Prediction by me: after lighting a trillion dollars on fire for so-called ‘AI’ with negative ROI, our stock market and economy will collapse. It’s only a question of when, not if. www.youtube.com/live/9ELXACQ... CMU paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2412.14161

The AI industry just dropped some numbers that should terrify every executive who's betting their company's future on AI agents. Carnegie Mellon researchers put these systems through real workplace tasks, and the results are brutal. OpenAI's flagship GPT-4o? Failed 91% of the time. Amazon's Nova? A catastrophic 98% failure rate. Even Google's best-performing agent failed 7 out of 10 basic office tasks. While VCs poured $131 billion into AI this year alone, the dirty secret is that these systems can't even handle tasks your intern could complete. Are we witnessing the most expensive tech failure in history, or is there something deeper going on here? The numbers don't lie, folks. While Silicon Valley has been screaming about AI agents replacing all of us, Carnegie Mellon just published the most comprehensive study yet on how these systems actually perform in real workplaces. The results should be a wake-up call for every business leader who's been drinking the AI Kool-Aid.

One year ago today 🌿 Hay bales starting their migration south in North Park. Once huge herds of these covered the plains, today their numbers are greatly reduced. These are done fattening up before their long journey rolling south.

A dozen or so hay bales fattening up before rolling south.

You may not like it, but it's cold hard logic. #spiderman

A frame from the 1960s Spiderman cartoon. Text above it quotes the theme song "Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can".
Underneath the image, text reads "Canonically, Spiderman can inject digestive juices that dissolve the target into a protein slurry he can consume to sustain himself."

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

Educators, you have to resist AI. That includes LLMs for "research" as well as AI classroom assistants. Advocate for admin to spend that money on your classrooms, not by handing it over to some weird tech bro who wants to buy another yacht.

Finally submitted a piece today for a book on AI. Feels great to get that done, but it's also kinda awkward wanting to use what I just wrote about 4000 times a day to put a cold dose of reality on AI hype conmen posts. I hope it gets read, the world needs a lot more AI criticism.

Be mean to antivaxxers! I am so serious. They are going to kill us all.

They don't deserve respect.

Yes there are problems. And yes mistakes get made. Maybe we can explore PR or ranked ballots, I'm all for it. Whatever the ballot though, the system that delivers, assesses and reports them works. We have an incredible electoral system, and we should celebrate it. Thank you to everyone involved. 🇨🇦

It's also vital that we maintain a robust defense of the goodness of the system and process. That people can respect and value participation by anyone for any role. That we fight back against attacks against election workers/officials, that we value even our political opponents. That is freedom.

I would encourage everyone to take the opportunity to work an election at least once. Whether an electoral body position, or a partisan one with a party they support. Seeing and engaging with the process is a meaningful and eye-opening experience. The more people that engage the better for Canada.
