    If we push a bit harder Europe may get rid of AI?

  3. The amount of money that has been spent on data centers could likely have fed the entire world's population a few times over.

    Good to see where our priorities lie.

    I went to my local grocery store a couple of days ago in the evening. I used the self serve kiosks as I only had 3 items and the one real clerk was busy with a big cart for another shopper.
    As I completed the transaction and started bagging, the older lady who handles the self serve machines came over to let me know I can put my bag in the area where the scanned items go.
    I thanked her and said "yes, but then it complains about 'unknown items in the bagging area'"

    Her reply was golden: "it's not human, you don't have to listen to the machines"

    I said with a big smile "yes, you are so right. We don't have to"
    I really wanted to hug her and give her a double high five, but that's not the kind of relationship I have with this lady... Yet.
    Though I think we would get along.

  12. Do you think there's a future where animation studios sponsor live streams of their artists working on projects to prove that they're not using AI?(and sell ​:ad:​ time) #NoAI

  14. @fedipete I think this question is a bigger deal than some folks might believe. The fact that Etsy is specifically supposed to be "hand made" or "artist made" and is overrun with slop items IMNSHO means that there is a non-measurable devaluation of art going on. Can you get AI based products for cheap(er) on Etsy? Sure. Are those items art? Some would argue they are not. Are those items the product of theft? Some would argue they are. How can an organization like Etsy moderate items without messing up a ton of edge cases? I have no idea.

    Having said all that, I do hope you'll return to this post (or make a new one) and tell us of your findings in your search for something better. 🎨

  20. Oh, the internet. Once a brilliant concept of bringing real people and communities together online. And yes, it still is.

    But what it also is now is a place full of trolls, AI slop, AI chatbots (and the occasional human) spreading scams and spam, or trying to show me nude images.
    No, thanks.

  23. They will try to enmesh every part of our lives online and on our personal hardware with intrusive ai models.

    How do you prove the use case for ai? Force people to use it and rely on it. From old people using Chatgpt and forming ai psychosis to kids using Meta's Muse Tamagotchi Charms.

    "The financial woes hanging over these companies are well known to readers of this blog. Once again, Nat’s excellent coverage has shown that financial analysts and informed commentators are warning that excessive debt, unbuilt capacity, and speculative narratives are approaching a wall of economic reality.

    For example, a leaked draft of Anthropic’s IPO prospectus shows that while 2025 revenue surged over 1,000% to $4.6 billion, the company posted an $8.06 billion operating loss and a staggering $42 billion net loss (partly attributed to liability write-downs). Anthropic faces over $518 billion in future cloud and compute commitments and relies heavily on just two customers for nearly 25% of its revenue.

    In another example, while reports cite OpenAI’s revenue run rate nearing $70 billion, audited 2025 figures show it lost $38.5 billion on $13.07 billion in revenue. The company is seeking a $30 billion bridge round at a $1.4 trillion valuation after pushing its IPO to 2027.

    In this scenario, what do we make of Alex Karp’s statement: “The only way to deal with this kind of liability is to go to the government and say, ‘Nationalize us, please’”?

    Karp can say it because Palantir has been basically a CIA protégé since its conception, and is so enmeshed in the surveillance and defense industry in the U.S. that it’s difficult to see where one ends and the other begins. However, what he’s saying here is different. He says that the only way to protect frontier models from intellectual property theft allegations and uncapped legal liabilities is to eventually seek or require nationalization."

  26. ...fucking seriously. According to open-slopware, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and even SQLite are all slop-tainted. The only alternative databases given are document-oriented or multi-model; there are no alternative relational databases in the list.

    Does anyone have an example of a non-slop-tainted RDBMS?
