twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Following back my new #MusicSky followers. Might be a while as there are quite a few of you and need to weed out some of the spam and other bots. :)

Me: My sense of fashion is NOT questionable!!!
My wife: Sure, Lars, sure.

We all give Atlassian products shit. Yet we all use them, and the company running them appears to not be evil.

Not a bad thing these days.

Specific language models are great for navigating highly specific jargon-heavy stuff.

This includes your enterprises local sharepoint data dumpster or confluence. :)

Sterker nog, al ben je het wel eens m.b.t. beide onderwerpen, dan nog heeft het één niets met het ander te maken.

Also, how does a software company become profitable without R&D?

Lars Rosenquist @calvobianco.com · 18h

Someone claimed "OpenAI would be profitable if they ditched their R&D".

If the one thing your company is building is preventing it from making a profit, that's not very good is it?

Lars Rosenquist @calvobianco.com · 18h

Oof. This may be going faster than I thought it would.

"OpenAI would be profitable if they stop building products".

Rrriight. I think I'm signing out of this convo.

Google switching regular search (with a large amount of users) with AI Mode and then claiming '<number of search users> using AI Mode' when all they did was bait-and-switch.

Disgusting tactic, but I think they'll get away with it as long as focus will be on the two main culprits.

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.

As I mentioned in another reply: once the bubble pops and the recession hits, governments worldwide will be looking to pass the blame to someone other than themselves.

Lars Rosenquist @calvobianco.com · 20h

With so many things beyond our control, just do what you enjoy I guess. Good for them!

Dutch newspapers reported this morning that investors are catching on as well.

These schemes from Altman and Huang will not last much longer I think. When the bubble blows, they're going to be the perfect scapegoats for Trump to blame the recession on.

Lars Rosenquist @calvobianco.com · 20h

From the article itself: "largely unproven as an avenue for profit-making".

Important distinction.

Lars Rosenquist @calvobianco.com · 20h

Main stream financial media is catching on to the financial scheming of Huang and Altman.

Judging from this morning's Dutch newspapers: investors and markets already catching on (albeit slowly) as well.

This will not end well. And I predict that history will not be kind to these two gentlemen.

NVIDIA and OpenAi:

Concerns that their “increasingly complex and interconnected web of business transactions is artificially propping up the trillion-dollar AI boom.“

The fact that the main stream is finally catching on is great.

It's also very scary, as investors and markets slowly become aware, then quickly.

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Naomi Alderman @naomialderman.bsky.social · 22h

I cannot understand what these people think the purpose of human life is?

It is *not* "pursue joy, deal justly, love well, try to understand as much and see as much of this beautiful world and of the deepness, richness and variety of human culture and experience as you can before you die"?

Tim Worthington @outonbluesix.bsky.social · 22h

How is this repeatedly made into a policy issue - by *all* parties - when the blunt fact of the matter is that grown adults who are obliged to pay for their own education, and relentlessly pursued to repay their loans, should be able to study whatever the fuck they want.
