The day before this news came out, Ed Zitron posted a detailed list of signs of an AI bubble collapse — “Discord within OpenAI or Anthropic” is on his list of “pale horses.” If we start hearing about “dust-ups” at OpenAI, “you know bigger things are afoot.” [Where’s Your Ed At]

As a quick aside, Zitron's also cooking up an article on the fallout of Google's antitrust case as we speak.

These things are scraping absolutely fucking anything that might get them closer to Superintelligence^tm^, I fully believe the comments are getting scraped as well.

(it is a fucking hilarious tweet tho)

Anything that takes the edge off a possible Great Recession sequel's fine in my book

Anyways, first actual post of the week (albeit not the first sneer):

It'd be the sole silver lining of this entire two-year bubble.

Zitron's sample size may be limited to his Twitter following, but its a bad sign for AI if bashing it gets you praise from both sides of the political aisle:

Bonus Tweet from Chris Alvino:

I was just thinking about this today. I had a thread go viral where I bashed AI, resulted in thousands of new followers, and I've had to block a bunch bc they turned out to be on the far right. Honestly amazing how bipartisan AI hate is. Never seen anything like it before 😂

Google Pulls “Dear Sydney” Olympics Ad After Backlash To Its Portrait Of A Young Girl Using AI

The ad itself is just fucked - its like something you'd find in a shitty cyberpunk novel.

c'mon bubble

babe wake up Gamers Nexus is absolutely cooking Intel rn

@ai_shame RT'd a good sneer in the wild recently:

Bonus: Eliezer, of all people, also sneered at the TESCREAL twat:

At its low point, some computer scientists and software engineers avoided the term artificial intelligence for fear of being viewed as wild-eyed dreamers. (New York Times, 2005, at the end of the last AI winter.)

I expect history to repeat itself quite soon - where previously using the term "artificial intelligence" got you looked at as a wild-eyed dreamer, now, using that term's likely getting you looked at as an asshole techbro, and your research deemed a willing attempt to hurt others.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
