The AI bubble and the global polycrisis
[Full text: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/03/27/the-ai-bubble-and-the-global-polycrisis/]
The AI bubble is a symptom of our wider economic problems. It’s the last thing masking the bigger systemic issues — so they don’t show up in the macro numbers. Just on the ground. But the US bombed Iran, and Iran shut the supply lines for the world. Whoops. Matteo Wong and Charlie Warzel at […]
BuzzFeed goes AI — then it goes broke
[Full text: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/03/26/buzzfeed-goes-ai-then-it-goes-broke/]
BuzzFeed is a website famous for its happy clickbait, listicles and quizzes. It even used to have a top-quality news section, BuzzFeed News! And it’s about to go broke. What happened? AI happened. In December 2022, BuzzFeed CEO and founder Jonah Peretti saw the newly-released ChatGPT — and it one-shotted him: [CNN, archive] Peretti told […]
#AIIsGoingGreat… so great it's opening up a whole new branch of psychiatry: "There seem to be three common delusions in the cases Brisson has encountered. The most frequent is the belief that they have created the first conscious AI. The second is a conviction that they have stumbled upon a major breakthrough in their field of work or interest and are going to make millions. The third relates to spirituality and the belief that they are speaking directly to God"

So I thought this was SBU trolling, given the very strong indications Ukrainian drones *have* gone through Belarusian airspace in the attacks mentioned, but on closer inspection, it appears Google decided to translate "ДПСУ" as "State Border Guard Service of the Republic of Belarus" 😬 . Oddly, translating just the paragraph gets it right. This seems like a very #LLM-y failure mode
Walmart dumps OpenAI at the checkout
[Full text: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/03/24/walmart-dumps-openai-at-the-checkout/]
OpenAI has spent the last year trying to get people to do their shopping inside ChatGPT, so OpenAI could take a cut of each sale. OpenAI aspired to agentic commerce — a bot spends your money for you. In September, OpenAI set up Instant Checkout in ChatGPT. In October, OpenAI netted Walmart! [OpenAI; Walmart] Unfortunately, […]
I think Vine was around for longer than Sora... For that matter, probably so was the Microsoft Zune.
So, "AI" is going great, right?

Layoffs don’t boost the share price — they drop it
[Full text: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/03/23/layoffs-dont-boost-the-share-price-they-drop-it/]
It’s common wisdom that doing a layoff sends your stock price up. But what if that wasn’t true? Elsie Peng at Goldman Sachs analysed layoffs between July and November 2025 and what the stock price did afterwards. [MarketWatch] On average, a layoff was followed by the stock price going down 2% over the following two […]
