Okay so let me get this right

1) OpenAI has to go public before the end of the year or they have to pay back their investors and face legal charges from several US states
2) There's only enough venture capital left to keep the economy running for another year and a half

So it baffles the mind that industry pros keep saying "Oh well, there'll always be a little left in the fringes that the odd person will use"
From where I sit that is a physical and financial impossibility

5) AI is not a profitable business model and never has been, it cannot turn a profit.

If that's all true, when the bubble bursts, there will be no money to pay for land tax, workers, water or fuel for data centers. They Will Close

3) Data centres are full of GPUs that Only work to run Generative AI and Nothing else (much like what we saw with crypto) and cannot be repurposed At All. They're scrap
4) they're really fucking expensive to build and run

2.5) and what OpenAI is asking for in terms of financing far exceeds the amount of money currently in existence on planet Earth

Kneecap @kneecapceol.bsky.social · 11h

A wee message from us 👇

A Message to the Police (British) State

News of a Crown Prosecution Service Appeal against the ruling of their own judge is unsurprising.

He ruled the charge was ‘unlawful and null’ and it was.

It is unsurprising because this whole process has not been driven by the police or the courts, it has been driven by politicans backed up by British media. This is political policing.

There is no ‘important point of law’. The CPS have submitted nothing new in their appeal. What there is though, is a state wide witch-hunt against Palestinian solidarity.

The media were gleefully informed about this appeal before we were.

😠

A Message to the Police (British) State

Once again this is a massive waste of taxpayers money, of police time, of court time.

Once again there are endless news reports about Mo Chara, about Kneecap but we are NOT the story.

Yesterday 104 Palestinians were murdered in Gaza and hundreds more maimed as Israel commits genocide.

Entire families wiped out, people bombed to pieces as they slept, young kids with limbs blown off and no medicaine to treat them.

This is aided and supported by the British State.

We will fight you in your court again. We will win again.

What I really wish universities and art schools would start thinking about is how their name could be like an Organic stamp of skill and quality-assurance; that any student associated with their name could say to an employer "I am properly trained and have real skills, and can do my job reliably"

I don't understand teachers who waste their students' time explaining how to use GenAI. There are youtube tutorials for that shit.
When I was studying translation, there was already software around to do most of the work, but we were still taught the damn craft, not the tech

Yeaaaaah.... meanwhile, according to the lecturers at the biggest unis in the world, the quality don't even allow screens in the classrooms their kids are attending
Thinking about That a lot

I haven't been on IG for a couple of years now, but was listening to this a few days ago and it made me even sadder for the people attached to it

Sounds like it's becoming a very stepford wife-y place in a lot of ways that doesn't leave a lot of space open for proper creativity

No social media space since the invention of the smart phone is a haven. They're labs for commerce. Go hang out in your friend's shitty apartment.
