iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Reporters writing stuff like this should be in prison. "acting on their own", no, it's software, it was programmed in such a way that this happened, Anthropic is criminally liable for its software. And by claiming they "acted on their own" you make yourselves accomplices to Anthropic's crime

Also, the slop engines they call "ai" are regurgitation software, it just slaps together pieces of what was stolen for their training data. Slopists are deluding themselves, it inherently can't make something new and perfectly personalized for the prompter, because of the above.

"three major publications" ... once again I'm convinced, this isn't because this slop is useful in any way The publications, like 'the Guardian" got into a 'strategic partnership' with some slop seller, or their CEO got paid off with some of the 500 million OpenAI or Anthropic spend on "marketing"

"this wouldn't have existed without AI anyway, it's not taking away any potential jobs or opportunities" if you do not have the willingness or drive to make something without AI, then it shouldn't exist AI is built off of stolen labor. Want art? Do or fund the labor.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Based on my own reporting on OpenAI's audited financials from 2025, it appears that Anthropic was a worse business (at least in that year), spending $2.75 make $1 versus OpenAI spending $2.60 to make $1. So many people told me this company was "more profitable"! www.wheresyoured.at/exclusive-op...

OpenAl Lost $38.5 Billion In 2025
2025 — OpenAl Had $13.07 Billion In Revenue, $34 Billion In Costs and Expenses, and $20.92 Billion In Losses, with a net loss attributable to the company of $38.53 Billion
• Revenue: $13.07 billion
• Cost of Revenue: $7.5 billion
• Research and Development: $19.18 billion
• Sales and Marketing: $5.73 billion
• General and Administrative: $1.57 Billion
• Total Costs and Expenses: $34 billion
• Loss from Operations: $20.92 billion

The Al lab spent $7.33 billion on compute and infrastructure last year, a threefold surge from 2024, accounting for more than half of its
$12.65 billion in total operating expenses.

Meanwhile METR is being positioned as an "independent" group that is evaluating the "safety" of the systems being built by Anthropic et al. But they are neither independent nor investigating actual safety. And that, is the kind of story we need the press looking into around these goons.
