Stop citing that MIT "95% of Ai pilots fail" study - the headline appeals to my prejudices too, but
1. its data is the authors' 18/19yo mates
2. all the $ appear to be "ARR"
3. I don't trust a single number
4. THE PURPOSE IS TO PROMOTE THE AUTHORS' Web3 GRIFT! JESUS!https://pivot-to-ai.com/2025/08/21/mit-on-enterprise-ai-95-failure-5-spam/

OpenAI finally saying the quiet part out loud. LLMs are as reliable as they're gonna get.
"experts have found that the problem is getting worse as AI models get more capable."
How can models be getting "more capable" *and* less reliable? More capable of bullshitting?

Moreover, pretty much every time they say 'this larger model hallucinates less' that's turned out to be unfounded optimism as less biased research came out.

An observation I made in my book, even in the first edition two years ago, was that research gave us reason to believe that hallucinations got worse with increasing model size
So, y'know... I literally told you so

I think this is the most relaxed "interview" I've ever seen David Byrne give. It's fun to hear his takes on some of the music:

(I admit I haven't seen every interview ever with him, but the interviews when he was younger gave off "I am uncomfortable" vibes. Kinda how I assume I would've been at those ages, actually.)

looks like there is one person posting #indivisible links, buried in sites controlled by USA fascist techbros because the USA corporate media controlled by fascist mediabros isn’t covering the protests.
YET!
isn’t it funny when there’s a deluge of #indivisible protests posts on Mastodon, those protests do get covered by INTERNATIONAL big media?
@indivisibleteam need to be 2 things:
- the seed for growing protests nationwide
- the firehose of news & media coverage they aren't getting

Trump himself promised hands off Social Security, so he either 1) tells SS commisioner Frank Bisignano to STFU or 2) is asked from now until the day he dies why he lied to millions of Americans.
Your choice, Donald.
