"And the beast's number was 666"

The Monster drink logo is Hebrew numbers 666.

If I was S&P analyst, I would request audit of remaining compute capability...

...Between Anthropic and Google buying compute from #XAi there can't be much left to run #Grok ...which makes mockery of the claim of #SpaceX being an AI company.

Oh yeah, let's fucking (your word) insult folks who don't huff your ideology
That's going to end well.

I would like to retain you for your prescience powers, what do you charge per second.

Not sure if you are following #climatecatastrophe
Humanity is fucked even without Ai.

We breached 6 of the nine indicators necessary for humanity to survive. Howling at data centres is a distraction and performance art.

@pgcd @MiasAlt

I'm not sure you understand what "genocide" means

@MiasAlt

Worse than
The ovens?
Rap* of Nanjing?
Unit 731?
Russian invaders using 30mm canon to shoot fleeing civilians in Irpin?
Burning witches?
Genocide of first nations?
Hell, any Genocide.

No. Ai is not the worst thing to happen to humanity.
Not even in the top 10.

The internet.

You know, the nuclear resilient comms network.

You must have heard if it.

@sstrader @MikeElgan

I have old print mags with "Internet" mastheads.

That'd pretty much what's inside.
Carnivores trying to monetise it

The Internet was losing money for at least 20 years.

The "GenAI is Failing" Narrative: Let's Unpack This

In today's rapidly evolving AI landscape, it's easy to fall into common interpretive traps. Let me share some powerful insights on two "examples" being circulated as evidence that businesses are souring on GenAI.

Example #1: The Insurance Ad
"We still have humans" in an insurance commercial isn't evidence GenAI is failing — it's actually evidence GenAI is everywhere. Here's why this matters:

You don't pay for differentiation against something nobody is doing
The ad presupposes the saturation it claims to refute
Think of it like a "no GMO" sticker — it only exists because the alternative is mainstream

Example #2: The Job Ad
A job ad requesting "ability to develop software without AI assistance" is a competence floor, not a policy ban. Let's break this down:

It's not about prohibiting tools — it's about ensuring fundamentals
Same principle as asking a cashier to do mental arithmetic 🧮
Here's the kicker: the shops writing that line are often the very same ones running Cursor and Claude Code internally 🤯

The Real Issue: Sample Size
Sample n=2. That's not a trend — that's two anecdotes wearing a trenchcoat.

Key Takeaway

Two of the most anti-AI possible readings of ambiguous evidence isn't trendspotting — it's confirmation-bias mining. Full stop.
