💥 The upcoming AI collapse

｢ is one of the most dramatic and aggressive price increases in the history of software, with effectively no historical comparison. No infrastructure provider in the history of Silicon Valley has so distinctly and aggressively upped its prices on customers, let alone their largest and most prominent ones, and doing so is an act of desperation that suggests fundamental weaknesses in their business models ｣

"where almost the entire tech industry has bought in on a technology sold at a vastly-discounted rate, heavily-centralized and subsidized by big tech. What happens when the entire tech industry relies on the success of a kind of software that only loses money, and doesn’t create much value to begin with?"

｢ OpenAI has been increasingly limiting the number of employees with access to sensitive information and spaces where such information is allowed to be discussed, such as new product developments or algorithms. The company's computers are likewise cut off from the wider internet, with a "deny-by-default" system requiring approval for external connections ｣

Be great to have schedule sending back again but I did notice the audio transcription which sends the audio to #openai for transcription. 🫣

Not keen on this option for privacy reasons and I bet Open AI are using it for training voice data too? Will need to check the changes to the EULA - https://www.beeper.com/privacy.

SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son and OpenAI chief Sam Altman see insatiable demand for AI that makes it imperative to keep building ever more computing capacity. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/07/16/companies/masayoshi-son-sam-altman-ai/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #softbank #openai #ai #tech

｢ An unusual part of OpenAI is that everything, and I mean everything, runs on Slack. There is no email. I maybe received ~10 emails in my entire time there. If you aren't organized, you will find this incredibly distracting. If you curate your channels and notifications, you can make it pretty workable ｣

I'm often genuinely scared because I constantly hear people willingly sharing all their details with OpenAI and Meta. I just saw a long post where someone was thankful to ChatGPT for being their therapist. Why do so many think their private details are safe and even worse - that they can somehow control AI and algorithms, believing they're here to serve us and not the other way around? We're in deep trouble.

One example widely shared on social media — & which Willison duplicated — asked #Grok to comment on the conflict in the #MiddleEast. The prompted question made no mention of #Musk, but the #chatbot looked for his guidance anyway.

As a so-called reasoning model, much like those made by rivals #OpenAI or #Anthropic, #Grok4 shows its “thinking” as it goes through the steps of processing a question & coming up with an answer.

…the empires of AI won’t give up their power easily. The rest of us will need to wrest back control of this technology’s future. …we can all resist the narratives that OpenAI and the AI industry have told us to hide the mounting social and environmental costs of this technology behind an elusive vision of progress.
