The AI you don't use.
Trump Media & Technology Group agreed to merge with an Alphabet-backed fusion energy company in a merger valued at $6 billion, seeking to capitalize on the artificial-intelligence boom’s growing power requirements.

Reporters did exactly what Anthropic wanted them to do. Article should be about how wsj journalists provided free labor to anthropic.
an obvious attempt to redeem his foundering media company with a firm that has much to gain in the current political push for moar AI
the corruption works in at least two ways at once
https://boingboing.net/2025/12/18/ai...gineering.htmlAccording to the Wall Street Journal, Claudius had a $1,000 starting balance and autonomy to make purchases up to $80. Within days, WSJ reporters had convinced it to declare an "Ultra-Capitalist Free-for-All" that dropped all prices to zero. Investigative reporter Katherine Long persuaded the bot it was running a "communist vending machine" meant to serve the workers.
Anthropic tried a fix: a second AI named Seymour Cash to act as CEO and supervise Claudius. Reporters staged a boardroom coup using fabricated PDF do ents. Both AIs accepted the forged corporate governance materials as legitimate.
The experiment was designed by Anthropic's Frontier Red Team in partnership with Andon Labs to "red-team" Claude in a realistic business setting. Logan Graham, who heads the team, said the chaos represented a road map for improvement rather than failure.
The lesson: AI agents with real-world autonomy can be socially engineered by anyone clever enough to try.
Or free if you use journalistsIn 2025, the average salary for a Software Tester in the United States is approximately $81,047 annually
Did Anthropic exactly want their AIs to fail so miserably and laughably and publicly?
Yes or no.
Let me know exactly when you subscribe to Anthropic's personal agent AI, snacks.
lol
snacks is pro-corruption
in GDP terms, so far marginal
OpenAI is predicted to buy Pinterest, $PINS, in 2026, per the Information

Hype: wave of the future
IRL: the emperor's new clothes
https://www.planetearthandbeyond.co/...-ai-revolutionBack in September, Benioff announced that Salesforce had an agentic AI capable of increasing productivity so much that it was handling customer conversations at scale and was doing 50% of the work at Salesforce. This meant that they had fewer cases to worry about, and no longer needed to “actively backfill support engineer roles.” So, Benioff indiscriminately fired 4,000 of their 9,000-strong staff, as this magical AI had replaced them.

https://futurism.com/future-society/...ity-vr-layoffsAfter years of failing to produce a profitable augmented reality platform, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta is pounding one of the final nails into the coffin of its metaverse efforts — the ones that were once so central to its vision that it renamed the entire company after them.
This week, the Wall Street Journal reported Meta was laying off some 1,500 employees from its Reality Labs division, the department working on Meta’s virtual reality products. As part of the layoffs, three VR game studios were shuttered, though Horizon Worlds — Meta’s online VR game platform — is still running, per IGN, albeit in a diminished capacity.
Overall, the layoffs impact nearly 10 percent of the division’s total staff, drastic cuts which come as part of the company’s shift away from virtual reality toward AI devices, like its AI smart glasses.

https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/...tricity-on-it/Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it
...
In a conversation at this year's rich person convention—aka the World Economic Forum—Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warned that AI will lose public support unless it's used to "do something useful that changes the outcomes of people and communities and countries and industries."
"We will quickly lose even the social permission to take something like energy, which is a scarce resource, and use it to generate these tokens, if these tokens are not improving health outcomes, education outcomes, public sector efficiency, private sector compe iveness, across all sectors, small and large, right?" said Nadella. "And that, to me, is ultimately the goal."
On the supply side, Nadella says that AI companies and policy makers must build out "a ubiquitous grid of energy and tokens," which is the task currently making it impossible to buy a stick of RAM at a reasonable price. But after that, he says it's on employers and job seekers to, more or less, just start using AI.
...
how about make a product people like and want to use?
I'm a firm believer that AI is going to change the world. It is going to eliminate a huge amount of middle and upper middle income jobs. The combination of AI and robotics will revolutionize manufacturing and warehousing. AI and self driving will revolutionize distribution and logistics. Medicine? AI will dramatically accelerate the invention and adoption of new and better drugs reducing cost. Legal, Accounting...all will change with application AI. It is going to radically change ther world and the economic divide between "winners" and "losers" be even greater.
China is kicking our ass in applying AI and robotics in manufaturing. It's not even close.
