Browsing this company's website and the only way I can describe what I'm seeing is imagine a school shooter was a management consultant

palantir should be viewed as the enemy of modern society

Unbelievable stuff from the Washington Post on behalf of Jeff Bezos today.

I agree with this so hard it’s hard to overstate how much I agree with this. And it sucks because the thing we’ve all been trained to call “AI” is kind of novel and interesting and may have useful applications. But the bullshit doomer/accelerator rhetoric had overpowered the reality.

it'll be back in three days

They’ll be more culturally relevant than your indie game fam, you shouldn’t just sit down, you should kick rocks.

How do you think they get people to want to hire onto the studio? Mind you E3 was a TRADE show first and foremost.

Going to be so funny watching people try and act like this never happened one day

The company is pinning a resurgence on games it’s been developing with Walt Disney Co., which agreed to invest $1.5 billion in Epic two years ago. Epic is on track to launch the first game in its new Disney partnership in November, according to four current and former employees. It will be a shooting game along the lines of Embark Studios’ hit Arc Raiders, but with Disney characters battling enemies until they can reach an extraction point, according to the people. So far, internal reviewers have expressed concerns that the game mechanics are not very original, but some of the employees are optimistic that Epic will get it right by the launch date.

OpenAI Is A Confidence Game Empowered By The Media and Investors That Is Rigged To Explode I tend to be pretty light-hearted in what I write, but please take me seriously when I say I have genuine concerns about the dangers posed by OpenAI. I believe that OpenAI is an incredibly risky entity, not due to the power of its models or its underlying assets, but due to Sam Altman’s ability to con people and find others that will con in his stead. Those responsible for rooting out con artists - regulators, investors and the media - have not simply failed, but actively assisted Altman in this con. Here’re the crucial elements of the con: Creating a halo of uncertainty around the actual efficacies of LLMs, to the point that a cult of personality grew around a technology that obfuscated its actual outcomes and efficacies to the point that it could be sold based on what it might do rather than what it actually does. Creating a halo of “genius” around Altman himself, aided by constant and vague threats of human destruction with the suggestion that only Altman could solve them. Normalizing the idea that it’s both necessary and important to let a company burn billions of dollars. Normalizing the idea that it’s okay that a company has perpetual losses, and perpetuating the idea that these losses are necessary for innovation to continue at large. Sam Altman is a dull, mediocre man that loves money and power. He appears to be superficially charming, but his actual skill is ingratiating himself with others and having them owe him favors, or feel somehow indebted to him otherwise. He remembers people’s names and where he met them, and is very good at emailing people, writing checks, or finding reasons for somebody else to write a check. He is not technical - he can barely code and misunderstands basic machine learning (to quote Futurism) - but is very good at making the noises that people want to hear, be they big scary statements that confirm their biases or massive promises of un…

The Takeaway → OpenAl is committing billions of dollars years in advance to help finance data centers. → Friar last year began reporting to the head of applications instead of to Altman. → Altman has excluded her from some conversations related to financial plans. I Powered by Deep Research

Those people said Altman has excluded her from some conversations related to the company's financial plans. For instance, in recent months he left Friar out of a conversation about server spending with leaders at one of OpenAl's top investors, one of these people said. Her absence was noticeable and awkward, given that a previous conversation on the same topic included her, according to an attendee. A different person who attended a senior-level meeting at OpenAI with Altman earlier this year said it was unusual that Friar was not invited, as it involved a discussion of major financial decisions.

She told some colleagues earlier this year that she didn't believe the company would be ready to go public in 2026, because of the procedural and organizational work needed and the risks from its spending commitments, according to a person who spoke to her. She said she wasn't sure yet whether OpenAI would need to pour so much money into obtaining AI servers in the coming years or whether its revenue growth, which has been slowing, would support the commitments, said the person who spoke to her.

Incredible things happening at OpenAI per @theinformation.com. Sam Altman is rushing the company toward IPO despite his CFO’s concerns about compute spend and revenue growth. Now Sam Altman is leaving her out of financial planning for compute. Perfect!

video games have been around since my grandparents were little and weirdo freaks now try to act like it’s impossible to make one without using the Polluting Thief Chatbot that didn’t exist before like five years ago and I will never understand that

Jon Hartley ® @Jon_Hartley_ X.com * Another update to our Generative AI US adoption time series results from our paper "The Labor Market Effects of Generative Artificial Intelligence": we find LLM adoption at work in the US fell over the past quarter (while still up substantially from a couple years ago). 100% Fraction of U.S. Labor Force Using Generative AI At Work 90% 80% 70% 60% (%) 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% May-22 Dec-22 -Pew Survey (ChatGPT use) -I-Bick, Blandin, Deming Gen Al Survey -Hartley, Jolevski, Melo, Moore Gen Al Survey Public Release of ChatGPT (First Public Large Language Model) Jun-23 Jan-24 Jul-24 Feb-25 Aug-25 Mar-26 Oct-26

I like how every study that tries to prove AI is being adopted at scale is like “jobs that AI might be able to do a small amount of are sort of affected” and every other study on AI use is “adoption is low” and “it doesn’t really work reliably or in a way with measurable outcomes”

It is! It’s also tied to @krisstraub.com’s Candle Cove story (same creator and it’s the channel (I think) that Candle Cove airs on in the story)
