The entire tech industry suffering AI psychosis and doing layoffs because they thought Claude would be able to replace their workers in a few months only for Claude to get unusably worse instead is a master class how not to fall for hype.
Bill Gates says the quiet part out loud. The era of technology killing jobs and creating new ones is over. As long as it involves thinking AI can do it while robots are coming for physical labor. It’s not if but when. It’s an uncomfortable realization and one no government is seriously tackling.
One of the reasons I expect AI usage by businesses to increase is that using AI creates problems that are only fixed by using more AI. We use AI to write code and now there’s too much code to review. Do we (A) use less AI to reduce the flood OR (B) use AI for code reviews as well Rinse & repeat.
To comply with the EU AI Act, Anthropic will now watermark text and photos created by Claude and digitally sign files it creates to indicate they were generated by AI. So going forward text generated by Claude will be detectable as generated by AI programmatically.
The problem with hiring “AI natives” is that if you aren’t careful then all you’ve done is hire people who were very good at asking ChatGPT to do their homework.
Tech execs don’t even have a theory of mind for tech workers. That’s why they see nothing wrong with pitching a glorious future of ongoing layoffs and replacing workers with AI while their businesses are making more money than ever. They simply can’t see how this is incredibly counterproductive.
Can you imagine having to maintain 100,000 lines of AI slop code written by one of your VPs?
Geoffrey Hinton admitted he was wrong that AI would replace radiologists. Healthcare demand is elastic, so cheaper/faster scan reading creates more scans, and radiologists do more than interpret images. What many people fail to consider is AI automating tasks is not the same as eliminating the job
It’s a common practice for AI companies to buy the internal data from dead startups for training models. That said, I was still shocked to see that Google bought all of Spirit Airways enterprise data to train Gemini. Gemini now knows about your preference for window seats.
OpenAI has said its models will no longer be available in Cursor “based on our experience with Elon Musk's companies violating contracts.” 😬 They cite prior instances of Twitter and xAI violating their contracts with OpenAI. America’s most famous billionaire is also its scammiest.
