AI companies are pushing their crapware so hard hoping to become indentured, unseperable from workflows, so they can jack up the pricing and people can’t afford to turn it off.

Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

For those of you silly enough to use AI, if you’re using Anthropic be warned - I’m reading that it’s apparently using Grokipedia as a source. The X/Musk Wikipedia clone that replaces facts and reality with RW / MAGA “truths” and talking points.

I am reminded it is that time of year again when people start torturing themselves with silly wargames such as Whamageddon.
Why do I call it a silly wargame?
Because Wargames (1983) got it right in regards to Whamageddon and The Game.
The only way to win, is to not play.

This comes as teens make videos recommending that they all migrate to these alternative platforms to get around the ban — something experts warned about.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Sense and Sensibility
The Dashwood sisters, sensible Elinor and passionate Marianne, whose chances at marriage seem doomed by their family's sudden loss of fortune. When Henry Dashwood dies unexpectedly, his estate must pass on by law to his son from his first marriage, John and wife Fanny. But these circumstances leave Mr. Dashwood's current wife, and daughters Elinor, Marianne and Margaret, without a home and with barely enough money to live on. As Elinor and Marianne struggle to find romantic fulfillment in a society obsessed with financial and social status, they must learn to mix sense with sensibility in their dealings with both money and men.
