#ai-fail
A survey of 300 attendees at the Cerebral Valley AI Conference asking which AI startup attendees thought was most likely to fail ranked Perplexity in the top position.

Second place? OpenAI.

It's going to be bitterly funny when the bubble bursts and billionaires tell the American government that AI is too big to fail because it has all of America's taxpayer info.
TurboTax is about to be integrated into ChatGPT, where customers will be guided through tasks tied to their tax filings or financial profile by the AI chatbot.

TurboTax owner Intuit is also paying OpenAI more than $100 million a year to power AI agents.

This human centipede of generative AI funding has gotten to the point where it is impossible to not fail, spectacularly. It's mathematically guaranteed to fail, explosively.

A bailout would be about the same as a bandaid on a sucking chest wound.

Despite industry leaders promising that agentic AI is the future, taking care of virtually all human tasks within the next few years

#CarnegieMellonUniversity researchers just released a paper showing that even the best–performing AI agents fail to complete real-world office tasks 70% of the time

AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail

This is why they've been jamming AI into everything - so that they can say they are too big to fail and can bleed governments dry. “Nice economy you’ve got there, be a shame if anything were to happen to it.” It’s 100% grift with these people.

The industry’s plan is to become infrastructure so they can get bailed out. That’s why they ink money-losing deals with organizations and governments: the AI companies want to be too big to fail so that they’ll get rescued from bankruptcy. And after the last 15 years, why wouldn’t they think that?

… another bubble - cheap housing / dotcom / AI whatever. *Knowing* that when it collapses, the Gov will bail them out because they’re ’too big to fail’. Folks have been pointing out this strategy for AI for WEEKS. OpenAI have openly said they’ll need Gov help. So the plan is v simple …

I folded and used microsoft's chatgpt to ask it how to turn off its "AI designer" tool that keeps stealing input and giving me suggestions every time I paste an image into powerpoint and it gave me detailed, confident instructions that fail on the very first line

I am so tired of this

AI ludditism will fail but in the long term this will force white collar workers to challenge the way capitalism forces them to sell their labor to survive
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Renewable energy has lefty vibes and so we are going to gut it in favour of AI which is right-wing coded if significantly less useful, and reliant on the energy generation we're going to fail to deliver now because: see start of this sentence.

Still, how owned are the libs?
I'm kind of baffled how the "moderates" have apparently all decided to turn against climate policy at once, just as China reaches green electrostate liftoff mode. I thought these people were all about National Greatness and making Hard Choices

They are being obscenely reckless because they expect to be bailed out. "Too big to fail" needs to fail and every AI needs to suffer w/o assistance. Since students can't get bailed out from crushing student loans, corps shouldn't get a bailout either.

Besti parturinn er þegar AI risarnir verða too big to fail og fá alla skattpeninga heimsins til að redda sér í hruninu. 🥰

Most movies people will attempt (and fail) to make with AI will have that "cinematic" look with the blurry background devoid of visual haptic feedback, and no amount of prompts will be able to get the computer to understand, because most humans don't necessarily think about film to this degree.

It’s not enough for the ai industry to fail, we simply must learn how to murder the things
November 16, 2025 at 6:21 AM
i fail to see how you would continue to be invested in a franchise if it pivots to using AI...its like watchimg a family memeber turn into a zombie, just complete the 5 stages of grief and shoot them already.

The real AI "business model" is was to bring in all the politicians, billionaires, and major Wall Street players early with the promise of impossibly huge returns and set the whole thing up so that it would go from not even existing to "too big to fail" before anyone outside the scheme could stop it

Any company that lets AI take over the majority of jobs is going to fail pretty quickly.

Glad to hear that Steam offers refunds for titles that fail to disclose their AI usage, but I of course would be more vengeful
Also believe consequences should be extremely harsh for those that fail to disclose AI usage. Publisher as well.

These AI Tech bros are such whiners and hypocrites…they want government to BOTH lessen regulation on them (get government off our backs) AND get subsidies and backstops from the government (give us reduced prices for energy and bail us out if we fail—and now they are telling us they will fail)
November 18, 2025 at 3:42 PM
The reason AI is being pushed everywhere is because its merchants realise they are all in a bubble and the only way they can survive is if they get "too big to fail" and get a taxpayer bailout.
NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst.

It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know.

The Great AI Bubble
Yes, it's a bubble. And yes, it's going to burst.

The tech companies have deliberately spent the last couple of years trying to inject AI into everything for the purposes of making it "too big to fail."

It's not a matter of IF the bubble bursts, but WHEN. The longer it takes, the bigger it will be and the more damage it will do.
WSJ: “.. If the AI market blows up, the blast radius would be wide, hitting not only Wall Street firms, but also pensions, mutual and exchange-traded funds and individual investors, because of how debt is often sliced and resold across the financial landscape.”

Fascinating and insightful talk by @giadapistilli.com on Human-AI Companionship, presented at today’s @ellisinstitute.fi launch event in Helsinki

One of the key findings is that AI chatbots fail to set boundaries when users are most vulnerable, e.g., expressing love or loneliness

#AI & #CCS, a new escape hatch for oil and gas companies - CCS advocates and #FossilFuel firms are using AI’s energy demands to justify new fossil-fueled plants, greenwashed by CCS.

531 CCS lobbyists at #COP30 confirms the industry is committed to promoting proven-to-fail CCS
