  @eigen@mattstodon.panar.ooo @davidgerard@circumstances.run What happens if OpenAI goes under? Doesn't MS get the models? I think MS has the money to keep this going for a long time.

  @davidgerard@circumstances.run The "undercover" mode is interesting. If Anthropic doesn't want people to know they themselves are using Claude to contribute to repos, why should the rest of us use it?

  @davidgerard@circumstances.run Model collapse: It's not disaster; it's progress.

  @Taco_lad @Em0nM4stodon I think things for OpenAI and Anthropic will end one of two ways: They collapse under all their debt, or they raise their prices through the roof. Either way, anyone who has made themselves or their processes dependent upon them will be in a serious bind.

  I am seeing a lot of signs at gas stations for $3.99/gallon. It is pretty rare for this many stations to have the same price. I think a lot of stations are letting higher costs eat into their profits hoping something will resolve the Iran crisis, and none of them want to be the first one to have a sign starting with "4". #GasPrices #UnderTrumpGasPricesStink

  @jaykuo@universeodon.com Her call for hearings might not be about accountability or transparency. Congress is controlled by GOP, and they will do anything for DJT. Hearings now would do nothing.

  @ppb1701@ppb.social I am reading "Do Not Blow Your Cover". I have a question about something: "Every file Claude Code looks at gets saved locally as plaintext JSONL and uploaded to Anthropic. " Just do I understand: Claude is sending a lot of a user's files to the mothership, presumably without telling them. Am I correct about that?

  @davidgerard@circumstances.run I went to the Microsoft website to see if I could send them a message with the word #MicroSlop in it a few times. It turns out you need a MS account just to contact them. I don't know what you are supposed to do if you have issues with your account.

  @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange In addition to all of that: It really doesn't work. As a society we are spending more and more money for software that is less predictable and reliable. A lot of people are okay with destroying the planet for something that doesn't work reliably and most people do not want. Anyone with at least two working brain cells should have become anti-LLM and anti-chatbot the instant they understood the concept of hallucinations. #NoAi

  @ahoyboyhoy@floss.social @davidgerard@circumstances.run I think people are referring to this: https://pluralistic.net/2026/02/19/now-we-are-six/#stock-buyback Somewhere in the middle he says that he uses LLMs for spell checking. Then he goes on to blame the victim.

  @realn2s@infosec.exchange @coolcalmcollected@mastodon.social @davidgerard@circumstances.run My former employer would have us do phishing training every year; and they are pushing AI hard as well. In the phishing training they say that a sign of a scam is trying to create a false sense of urgency. Then when they talk about AI, they say you might get "left behind."

  @parsingphase@m.phase.org I think there is a typo: "Anyone who thinks they will solve cold fusion or climate change is fundamentally understanding every aspect of the technology." Shouldn't that be "...is fundamentally misunderstanding every aspect of the technology"? Other than that, great essay so far.

  @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io Given that disagreements about money is a leading cause of divorce, I cannot understand why anyone would want to give an AI agent control of their money.

  @eloquence@social.coop @timbray@cosocial.ca To be fair, there has always been speculation in stocks. Now we have high-frequency traders. But there are still lots of people who buy stocks based on underlying financials, indexers, and people who buy stocks that consistently pay and grow their dividends. The crypto crowd only looks at the bad parts of the stock market and thinks that is all there is to it.
