Gemini is underrated in that it produces the only prose that is somewhat bearable to read.

This is so shameless. The Economist ==> influences "elite" readers who will dangle the Nobel carrot in front of Trump ==> influence Trump (who does not read The Economist).

Bun rewrite and FLT formalization had nearly identical resource usage

Zsfe510asG — Mon, 07 Sep 2026 17:07:45 +0000

The Bun rewrite took 11 days and used 5.9B tokens:

The FLT formalization took 11 days (!) and used 6B tokens.

Why the similar numbers? Why are the numbers so low? 6B is just enough for 6 agents at 1000 tokens/s running for 11 days.

It would matter if we had politicians who acted before bubbles collapse instead of bailing out the perpetrators after the fact.

Zitron predicted the downfall of Oracle as someone mentioned below. He also predicted that the overhyped data center construction plans (Project Stargate, repeated vague Nvidia pledges) would not materialize.

If he got MSFT's cloud revenue growth wrong for this year, how much of that is selling shovels to OpenAI and how much is circular?

stillpointlab.com: "Get more from your LLM"

I'm sure that an admittedly great mathematician who is sponsored by the "AI for Math" fund and math.inc (which literally wants to corporatize mathematics!) is very appealing to LLM startups.

SV is also in denial that AI is the final straw that makes people leave the Internet.

It is more concrete now. For example the footage that was released about the Kirk shooter showed that you are filmed everywhere, including in residential areas.

People are beginning to understand.

So did they distill Mythos in the "Macrohard" data centers? Can Grok hack now and get a free AISI commercial?

New comment by Zsfe510asG in "Anthropic AI created fake profiles and impersonated people in attempted hack"

Zsfe510asG — Wed, 05 Aug 2026 14:13:44 +0000

AISI is one of the biggest promoters of OpenAI/Anthropic. The UK government of course submits to the US and favors these corporations as well as Palantir.

It is also a perfect demonstration why AI is so popular: Anyone can write about it, it is easy and not mentally demanding to create scenarios, tests and whitepapers.

So it is popular among bureaucrats and managers for their job security.

There are humans who make very few mistakes. The presence of Claude in a project however tells you something about the attitude of the project:

- Probably too close to corporations.

- Does not care about slop.

We have seen many projects that adopted AI under corporate pressure circle the drain. Often the corporations themselves backpedaled after some months.

The wisdom was that the US dollar due to its exorbitant privilege (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exorbitant_privilege#Origin) can afford these debts.

Countries put up with it because the US "provided protection" and insured maritime freedom of navigation. Oh wait ...

As long as Nvidia pays you to buy Nvidia, which the stock market increasingly does not like.

RAM manufacturers are falling, and today after the MSFT numbers are out we'll see additional CapEx worries.

Yes, we'll have free health care, boomers will rent their apartments for $100, everyone will have UBI and a Tesla with a warp drive that travels to the terraformed Mars.

Hayek and Friedman predicted it!

Zsfe510asG — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 16:56:10 +0000

Finally mainstream news understands. The unfiltered version:

1) The AI failed to solve ExploitGym problems.

2) The OpenAI sandbox is such a horrible hack that the AI managed to escape using standard and well documented script kiddie methods.

3) Huggingface has no security and the AI broke in using standard script kiddie methods.

OpenAI and Huggingface covered it up and used it for public relations. That is, if not all was invented and everything was scripted in the first place in order to get desired regulations.

Huggingface reported it to the police, you say? I'm sure the police will have as much enthusiasm to investigate anything as in the Suchir Balaji case. In other words, zero.

I see. We should not divide into camps so the Austrians can sell their AI startups.

The only people dividing and ruining open source are those paid for it by AI companies. Sometimes indirectly, like NumPy through its various sponsors. Then suddenly a bureaucrat appears on a mailing list or elsewhere and announces that AI contributions need to be allowed.

The article smells of AI psychosis. They are already "orchestrating".

In the first Iraq war, they went in and won. In the second one, it took years to sort of occupy the country.

Now they struggle against Iran and "orchestrate" F-16s that can be shot down instantly by AA weapons. Since COVID the world has collectively lost its mind.

Is Airbus still using Google workspaces for mail? Nice vector for industrial espionage.

Why did Airbus go to "the cloud" in the first place? It seems complete overkill for a company like that.
