"First, you can’t (or at least shouldn’t) use this technology for mission-critical work; only for low stakes tasks, or questions to which a clever (and significantly more energy efficient) human can recognize a wrong answer.

Second, that the idea that scaling will make for better models is nonsense: no amount of compute chucked at an LLM will make it a less-hallucinogenic product. Creating AI that rewires itself and creates new information the same way humans do and avoids the kinds of catastrophic errors we see at the moment needs a full fresh start (something Marecki and many others are already working on).

And third, that the massive spending by the hyperscalers (much of it via debt) on giant data centers might be one of the the greatest misallocations of capital of all time. It just isn’t required. That’s particularly the case given there are already free LLM models you can download to a laptop (no data center needed, and better still, your privacy guaranteed) that do what the very large models do. If the paid-for versions have already hit their ceiling and just aren’t going to get any better (it looks like they aren’t), why pay for them? Quite."

Where can I buy AI socks and which brand is the best?
Who makes the best #AI socks?

How did I even make it this far without AI socks?

I am put off by pitch correction and over-produced music with few or no actual instruments. The roughness of analog music is what takes a song from being good to being memorable. Genius is revealed to a human mind as the product of another imperfect human mind and talent. I only hope that live music can keep us going until the AI balloon deflates to justifiable size, when imperfections will be required as stamps of authenticity.

The #AIBubble cannot burst soon enough.

Sure, #LLM systems will probably remain with us. But without the Bubble, the trillion dollar business case for "let's scrape every website a thousand times per month in the hopes of finding some new scrap of training data" should vanish. I hope...

One thing that surprised me about the #ClaudeLeak, that nobody seems to talk about, is how there are prompts and secret stuff in the client, when it is communicating with a server side model. Like why? Why not put the prompts and everything else magic and special sause in the server, where it can't be analyzed?

“In totality, the AI industry seems to have made about $65 billion in revenue (not profit!) in 2025, with I estimate about a third of that being the result of OpenAI or Anthropic feeding money to hyperscalers or neoclouds like CoreWeave, and a billions more being AI startups (funded entirely by VC) feeding money to Anthropic and OpenAI to rent their models.

Even the venture capital scale of AI startups is drastically overestimated. While (as reported by The New York Times) “AI startups” raised $297 billion in the first quarter of 2026, $188 billion of that was taken by OpenAI (which has yet to fully receive the funds!), Anthropic, xAI, and Waymo. In 2025, $425 billion was invested in startups globally, with half of that (about $212.5 billion) going to AI startups, but about half of that ($102 billion) going to Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Scale AI’s not-quite-acquisition by Meta, and Bezos’ Project Prometheus.

The great financial crisis was, as I’ll get into, a literal collapse of how banks, financial institutions, and property businesses operated, with their reckless speculation on a housing market that was only made possible by a craven mortgage industry incentivized to get people to sign at any cost. When people speculated that there was a bubble, articles ran saying that housing was actually cheap, that subprime lending had actually “made the mortgage market more perfect,” that the sky was not falling in the credit markets because unemployment wasn’t going to rise, that subprime mortgages wouldn’t hurt the economy, and that there was no recession coming.”

Most of my AI criticism has been about:

1. It's not very useful

2. The money invested will not be recouped because noone will pay for something that's not very useful

But in my my laser focus, I missed the following:

3. The majority of people hate fucking AI, hate fucking data centres, and hate the companies pushing this shit.

No sé mucho de economía, pero he caído en cómo la IA y la reducción de puestos de trabajo puede ser una forma de acumulación y de aumentar la tasa de ganancia.

He encontrado un artículo, pero si tenéis más lecturas al respecto, son bienvenidas

"Corporate spending on AI infrastructure now contributes more to GDP growth than household consumption, an unprecedented inversion that shows how much growth is being driven by speculative investment rather than productive expansion.

This dynamic pulls down the rate of profit, and when the speculative flow reverses, contraction will follow".
