AI usage is stagnating in the US..
"..usage of US models actually fell in the most recent week. The story of a huge AI boom is usage rising at an extremely rapid, and maybe even increasing, pace. A decline in usage is not supposed to be in the cards."Chinese AI is 1/5 the price of US AI..
"Chinese AI that is comparable in quality for most uses and sells for a fifth or even a tenth the price will pose a serious obstacle."The #aibubble gets bigger...

‘Those who condemn AI are themselves spitting upward’: SoftBank’s CEO estimates $5 trillion needed annually to meet AI demand
“Those who refuse to evolve are closing down their world. Those who condemn AI are themselves spitting upward,” Son added.

CW: AI Bullshit
I never thought I’d be conceding that tech has become a fucking religion. Then I heard VPs, grown-ass adults with budget authority over actual human beings, describe themselves as “true believers” in AI.
“True believers.” Their actual God damned words. Not “I evaluated the evidence.” Not “here’s where it works and where it fails.” Belief. Faith. In a statistical text generator they could not explain if you held their bonus, wife, and LLM-parented offspring hostage.
Here’s what makes my blood boil about faith in the board room, VP sphere and C-suite: a true believer needs no Real fucking evidence, so no verifiable evidence will ever change their minds unless it hits their bank account. Or over-indexed investments in AI. They mandate AI for problems it can’t solve and impact the lives of the people who could solve those problems if they were given half the empowerment they give their faith-enhanced savior tech. They cargo-cult whatever the flashiest vendors (who’ve been around less time than the Switch 2 has been out, but are now self-professed AI experts) preached at the last overhyped AI conference. And when someone walks in with data that contradicts the gospel, that person gets branded a heretic, “resistant to change”, ostracized and increasingly, much worse. The one real fucking adult in the room gets managed out while the congregation nods along. The only way to survive is to keep singing from the fuckwit hymn book and hope the worship ceremony ends soon.
I’ve spent almost 30 years breaking software, hardware, security, performance, etc. for a living. Everything. Has. Fucking. Failure. Modes. EVERYTHING. My entire discipline exists because every company that ever said “trust me, it works” and wanted to bypass expert validation, real actual disciplined work, got burned to the fucking ground by it. The “dark factory” board room wet dream of AI will be more like the company burning itself to the ground in the pursuit of salvation.
These high level company people aren’t leading. They’re witnessing. Your VP doesn’t understand the technology, he understands the sermon, and now your roadmap is a fucking prosperity gospel: believe harder, sacrifice your best engineers on the altar, and the ROI will surely come.
It won’t. It never does. But it will impact the real lives of real people with real skills while rewarding the charlatans who keep right on fooling the idiots who are fine with being wrong because being wrong is the safe bet when the majority of the idiot US economy is betting on the same tech-as-savior.
When it all goes to shit, the AI tech dudebros will just rebrand the diminished shit as “2.0.” Or their asinine “New Testament.”

I was thinking about the term "Luddite" today. I've read @brianmerchant's work and I identify with the historical movement, but not the colloquial term. I was reflecting on the difficulty of explaining the difference.
Then I recalled the Orphan-Crushing Machine meme. That one is so simple!
I'm not opposed to technology or AI. I love it. But I am opposed to orphan-crushing. I see a dangerous enthusiasm for orphan-crushing in the tech industry today.

The UK Gov #GovUK wants to repeat the madness of Ireland in a blind rush to build data centres that will benefit nobody and destroy the planet, just in time for the great #aibubblecrash of 2027. Which of course, will be bailed out by the British Public.

The quote is also very on-brand for #OpenAI: “I have no idea about x, but It looks like x, so who knows, maybe it is x? Try it anyway!” 🙄 #AIHype #Slopification

Gestern hat die Europäische Kommission reichlich verspätet ihre #TechSovereigntyPackage vorgelegt. Ist es die erhoffte Antwort auf Basisinitiativen wie #UnplugTrump und #DIday? Es sieht nicht so aus.
@alineblankertz meint, es gehe der EU-Kommission in dem Strategiepapier v.a. darum, Nachfrage für »KI«-Rechenzentren und -Chips zu generieren – in der Hoffnung, dass die EU-Industrie ein Scheibchen davon abbekommt: https://indieweb.social/@alineblankertz/116692284482725366
Das deckt sich mit der Einschätzung europäischen Digitalrechte-Dachorganisation @edri : https://eupolicy.social/@edri/116686684971074313
Nur einen Aspekt findet #EDRi an dem Papier positiv: die anerkennenden Worte über die #FOSS-Gemeinschaft: https://eupolicy.social/@edri/116686692215990866
Aber Worte sind billig. Die Bundesregierung hat die FOSS-Förderung gerade erst zusammengestrichen.
PS: @esthermenhard hat für @netzpolitik_feed weitere Kommentare gesammelt. Spoiler: alle negativ. https://netzpolitik.org/2026/rechenzentren-in-der-eu-stromfresser-sollen-uns-souveraen-machen/

Indeed. If the output produced by LLMs can be seen as extremely professional, that's because there's a whole cleaning/curating/editing chain working all the time behind the scenes. Of course that chain only works due to the intelligence, judgment, and critical thinking of human workers...
"There is a certain wildness in the tech industry these days that both mimics previous eras of large changes, like cloud computing (runaway costs in the early days), and is like nothing we’ve ever seen before (record revenues accompanied by mass layoffs).
One possible explanation: Tech executives, especially CEOs, are collectively suffering from delusions of AI grandeur. And at least one tech CEO has said as much out loud: Box founder Aaron Levie.
“CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because they’re sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI,” Levie wrote on X.
CEOs “play with AI,” develop a prototype, or generate a contract, to use Levie’s examples, and then make the leap to believing agents can do the work.
But these top-level executives aren’t the people who have to review code, discover bugs, and identify calls to hallucinated libraries before software is deployed. They aren’t responsible for training AI models on a company’s idiosyncratic contract terms, nor do they have to spend days combing through contracts to find sneaky terms, as Levie indicates.
In other words, Levie’s theory posits, CEOs don’t really understand processes well enough to know what really can and can’t be automated. But that lack of knowledge doesn’t stop them from acting on their beliefs.
It’s important to note that Levie is not an AI hater. Quite the opposite. He mostly posts AI positivity on X to his 2.7 million followers, writing blogs titled “Headless software is the future” on how software built for AI agents is the way forward."

"Tech CEOs are apparently suffering from AI psychosis" by @TechCrunch - Being farthest removed from the "last mile" where work needs to be done, CEOs are vulnerable to falling for a trap which they as leaders hold responsibility to prevent. Those who act on their beliefs without restraint are setting up their companies for failure. The article author hopes enough CEOs will get training to understand limits of #AI #tech. https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/27/tech-ceos-are-apparently-suffering-from-ai-psychosis/ #AIhype #AIpsychosis #business #oops #WTF

A Reddit post about the frustration of a developer who contributed #emacsclient support to #Gemini CLI, only for #Google to transition the tool to an enterprise-only, closed-source model shortly after.
[…] My takeaway is that in the future I will think very carefully before contributing again to non-FOSS projects.
https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/1tkn8sw/emacsclient_landed_in_gemini_cli_and_why_i_wont/
Yes. Also, the small problem of Google and AI use in genocide and war crimes, but not a priority I guess.
