A disappointing but correct outcome. AI reporters should know chatbots make up quotes, and there are only 3-4 in an article, so why not double-check they are correct with a little Ctrl+F? Basic skill. (Follow up to our episode, @jeffjarvis.bsky.social @leolaporte.me) futurism.com/artificial-i...

As if data centers couldn't get more ridiculous, they're now putting diamonds in them. Lab-grown diamonds are a unique (and science-backed) solution to slashing electricity consumption. And one US tech company ordered $300M worth of AMD chips full of 'em.

Women’s sports still struggle to gain respect even at the highest level. Trump says he’s “going to have to” invite the 🥇-winning women’s hockey team or he “would be impeached.” The FIFA president forcibly kissed a Spanish player after winning the 2023 World Cup. So much work to be done.

U Mad? Onstage Snub Between OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs Has a Backstory
Their feud runs deep, dating back to 2021, when Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and his sister, President and Co-Founder Daniela Amodei, left OpenAI to found a more "trusted" company. The two have since built Anthropic into a runaway success, mostly thanks to a narrow focus on programming and Claude Code. Anthropic might even be getting a bit cocky; it aired a Super Bowl ad criticizing ChatGPT, prompting an X rant from Altman. The momentum has continued since then with the release of a new model, Sonnet 4.6, and a fresh $30 billion funding round—bringing its total funding past OpenAI's, Pitchbook reports.

Just saw my second ChatGPT ad, this time on desktop. Anyone else seeing them yet? Very ad-like! Not at all as "integrated" and helpful as Altman made them seem. This one is for StubHub, which had zero to do with what I was asking about.

This is a good time for an overdue PSA. AI will always make up quotes, even if you think it’s just picking out real ones from a primary source. It’s compulsively “creative,” and that has been a problem for years in my testing. Everyone should be aware of this, especially this AI reporter.
