Xbox is now XBOX
Xbox just allcapsmaxxed: meet XBOX. This isn't a joke, Microsoft appears to be actually rebranding Xbox to XBOX. Asha Sharma, Xbox CEO, ran a poll on X earlier this week, asking fans whether Microsoft should use Xbox or…

OpenAI has committed to spending $600 billion over the next five years across vendors. Their data center contract with Oracle is $60 billion per year starting in 2027. This alone is more than 6x greater than their entire revenue stream in 2025.

Why people working on software where something serious is at stake would throw out known gradient to use a code generator + testing is beyond my capacity to understand.

Watching techies learn that their favorite artist isn't in love with LLMs will never be boring to me, online or offline. The best part? The techs act all shocked their favorite artist would hate something that plagiarizes from them by the minute. Of course, the rebuke always is, well, artists don't understand how tech works anyway so they shouldn't be listened to. But still, the initial reaction is priceless, every time. I was at a dinner and the general feeling was just utter shock that the tech Enthusiasts artists, some fantasy author, would be against his loved generator. When I tried to explain why, he instantly assumed I didn't know how tech worked because I don't breathe in Rust or I don't Exhale in JavaScript. #LLM #AI
Y’all, we need to talk about upcoming #IPOs, and the insane rule changes that #nasdaq has just announced.
Nasdaq rewrote its #index inclusion rules to accommodate #SpaceX’s mega-IPO, implementing a "Fast Entry" provision that allows the company to join the Nasdaq-100 index just 15 trading days after its initial public offering, down from the standard three-month seasoning period.
They also eliminated the minimum float requirement of 20% available public shares and instead stocks with less than 20% of shares publicly traded, Nasdaq applies a 3x multiplier to the free-float for index weighting purposes, artificially inflating low-float giants like SpaceX in passive funds.
Ok, but in English? #SpaceX, #OpenAI and #Anthropic have just figured out a scam to force every passive #IRA, #401k, and index fund to buy their stock before pricing evaluation.
They’ve figured out how to steal your #retirement.

Since 'intelligence' in AI is a graph search, what is the breakthrough AI vendors are riding on?
Its transformers. Just transformers.
The mechanism to translate representations such as natural language, code or genetic sequences to and from something a machine can apply to graph search (in the abstract) using artificial neural networks.
Everything else is old stuff with a new marketing term. Because you won't get crazy VC money if you simply apply old discoveries.
Since 'intelligence' in AI is a graph search, why do they seem to think like humans?

Heres what my university degree in algorithmics taught me about AI.
All AI algorithms can be reduced down to graph search. A graph search algorithm is defined by functions 'test', 'expand' and 'combine'.

https://cultureunbound.ep.liu.se/article/view/5601 #copyright #AI #GLAM #openaccess #OA #uslaw #uspol Part of a special collection on Digital Cultural Heritage, Authenticity, and AI edited by Marc Stuhldreier, Martin Fredriksson, Rosa Ballardini, Bodil Axelsson, and Kristina Kovaitėis https://cultureunbound.ep.liu.se/issue/view/523
Speaking to the crowd, the top concerns were the social and cultural effects of AI (misinformation, disconnection, undermining the arts), then environmental concerns (Vancouver is already under water restrictions due to drought; fossil fuel buildup for AI; etc), then prioritization (why is money and space going to this instead of housing, healthcare, etc). A few other topics came up less often, like economic effects.
The group shut down traffic on two of Vancouver's biggest streets, Granville and Broadway, including the Granville Street Bridge. They also passed through Granville Island, one of the most-visited tourist destinations in Canada.

We resist #AI where ever we can, no AI features, no AI agents allowed, no AI feeds. Even our translation is using non-AI
Unfortunately we are now also paying the price for the AI hype.. Our monthly server costs has increased by almost €200 because of this

NEW by me:
One threat actor demanded $50 million from Novo Nordisk. Another one demanded $25 million. Neither got paid.
Two different groups tried to extort Novo Nordisk at around the same time. Novo Nordisk strung them both along, and then went dark.
Data leaks followed.

I read a blog post the other day where the blog post author can't see human writing anymore, and I mean that literally. To them, even public domain books have LLM tells in them. this, I think, is far worse than someone using an LLM. They want us paranoid. They want us to stop believing humans create anything. I've seen it offline too. A Trans woman friend of mine writes these lush Fantasy stories about dragons. If she writes something amazing, she's the best prompt engineer ever, and people ask her what LLM she's using and ask how did she get it to do those amazing things. If she writes something terrible, this is AI slop.
This all boils down to people don't understand the technology—again.
If you hate LLM writing, remember who did it first. Humans. LLM writes the way humans write. Not the other way around. If a human sounds like an LLM, that's because the LLM is plagiarizing their style and their writing style.
Humans will always write like LLMs because humans did it first. I don't know what else to say other than your paranoia is helping them.
Da Pope has dropped an #encyclical. An encyclical is a pastoral letter issued by the #Pope.
Historically encyclicals serve as a key instrument of the Pope’s ordinary magisterium to guide the faithful on matters of faith, morals, devotion, or social discipline, they are generally not infallible pronouncements ex cathedra.
I’m still reading and digesting, but a quick skim suggests that this is the biggest thing to drop from the #Vatican in my lifetime.
There’s, #AI, there’s transhumanism, there’s social contract, he apologizes for the Church’s blind eye to #slavery, he declared that “just war” is no longer a thing…in a change of policy held since the Crusades. He calls for #OpenSource, he quotes #Tolkien. (I like Da Pope.)
There’s a lot. You can read it here. It’s gonna take me a while to map it all out.
