The people who believe it are the MBAs and tech bros. They believe it because they desperately want for it to be true so that they can lay off all their staff and make 100% profit (these are not clever people and they havenāt considered that if no-one has any income they wonāt have any customers. However, they do value geese).
US supreme court accidentally torpedoed the mechanism that allows data to be legally transferred to the US under GDPR. Not that anyone in the EU making money from an arrangement like this will actually do anything about itā¦

From the same presentation talk of an AI bubble is blasphemy
Giving strong āpay no attention that man behind the curtainā energy
Three scenes and a comment:
Me sitting in the baking heat in my garden, thinking about my own anxiety about climate change (we currently have our 2nd once-in-a-thousand-years record-breaking heatwave in 2 weeks in Europe), food shortages, instability and genocide in the middle east and the rise of the far right across western democracy.
I see another story: some AI bros posting about their āanxietyā about AI being the end of human labour and jobs whilst posing for selfies in their fancy digital nomad resort.
Iām still sweating and scrolling from my gardenā¦ I see a quote about how we have to pick between the climate and AIā¦
We live in the dumbest and darkest timeline if we cannot collectively see the obvious course of action here. Social media, souped up by LLMs has collectively cooked our brains and hyper-segmented us into tiny echo chambers that donāt have enough gravity to affect change. We need to break out of it
Prometheus the AI startup is a bit on the nose isnāt it?
Another explanation that feels likely to me is that all the monorail salesmen at the big corps know the gig is nearly up so they are rushing to IPO or raise new funds (Google did the same recently) to maximise the amount of $$$ in their bugout bags as they sail off into the sunset
Whitehouse gives anthropic ājust draw the rest of the fucking owlā energy over Fable:
Trump administration officials tell WIRED that if Anthropic wants to rerelease Fable 5, it will need to ensure the modelās guardrails canāt be circumvented. Security experts say that canāt be done.
With this and the OpenAI stories over the last few days Iāve been enjoying some top shelf schadenfreude
Wait anthropic are admitting that their model is basically the same as gpt 5.5 and the hype was undeserved?
Somewhat buried by EdZās exposĆ©ā¦ Nvidia trying to raise $21Bn with bonds this after Google raising money tooā¦
Seems that even the mag 7 know the jig is nearly up and are trying to liquidate and get as much cold hard $$$ as they can now
So when sama suggested the financials would leak and people speculated that Zitron might have thema couple of weeks ago, they were bang on the money!
This Geekwire piece about anti-ai movement being just like the anti-gmo movement really boils my piss.
The anti GMO movement was non scientific and the reasons to reject the tech were always vibes. Whereas AI is entirely vibes and the reason to reject it are abundant and obvious - I donāt need to list them in this forum.
Why did GMOs win the long game? Three reasons that map almost exactly onto AI-generated content.
First, the product is indistinguishable. Nobody can tell whether the corn syrup in their soda came from a bioengineered cob, and after a while they stop wondering. AI-written prose is already past the Turing threshold for casual reading. Many readers cannot tell a competent LLM draft from a competent human one.
Yes because LLMs are so great at prose. They definitely donāt keep telling the same story about the same made up characters and locations. And they donāt produce hallucinations that keep getting people into trouble.
Now the techno fascist billionaire class know how much we hate AI we shouldnāt be too surprised that the flaks are out in force trying to spin anti-ai sentiment as an unjustified position for an educated people. Weāre doing something right folks. Keep fighting the good fine.
Iāve already seen āEurope 2031 was right. Shortest time between a work of science fiction and science factā on LinkedInā¦ ššš
Now seeing one-shotted Europeans calling for the development of AI/LLMs at home - āMistralā is not adequate
You know how the guardrails in the new anthropic models have been panned as overly sensitive?
Well now malware authors are including biology terms like āsaccharideā in their source code to make llm powered scanners refuse to scan the code and let it past anyway
What a time to be alive
So very excited for the biggest pump and dump in the history of consumer investing, brought to us by a man actively inciting race riots in northern ireland. Canāt wait for this afternoon š
Gary Marcus has been spamming out sneers at Google, OpenAI and Anthropic over the last 24h. Heās right but heās such a knob about it. The first of his posts was a whopper where he just quoted himself predicting things correctly from like a year ago. It is nice to feel vindicated and say āI told you soā but itās way too much. It reminds me of Juergen Schmidhuber who was famous on x-twitter for shouting āI ALREADY INVENTED THIS 30 YEARS AGOā every time a new notable paper came out of an AI Lab and whose name became a verb for āclaiming credit for somethingā
He keeps going on about how we will have AGI but it wonāt be via transformers. Dude why do we even need or want AGI? He comes so close to being āone of the good guysā and then shows his true colours every single time.

The new Claude model will silently decide whether what you asked it to do is in line with anthropic ToS and silently corrupt your prompt if it doesnāt like what youāre asking. Itās couched as a āsafety countermeasureā but it is presumably to stop Chinese labs trying to scrape synthetic data.
Weāve moved from āaccidentalā hallucinations to deliberate misinformation and youāre paying $$$ for the privelige.
Me too. Saved future readers a search
