Article about AI and the economy and estimating it’s effect.
AI (driven by ChatGPT/Open) truly took the world by storm in 2022-23.
But I think anyone who actually understands language models, data centers, and finance, should have clearly seen the writing on the wall around 2024.
- Energy companies are using the AI Industry (not AI itself) to justify environmental deregulation
- AI companies themselves are over-promoting and over-selling AI technology to justify more and more capital investment (that is still to this day, not generating returns relative to the cost to power these models)
- Data Center companies are making a killing, but their industry will eventually crater
- Financial institutions merely want the fees that comes with selling securities hedged on AI
The actual problem behind all of this is the Data Center industry, which is what will cause this bubble to eventually burst.
- Anthropic argues the attacks support keeping export controls on AI chips, saying the scale of distillation requires access to those chips and that stolen models likely lack safety protections against misuse.
- Anthropic says three Chinese AI companies — DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax — created over 24,000 fake accounts and ran 16 million exchanges with Claude to copy its strengths through distillation.
- Each company targeted different areas: DeepSeek focused on logic and alignment, Moonshot AI on agentic reasoning and coding, and MiniMax on agentic coding, with MiniMax alone responsible for 13 million exchanges.
I guess we’ll be seeing some naked pictures of the Ayatollah after Friday.
Please don’t post them here. Keep them to yourself. 
Besides making nudies, looks like AI will also change/reduce the research done at universities.
Good video, but her delivery is hard to listen to for me.
Yea, typical German personality? She has a good series.
Good on Anthropic for trying to put brakes on this thing. I saw the article posted above, but I’m surprised more aren’t alarmed by this.
This is literally Terminator s**t, and we should be very, very careful how we roll this out in the military.
I find the issues in this Anthropic case to be interesting, though I haven’t done any sort of deep dive.
I guess cahtgpt will be the new evil corporation to hate on.
ChatGPT has existed for 4 years now, and it’s yet to truly find its way into the commercial market.
The only GPT that’s being used commercially is Copilot, which is not being used enough to justify its continued investment
I’m not even trying to start an argument, I’m merely speaking the honest truth
Obviously that’s your opinion, as long as the board of directors or company owners think it is… They will keep investing.
Well, here is what google gemini has to say about that…
Yes, ChatGPT is widely used in the commercial market
, with 92% of Fortune 500 companies using it as of May 2025. It has become a mainstream tool in business, with over 700 million weekly active users, often adopted from the bottom up by employees rather than through top-down corporate mandates.

I’m in software sales, but my role is a Solution Consultant. So i solution and provide product demonstrations. I use ChatGPT all the time.
When I get questions, I use it to quickly search our SharePoint for documentation, emails for any similar topics, and our customer community for if any other customers are having similar issues. It takes 5 minutes instead of 5 hours to research. I do this all the time. I also use ChatGPT to polish my emails. As you can tell from my posts, I need it. LOL

This just seems odd to me, but I only glanced at the article so far.

I’ll believe the cheap claim when I see it. I assume it’s only cheap compared to other types of poured concrete wall homes - which no one is currently choosing
