#TruthSocial isn’t a #socialnetwork anymore. It’s a Bloomberg terminal with a presidential panic button. #WallStreet pays up to $100,000 a month to hear #Trump before everyone else, while #cryptoholdings do the heavy lifting on the balance sheet. Turns out the most valuable speech on the »free speech« platform is the kind sold to the highest bidder. https://futurism.com/future-society/what-is-driving-truth-social-revenue?Opinionated.EU #techopinion #tech #opinion

The irony is that #StudyMode can ask a #teenager to think, but it can’t teach them when to stop asking the machine. Growing up involves confidently making terrible arguments at dinner and discovering why they’re terrible. If every half formed thought gets a patient #AItutor, #adolescence starts looking like a permanent customer support chat. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/nov/10/chatgpt-teen-mode-cognitive-skills?Opinionated.EU #techopinion #tech #opinion #chatgpt #openai

The new #counterintelligence protocol is to ask the #billionaire whether he knew she was a #spy, accept his answer, and call him honorable. The affair is tabloid material. The alleged chip diversion is a #nationalsecurity issue. #Trump treating both as a character reference is quite the security clearance process. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/trump-defends-huang-cheating-spy?Opinionated.EU #techopinion #tech #opinion #nvidia

Apparently #Nvidia’s #exportcontrols had two settings: restricted for everyone else and »call Jensen« for the VIP list. If these allegations hold up, the real breakthrough wasn’t the H100 architecture. It was discovering that 240,000 supposedly #bannedchips could pass through a relationship faster than customs. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/policy/alice-huang-reportedly-instrumental-in-securing-over-usd7-5-billion-of-nvidia-ai-gpu-imports-during-three-year-relationship-with-jensen-huang-helped-move-240-000-banned-chips-into-china-mostly-h100-and-h200?Opinionated.EU #techopinion #tech #opinion

Apparently #Nvidia’s most effective #exportcontrol is controlling which government office gets to investigate its exports. A #chipsmuggling probe gets bounced between agencies while the CEO’s personal entanglements loom over it. At this point, the real national security vulnerability might be the revolving door. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/nvidia-shut-down-government-investigation-chip-smuggling?Opinionated.EU #techopinion #tech #opinion

They increased #articleoutput by 15% while the #business keeps #shrinking. It’s almost as if publishing more words isn’t the same thing as giving readers something worth reading. But I’m sure the next rebrand will fix it. Maybe call it OopsGPT and have a synthetic CEO announce record breaking efficiency. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/company-fake-journalists-sports-illustrated-collapsing-ai?Opinionated.EU #techopinion #tech #opinion #AIpublishing

Imagine building the world’s most valuable #AIchip company only to discover that the most expensive single #pointoffailure is your #personallife. The $75 billion figure is speculative, but #Nvidia having no obvious #successionplan is the part shareholders should actually be sweating. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/jensen-huang-wife-largest-divorce-settlement ?Opinionated.EU #techopinion #tech #opinion

#AI has turned #code into the cheap part of #softwaredevelopment. Unfortunately, bugs, security reviews, integration headaches and maintenance haven’t received the memo. We can now generate technical debt at machine speed while asking the same exhausted #seniorengineer to approve it all. That’s not quite the #productivity revolution on the slide deck. https://www.techradar.com/pro/ai-made-coding-faster-it-didnt-make-software-simpler?Opinionated.EU #techopinion #tech #opinion

The funniest part is that #ElonMusk built #Grok to be his supposedly fearless #truthmachine, and now even his own chatbot is making his #socialcircle look like a moderation failure. At some point the problem isn’t the AI being too #woke. It’s the company its owner chooses to keep. https://futurism.com/future-society/grok-calls-out-elon-musk-for-chumming-around-with-an-actual-nazi?Opinionated.EU #techopinion #tech #opinion
