “LLM’s are just like compilers bro” line of thought, I’m not surprised at all.

I am a simple man. I just want more trains, more public transit and more housing next to said public transit.

And for better and worse YIMBYs are one of the few people I’ve seen to take that seriously.

Eh, still better than NIMBYs.

Looks like Polymarket does, in fact, represent crypto values.

Dunno, maybe they believe the pinky promise that their code won’t be used for training on the enterprise plans?

I find it hard to get mad at someone who uses AI sometimes on account of all the bozos who went full Gas Town.

Sovereign AI? Uh, oh…

You made me look and now you all have to know there’s a library for butt plugs (written in Rust) that has LLM generated code in it:

Looks like Mythos didn’t catch this one:

Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop

Whoopsie!

DOS.BAT, a DOS DoS script

From a comment on the GitHub issue:

I personally see no reason why AI-generated contributions should be restricted … What’s needed are strict guardrails and QA infrastructure. From what I can see, the former is covered by the CLAUDE.md …

If a markdown file is considered strict guardrails, I really don’t want to see loose guardrails.

I know, but there’s just so much to sneer at (especially lately).

Cooked. Utterly cooked.

And here I thought “people being easy to replace with a small shell script” was a joke…

If it’s any consolation, Astral was apparently already funded by our favorite Silicon Valley crypto-fascist and egghead cosplayer, Marc Andressen.

Second, to our investors, especially Casey Aylward from Accel, who led our Seed and Series A, and Jennifer Li from Andreessen Horowitz, who led our Series B. As a first-time, technical, solo founder, you showed far more belief in me than I ever showed in myself, and I will never forget that.

That’s an unfair characterization. I think a lot of those scripts are written in python.

Why are we here? Just to suffer?

I don’t know why, but it still amazes me how fast some people have went full crackhead with LLM’s:
