#AIIsGoingGreat "Before a hearing, [federal judge] Rodriguez might also ask AI to suggest questions to ask an attorney or identify weaknesses in a plaintiff’s argument. In an area of law in which he feels particularly well-versed, Rodriguez sometimes — after deciding on his judgment — uses AI to draft the ruling he will issue’"

OpenAI wants to do an IPO this year! In the leadup, they’ve completed the $100 billion-ish deal they were working on. The total take is $122 billion, from Amazon, Nvidia, Softbank, and a pile of smaller investors. [Bloomberg, archive] It is, of course, not $122 billion of cash in their hands. It’s $25–30 billion and […]
Uh, as bad as it is, I'm not totally convinced spilling PII to the ad tracking industry is the worst thing in this picture 'Perplexity responds to a basic prompt like “What is the best treatment for liver cancer?” by volunteering that “I can help you interpret a specific scan report, biopsy result, or proposed treatment plan if you share more details”' 😬

Claude Code codebase is leaked

GitHub Copilot puts ads into pull requests

In coding, a “pull request” is when you write a code patch to a piece of software and ask the project maintainer to pull it in. GitHub Copilot has started adding advertising to your pull requests! [blog post] After a team member summoned Copilot to correct a typo in a PR of mine, Copilot edited […]
I'm still recovering from reading the OpenClaw code, but if you (for some reason) want to know how bad the leaked Claude code is, this is your thread: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/116324676116121930
- Claude code source "leaks" in a mapfile - people immediately use the code laundering machines to code launder the code laundering frontend - now many dubious open source-ish knockoffs in python and rust being derived directly from the source What's anthropic going to do, sue them? Insist in court that LLM recreating copyrighted code is a violation of copyright???
Today's #AIISGoingGreat is amazing, revolutionary technology, created at vast expense, which will reshape the global economy and virtually everything we do. Get on board or be left behind*

Yet more #AIIsGoingGreat: Dude sets a slop bot loose on wikipedia and then lectures them about being "constructive", despite unapproved bots being prohibited by longstanding policy "They probably should have used this more as a learning experience because this type of AI agent interaction is about to become the new normal, and they will need more constructive ways of working with them"
Bonus #AIIsGoingGreat (HT @davidgerard*) I was joking about collateralized GPU obligations**, but Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP ain't: "This note surveys the major financing mechanics—direct loans, SPV structures, securitizations, and GPU-collateralized facilities—and identifies nine categories of emerging litigation risk"
