I haven't even found a use for the free services. Even less have I paid for any of them.

I had to explain to an enthusiast that archaeological data are extremely non-standardised in their format. If you pour them blindly into a machine learning app then it can't tell the information about prehistory apart from the information about the situation when a certain chunk of data was committed to paper. In like 1850, 1925 and 1998.

I don’t know if you’re a masochist^Wfan of a 19,000-word Ed Zitron rant, but if you are, this is a good read.

Ed’s framing of the present-day stock hype cycle as “enshittification of shareholders” is pretty apt. Analysts are incentivized to *sell stock*, not provide a reporting of things as they are. As a result, they become complicit in risk-laundering, causing stock prices to go ever higher, and putting shareholders (that’s you and me) at higher risk than we realize.

Although this seems to be a market-wide problem, nowhere is it worse than in the AI industry. The article claims that the valuations of AI companies are based on future promises of revenue in a way that is *way* beyond the norm; the odds that all of these promises come to pass is basically zero, and the odds that many, MANY dominos fall when only a few of those promises fail to deliver is quite high; and the time of reckoning for those promises is nigh: probably starting in 2026.

Hey Guys, gals, people and pets, Satya Nadella is getting tired of people calling AI Slop output AI Slop. If everyone can stop that's be great as it is upsetting Microslops share holders.

Don't start calling Microslop Microslop or use the #microslop tag as it might burst the AI bubble and then Microslop might have to take SlopPilot out of Windows. As you know, that would be terrible.

If you read ONE THING about #AI and the #AIBubble and its impact on jobs, creators and artists, then read #CoryDoctorow ( @pluralistic) 's speech where he calls out the dangers and delusions behind it all.
