The robot apocalypse hasn't happened yet, but still I can't escape the feeling that something has gone horribly wrong... Cartoon for Dutch newspaper Trouw.

Cartoon showing a street in the rain. A man on a bike is delivering food, while another courier is delivering packages from Amazon. Two other workers are collecting garbage. Inside one of the houses on the street, we see robots labeled 'AI' sitting dry and warm, engaged in making a paining, playing the violin and writing.

Some genius made his AI remind him to get milk in the morning and it used up his $20 account balance overnight because it kept checking if it was morning every 30 minutes. Lmao. “AI”

Benjamin De Kraker @BenjaminDEKR OpenClaw is interesting, but will also drain your wallet if you aren't careful. Last night around midnight I loaded my Anthropic API account with $20, then went to bed. When I woke up, my Anthropic balance was $O. Opus was checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night." Doing literally nothing, OpenClaw spent the entire balance. How?
The "Heartbeat" cron job, even though literally the only thing I had going was one silly reminder, ("remind me tomorrow to get milk") 1. Sent ~120,000 tokens of context to Opus 4.5 2. Opus read HEARTBEAT md, thought about reminders 3. Replied "HEARTBEAT_OK" 4. Cost: ~$0.75 per heartbeat (cache writes) The damage: - Overnight = ~25+ heartbeats - 25 × $0.75 = ~$18.75 just from heartbeats alone - Plus regular conversation = ~$20 total The absurdity: Opus was essentially checking "is it daytime yet?" every 30 minutes, paying $0.75 each time to conclude "no, it's still night."

"The collapse of the #AI bubble is going to be ugly. Seven AI companies currently account for more than a third of the #StockMarket, and they endlessly pass around the same $100bn IOU.

AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a #finance sector and #tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more."

Text from article: When the AI-investment mania halts, most of those models are going to disappear, because it just won’t be economical to keep the datacenters running. As Stein’s law has it: “Anything that can’t go on forever eventually stops.” The collapse of the AI bubble is going to be ugly. Seven AI companies currently account for more than a third of the stock market, and they endlessly pass around the same $100bn IOU. AI is the asbestos in the walls of our technological society, stuffed there with wild abandon by a finance sector and tech monopolists run amok. We will be excavating it for a generation or more. To pop the bubble, we have to hammer on the forces that created the bubble: the myth that AI can do your job, especially if you get high wages that your boss can claw back; the understanding that growth companies need a succession of ever more outlandish bubbles to stay alive; the fact that workers and the public they serve are on one side of this fight, and bosses and their investors are on the other side. Because the AI bubble really is very bad news, it’s worth fighting seriously, and a serious fight against AI strikes at its roots: the material factors fueling the hundreds of billions in wasted capital that are being spent to put us all on the breadline and fill all our walls with hi-tech asbestos.

AI companies will fail. We can salvage something from the wreckage

"“There is no alternative” is a cheap rhetorical sleight. It’s a demand dressed up as an observation. “There is no alternative” means: “Stop trying to think of an alternative.”

I’m a science-fiction writer – my job is to think of a dozen alternatives before breakfast."

(Un)perplexed Spready can combine taxonomy range lookup with AI reasoning and web research. Web search inside the workflow can be a game-changer for sparse data. When internal categorization is missing, the model can research the product details on internet and still land on a valid category—when you allow it. linkedin.com/posts/matasoft-st…

Is AI Replacing God?

For many people, the idea that AI could ever take the place of #God might sound ridiculous: how could a machine that is obviously built by humans ever be mistaken as divine?

But when even the engineers behind AI begin to claim that it is sentient, and AI-induced spiritual delusions end otherwise-healthy marriages, then perhaps it is time to take this question seriously.

Because although there may never be cathedrals erected in honor of #ChatGPT, there will certainly be an increasing number of people who treat it with the reverence due a god.

Text Shot: Oracles, bureaucracies, and experts all function along similar lines: they have access to information (the accrual of which is beyond our comprehension) that allows them to predict an outcome, and we defer to their advice. AI doesn’t function any differently, but it does add speed and scale. Now, you no longer have to consult a different authority figure for each of your different concerns: you can simply ask ChatGPT for anything from dinner recipes to medical advice, and the information you seek is provided to you instantly.
