What does AI hosting even mean

You should probably check in on the discourse in bencollins post sharing this. Everyone has gone insane.

The topic of this thread is ultimately the utility and viability of AI products, and why Zitron is either right or wrong about them. The people who make the current crop of products figure into this, especially since they are a bunch of weird and dangerous freaks.

Did you listen to the Jon Stewart podcast?
October 30, 2026 at 9:25 PM
also, BE SPECIFIC about why Zitron is wrong and why it is a problem. That is super vague

Same. I hate that he had to die while things are so awful and hateful in the world, but he had an amazing life, and saved lives just by being himself. I was at work and it just kind of hit me. So thank you Patrick Stewart for making me cry, I needed that.

Upcoming Anthropic IPO serves as a structural test of public market tolerance for AI capital expenditures. By targeting a $2 trillion valuation despite an $80.7 billion net loss, the $562 million fee pool incentivizes banks to push aggressive pricing structures.
Here's the cash windfall the Anthropic IPO may bring to banks like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley
The big banks are poised to clean up from the Anthropic IPO.

"hyperscaled". I don't fucking know.

I mean it's more of a discussion re the weekly show thing. I understand the use cases of hyperscaled LLMs and machine learning, but defending "AI" or the profitability of the companies behind this, no. Just no.

Some of the people going after Ed certainly seem to be defending the products of these fascists, like with vitreol. In the interview he admits to getting some things wrong that AI boosters are torching him for here, I honestly don't get the obsessive hatred. I don't hear anything about the ceos

I honestly do not think the sides are in agreement here

And why the fuck is she being interviewed?
October 30, 2026 at 9:11 PM
She is also a horrible charisma less candidate for office. Why are they talking to her?!?
October 30, 2026 at 9:11 PM
How did she get elevated to run for the fucking Senate?

This is ridiculous dedication. Somebody turned the iPhone Duo into the iPhone Wheel from the 20-year-old Onion News Network video. Like literally a 1:1 faithful adaptation of an ONN bit from ok two decades ago.
I turned the iPhone Duo into the worst MacBook

Every single numskull ex-reporter who has been paid off by the AI industry seems to have their knives out for Ed Zitron on Twitter today because he went on The Daily Show's podcast. I don't think it's coordinated, I just think they're all uniformly embarrassed by the same bad hill they're dying on.

I keep hearing people say this without any fucking specifics.

Dude we have fucking covered this. This is not the dot com bubble.

ICE and Border Patrol protect Flávio Bolsonaro, using umbrellas to shield him from being photographed.

Trump’s government beats and shoots ordinary working-class people but gives special protection to international criminals tied to money laundering and human trafficking.
