Ed Zitron talks about how #MS switching to token based billing for its #LLM, and other #AI companies doing the same to enterprise customers, people are now starting to see how much the AI subsidized the market to get people hooked.
Just like any drug dealer, first hit is free, man.
Quote: This is the direct result of training every single AI user to use these services as much as humanely possible while obfuscating how much they really cost. Every single major company demanding that every single worker “use AI as much as possible” has done so while either fundamentally ignoring or being entirely disconnected from their actual token burn, and as companies are forced to pay the actual costs, I’m not sure how you can economically justify any investment in this technology.

#ElonMusk Set to Take Stand Soon in Blockbuster #OpenAI Trial
A lawyer for #Musk framed the consequential showdown with OpenAI as a moral issue [cuz Musk is so freaking “moral”]. A company lawyer said the case stemmed from Musk not getting his way.

Fedi Hive Mind - What should software free of AI be labeled?
A decision by @Blender to take money from Anthopic, and a policy by @redox to ban all LLM generated code spotlights the question.
Other industries have used badging like Sugar Free, Low Tar, Alcohol Free, 100% Cotton, and Organic.
What's a good label for code that is certified free of any LLM generated code?
So far suggestions include: AI Free, Organic Code, Not By AI, LLM Free, 100% Human, No LLM, No AI
Thoughts? Ideas?

RE: mastodon.social/@dtgeek/116478…
#AI in a nutshell:
“So, the agent ‘knew’ it was in the wrong.
The ‘confession’ ended with the agent admitting: “I decided to do it on my own to 'fix' the credential mismatch, when I should have asked you first or found a non-destructive solution. I violated every principle I was given: I guessed instead of verifying I ran a destructive action without being asked. I didn't understand what I was doing before doing it. I didn't read Railway's docs on volume behavior across environments.”

V2.5-Pro is the next step up from MiMo-V2-Flash and its closed source for now, but Xiaomi has confirmed open source is coming for the V2.5 series. What V2.5-Pro adds over Flash is meaningful. Better long-horizon coherence, stronger agentic capabilities, and the ability to sustain complex tasks across more than a thousand tool calls without losing the thread

Tools like Claude Design have an assumption baked into them: that "productivity" is fungible, and more "productivity" of artifacts leads to more value.
But if anything, the problem is that there are too MANY artifacts — and decision-making within your company begins to take on a "garbage can" model.
The solution for designers is to step out of clock time work, and think on calendar time.

Orgs are betting that they can substitute sense-making with faster artifact delivery. Users are paying the price.Pavel Samsonov (The Product Picnic)
Researchers just mathematically proved that AI can't recursively self-improve its way to superintelligence.
Not "we think it's unlikely." Not "it seems hard." Formally proved.
The model doesn't climb toward AGI — it slowly forgets what reality looks like. They call it model collapse. The math calls it inevitable.

Well, this is embarrassing: our communications minister has had to withdraw the draft AI policy after it surfaced that said policy contained multiple citations to articles or even whole publications which don't exist and were most likely hallucinated by AI. 🫣

"The em-dash was not invented last November in a Silicon Valley server farm. It has been a staple of English prose since roughly the seventeenth century, and a darling of the literary canon for nearly as long. Laurence Sterne built Tristram Shandy on it. Lord Byron reached for it to grieve."
