twitter being taken over by the oligarchs and neo-nazis to disrupt the "marketplace of ideas" and the proletariat from organising will always be a point of sorrow for me

If this AI bubble took out oracle sheesh that would be a bummer. Orgs have jumped in on things like oracle banking platform, oracle health and opera (hotels) and migrating off them to a new selection is sheesh 💰

I quite enjoy informed technical takedowns of the inflated bulldust coming out of the Palantir and anduril and Tesla etc. it’s acquire remarket hype and cash in on the stock value increases or a byzantine tech stack propped up by onsite support.

Also, the $42B loss is a bit clickbaity. It isn't a cash loss, but still. But I just love the $518 billion in future cloud, compute and infrastructure commitments. Forget that PC upgrade, kids. Forever.

Anthropic is effectively telling investors: AI may transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialisation, electricity or the Internet... ... while simultaneously warning them that advanced AI could create “catastrophic or existential risks to humanity.” Jeeez, decisions, decisions!

The 🇺🇸 economy is pretty much intellectual property theft, securities fraud and shonky debt fuelled real estate deals for unusable land at the moment. At least the last bubble left us with a load of dark fiber. When the NASDAQ craps itself what will be left of 🇺🇸 ? Will the petrodollar survive?

To assert that any contemporary AI can think or is conscious represents a particularly emaciated meaning of those words, and suggests that any author of such assertions has a profound misunderstanding of the exquisite nature of what it means to be human.
