I'll say it again for the people in the back IF YOU WORK AT THESE COMPANIES AND NOT ACTIVELY SABOTAGING YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM

I picked up his book at the airport a year ago cause it was buy 1 get 1 free. Gonna throw that book out without reading cause this dude seems so disconnected to reality I genuinely cant take him serious. Seems like a grifter like joe rogan who just eats up the slop fed to him. Good job Ed

Havent had any particular bad experiences on here but in general I think any kind of algorithmic social media needs to be permanently banned. We are (me included) too stupid to interact with it and just act like sponges for whatever echo chambers we find ourselves in

I've been telling people for over a decade now if they work at facebook / instagram that they are part of the problem. They are always shocked because they assume id be impressed they work there. IF YOU WORK AT THESE COMPANIES AND NOT ACTIVELY SABOTAGING YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM

This is the most difficult part about explaining AI to someone. Also people using AI to "debunk" stuff. "Is this video AI generated" is already preloaded and it will tell you what you want to hear. The only way to go is its literally all made up there is no in between. Dont trust it

@edzitron.com when this is all done and the dust has settled please consider writing a book about all of this. I will preorder that shit!

So can everyone who purports to be left-leaning and anti-fascist - yet still actively uses X - start explaining themselves? Not that there's any valid excuses left, but I genuinely don't understand what it's going to take for people to move on.

For the first time in my career @github.com is actually blocking us from doing work by just having different services being offline or unavailable. Retry the action & the cache is offline. Retry again and cant pull docker images because registry timed out. This is insane. #dev #github #devops

In a functioning, stable and flourishing economy, every part of the industry flourishes. In a bubble, infrastructure bulks up, funded by debt, and explodes once the demand fails to arrive. And AI demand barely exists outside of two companies. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-ais-circular-psychosis/
I realize I’ve taken some very big swings recently, but every bit of research I’ve done has reaffirmed my position that AI demand is bordering on non-existent when you remove OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and NVIDIA’s endless backstops, which should be completely illegal but are now a readily-accepted part of the markets.

Those who might disagree should think very deeply about why almost every neocloud is funded by NVIDIA, backstopped by NVIDIA, uses NVIDIA’s contracts to raise debt to buy GPUs from NVIDIA, and has the majority of its revenues propped up by either NVIDIA, Microsoft, or Meta. 

While AI boosters would argue that this is “the necessary infrastructure investment to build the future of the tech industry,” I see no real proof that that future exists. 

Then there’s the nasty two-pronged fuckery that both the AI infrastructure providers and their clients are horribly unprofitable. OpenAI cannot afford to exist, and neither can Anthropic. Perplexity? Horribly unprofitable, barely alive, and desperately trying to flog an OpenClaw clone. I wish I had more examples here of companies that actually pay for AI compute, but the lack of concrete examples of massive demand from specific entities suggests that it doesn’t exist.

What deeply worries me is the amount of real money that’s chasing this illusory industry. The RAM and memory crisis is a function of dumb money funded by debt building data centers that take 18-24 months to turn on with no guarantees that the power exists, and even if it does, I can find little evidence that the customers exist to pay that debt back. 

In a functioning, stable and flourishing economy, every part of the industry flourishes. 

In a bubble, infrastructure bulks up, funded by debt, and explodes once the demand fails to arrive. 

In the end, OpenAI and Anthropic are the only companies that have any use for the massive amounts of compute being built, and their demand for said compute is entirely manufactured by Google, Amazon and Microsoft, all three of which could’ve demanded they were more efficient or in any way sustainable.

Honestly i think building my own engine has made me look at games in a completely different light. I never really appreciated the amount of work involved in making the games i loved until i really started digging under the hood
