This is all such nonsense but it's worth pointing out that not that long ago he was giving basically the same pitch for his app where you gave up location privacy in exchange for free fries. "AI" is not some lifelong dream of his. It's where the huckster winds blew. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5iz...
First look: Loopt provides more incentives to try location-based services with Loopt StarYouTube video by Robert Scoblewww.youtube.comDare Obasanjo“What we need to explain to the world: Number one, we are close to creating a genie that can grant any wish. Number two, we are going to make sure that our first wishes broadly benefit humanity” - Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI — This is definitely the opposite of Anthropic’s AI kills all jobs pitch.
Sure, OpenAI's supposedly next-level technology just did all this on its own, with no one watching, despite being given instructions and the interfaces to tools to do so, and it all happened while whoever was monitoring the tests was out getting coffee. That's totally how it happened, Your Honor.
Katie DrummondNEW: OpenAI’s “rogue” AI agent didn’t just breach Hugging Face — it also hacked multiple third-party accounts and services. It's now clear that the incident was more extensive than the company initially disclosed.
*Everything* "AI" companies do or say like this is an advertisement. This has been their marketing approach for literal years now. "We fear we may have invented God himself"...but also you will be able to purchase a premium plan for *your* business.
Ben CollinsThese "we have made an AI so powerful" warnings are straight-up advertisements, btw. No different than "we have made an Oreo so delicious all other snack artists must relent."
"AI" companies make a garbage product based on theft, which is pretty clearly bad, but the simple reason for this is that as people they are just evil assholes.

This is of course horseshit, and any article that reports OpenAI's claims about how wildly powerful their magic technology is should also mention that they're gearing up to do an IPO.
Al Jazeera EnglishThe 'singularity' refers to the point at which AI outpaces human intelligence and becomes difficult to control.
With the surface-level of analysis and discourse that usually happens, "looks like AI" has become a stand-in for "looks bad", or "I don't like that", or "doesn't look real". And it's fine (well, not really, always) to think that, but it's very important to make the distinction.
Ashley Lynch ✂️🎞️It's almost worse when AI witchhunters wrongfully accuse a piece of art of using AI than when people actually use AI. Don't get me wrong, if you used AI, then you created trash, but everyone is harmed by runaway accusations that aren't true. If you're gonna accuse, you damn well better be right.
More companies should do this.

This is all kinds of wrong. If you haven't seen DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES because you thought why would I want to see a movie about Dungeons & Dragons, all I can tell you is you are missing out. variety.com/2026/film/ne...
‘Dungeons & Dragons’ Sequel Was Written but May Never Be Filmed Due to ‘Financial Reasons’The "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" writers were hired to write a sequel, but it may never be filmed due to "financial reasons."variety.comDo we think the wealthy will behave any differently than they do now, controlling production, distribution, and hoarding wealth? Do we think robots will suddenly make people who now believe they deserve an unimaginable amount more than anyone else suddenly think oh, wait, I guess we'll share this!
Matt NovakAnother odd moment occurred when Musk insisted that work in the future would be "optional" because robots would do everything. Musk said people might still work in the future but compared it to people who grow their own backyard tomatoes. He said they could just go to the store for better tomatoes.
Fascinating indeed, and yet another example of how "AI" and "prediction markets" are steadily wrecking everything for everybody.

On one hand, I guess, good. But on the other it is absolutely infuriating that what amounts to compression and storage is covered as "fair use". arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...
