Matt Scherer of the Open Markets Institute argues the SEC should block Anthropic’s IPO until the company provides “two consecutive quarters of audited financial statements,” with all material information about its spending commitments disclosed.
The SEC Should Block Anthropic’s IPO to Protect the Public
If Anthropic goes public, workers, retail investors, and retirees will be left holding the bag when its bills come due, writes Matt Scherer.

That’s exactly the point. Company founders and employees with stock options will become absurdly rich overnight with shareholders left to pick up the eye-watering tab. #Anthropic #OpenAI #AIHype

I will defend journalists to the death against evil politicos, but... this is pretty bad, NYT.

"Space" in this sense is just a way of organizing relatedness. You can think of the parameters of my ass in terms of 20-dimensionality (size, curvature, etc.), but my ass isn't smarter than people.

This is precisely Anthropic’s approach to consciousness. It is seeding the public domain with misinformation that will be used to train future models in the hope that this will make them behave as if they are conscious. We are truly through the looking glass… #GenAI #AIHype #Anthropic #Micro$lop

Major US tech companies either show trillions in future investment commitments or "creatively" account for the real costs.

This week’s US Tech corps’ earnings calls will tell. Either way, the impact will be notable.

Early impression good support. A good company that cares abt its workers. Some basic functionality is missing but not deal-breakers for me. Hopeful they'll correct those items soon and keep improving.

The AI BUBBLE Exposed: Are We Heading Toward a MASSIVE CRASH?
Is the AI revolution just a high-tech mirage? 📉 Buckle up, because we are pulling back the curtain on the Artificial Intelligence bubble. While the tech giants promise us a utopia, industry skeptics like Ed Zitron are sounding the alarm: we might be heading toward a massive market crash. Are we witnessing the next dot-com bust, or is this the future of innovation? In this episode, we expose the uncomfortable truths behind the AI industry hype cycle, including: - The Capital Burn: Why foundational AI models are hemorrhaging cash. - Run Rate Manipulation: How firms inflate financial health to keep venture capital flowing. - The Dependency Trap: The dangerous reliance on unprofitable startups for revenue. From exaggerated marketing claims to the potential for a global economic correction, this deep dive explains why the AI economic bubble is more fragile than Wall Street wants you to believe. If you think the current AI boom is invincible, think again. 🔥 Listen now to understand the real financial risks of the AI era. Don't forget to subscribe and share your thoughts in the comments—are we in a bubble or a breakthrough?

“About a third” is a feeling. “37.42%” is a feeling with a microphone.

“The #AI didn't analyze a problem, understand its deep core, and elegantly solve it. It acted like a highly automated factory, throwing thousands of computational hours at a massive list of problems until the machine stumbled upon the correct combination to trigger a successful compilation.” #AIHype

Cybersecurity Exposed: AI Hype, Fake Threats, and the Truth About Digital Privacy
Is your digital life built on a foundation of lies? 🛑 We’ve all seen the fear-mongering headlines: "Don’t use airport chargers!" or "Your VPN is the only thing keeping you safe!" But what if the experts told you that 90% of what you hear about cybersecurity and online privacy is just industry-manufactured noise? In this episode, we slice through the corporate fluff and dissect the recent David Bombal and Marcus interview. We aren't just summarizing a conversation; we're launching a full-scale cyber-skepticism audit. From the limitations of AI in malware analysis to the harsh economic reality of building a tech personal brand in a world of automated spam, this is the reality check the industry is terrified to have. What you'll uncover in this deep-dive: - The VPN Myth: Are they privacy tools or just marketing scams for regional unlocks? - AI Guardrails: Why defenders are shackled while hackers are winning the war. - The Airport Charging Panic: Why "juice jacking" is largely an exaggerated security theatre. - Tech Influencer Reality: Why authentic skill is dying in favor of empty social media metrics. This isn't your average tech podcast. This is a no-holds-barred look at the truth about cybersecurity and why practical, hands-on expertise is the only thing that actually matters in 2024. 🎧 Listen now to stop falling for the tech industry's favorite tall tales. Don't forget to hit follow and share this with your favorite 'tech expert' to see if they can handle the truth!

Taking notes helps you to organise your thoughts, which has been shown to air comprehension and later recall *even if you don’t actually look at the notes afterwards*. Using an #AI device to do this for you provides none of those benefits. 🤷 #AIHype #Deskilling #CognitiveScience

AI Just Made Science Obsolete: The Truth Behind ASI & The Eureka Machine
What if science could solve cancer, reverse aging, and decode the universe overnight? 🧬✨ In this mind-bending episode, we break down Peter Diamandis’ explosive interview with Richard Socher (founder of You.com and author of The Eureka Machine). We're diving deep into the next massive tech leap: Full Stack AI for Science—the moment biology, physics, and chemistry stop being slow discovery sciences and become rapid, programmable engineering fields. Are we on the verge of Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI), or is Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) hitting a hard biological wall? While Silicon Valley doom-mongers scream about apocalypse and regulators try to pump the brakes, the historical data tells a completely different story. 🚀 Here is what we unpack in this episode: - 🔬 The Eureka Machine Unleashed: How AI generates, tests, and validates hypotheses without human bottlenecks. - ⏳ The Real ASI Timeline: Why coding and math are moving at lightspeed, but true superintelligence will take decades. - 🔥 Debunking AI Doomerism: Why fears of technological extinction ignore centuries of human adaptation. - 💡 Programmable Reality: How turning natural sciences into engineering rewrites medicine, energy, and material physics. Whether you're an AI accelerationist, an eager tech entrepreneur, or just curious if robots will solve your health problems before taking your job, this breakdown brings the truth without the hype. 🧠💥 👉 Enjoyed the breakdown?

AI Doomsday is a Lie: The CULT of Silicon Valley, Eugenics, Utopian Myths & the Tech Elite
Are we being distracted by a digital smoke and mirrors show? 🤖🔥 Behind the wall of 'rogue AI' hysteria lies a far more grounded—and dangerous—reality. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of AI ethics with the fearless Dr. Timnit Gebru. We peel back the curtain on how Silicon Valley tech giants are weaponizing existential doomsday narratives to hide labor exploitation, military misuse, and environmental decay. Why this matters right now: - The Great Distraction: How 'super-intelligent machines' serve as a smokescreen for immediate corporate harm. - The Cult of Tech: Uncovering the eugenics-based philosophies fueling the current digital arms race. - Humanity First: Why we need to reject corporate-driven techno-utopianism in favor of grassroots technology. If you're tired of billionaire tech-leaders playing god while ignoring the planet, this conversation is for you. We aren't just talking about code; we're talking about the future of human emancipation. Don't let the hype cycle win—stay informed and hold the architects of our future accountable. 🌍✨ Subscribe, share with your tech-skeptic friends, and join the movement for a more democratic digital future!
