Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.
Gotta admit after more than two years of being called a crank and a doomer for saying that businesses will flinch when they’re made to pay the real costs of AI it’s nice to see this in the newspaper
Wrote an 8000 word piece artfully framing ai data centers as the subprime mortgages of AI, only for Jim Cramer to outdo me by saying that he “likes data centers so much he wished he lived in one”
The AI bubble talk is everywhere now. It’s impossible to avoid. They’re afraid! They all feel in their bones that something is wrong. Everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop, even the boosters are anxious. An era of smiles dawns!
Meta selling its compute capacity...Oracle warning everybody that it might not get paid by OpenAI...going on a major business TV show tomorrow...the Summer of Smiles has begun
Anthropic's newest model is straight up saying that the AI labs effectively no path to profitability outside of an economic miracle that arrives in time with their debts. Incredible stuff. Congratulations on Anthropic for creating a model powerful enough to realize it's a shitty business. lol
ahhahahah they did a new AI 2027 called “AI 2040” that begins basically saying that in 2027 “most of the work of AI agents will be slop.” Turns out the thing that everybody took seriously was just dogshit science fiction written by imbeciles
as a general note, I automatically block anybody who sends me any AI outputs. anyone who thinks it's cute to share "what gemini thinks" or whatever needs to realize i do not care
The OpenAI-Apple lawsuit is so funny, it’s just exhibit after exhibit of a guy saying “hey guys i have access to this laptop of trade secrets, where do you want them” and ”yeah I’m not meant to have this for sure!”
Every three weeks there’s a video of the CEO of Deepmind saying something insane about how we’re 5 years from AGI, and if you respond saying he sounds like an idiot someone says “umm that’s SIR Demis Hassabis? He won a Nobel peace prize?” Like you realize somebody can get that and still sound dumb
