VC Bill Gurley said “One day we’re going to have an AI reset, because waves create bubbles. “When people get rich quick, a whole bunch of people come in and want to get rich too, and that’s why we end up with bubbles.” futurism.com/artificial-int…

“It triples the amount of paperwork I have to go through,” said an attorney who represents victims of intimate partner violence. She encounters defendants who are using AI. “It’s really tedious. And then when I go through all those filings, I have to bill my clients for it.”

This is a big reason why AI is failing. Foolish bosses who think they know everyone's jobs and how to do them. To these bosses, how #AI is implemented doesn't deserve any thought. It's just do it, and shut up and stop making excuses. ft.com/content/cd365a…

Game CEO, Strauss Zelnick said there is no gen AI democratization of games. The real issues in games are not creation of games but rather marketing, curation, community building, new IP growth, and discoverability of games. And generative AI has no solutions there.

Companies that now regularly use artificial intelligence are starting to track their workers’ use of tokens. And those companies are spending #10,000 a day for reading a paper and developing code based on it. wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-tok…

@HelloStackAI I will believe it when I see it, as will the academics who wrote this paper. Academics keep concluding collapse presumably because the companies aren't doing whatever they were supposed to do

@jeffreyleefunk Model collapse is real but it's a quality control failure, not a synthetic data failure. The fix is filtering at generation time. Teams that automate the quality gate don't hit it.

This research finds a measurable decline in ability to produce varied text, even when explicitly prompted to do so. There is too much synthetic data incorporated within their training datasets as the result of internet infiltration by LLM generated data. arxiv.org/abs/2603.12683…

NY Times shows dozens of fake AI-generated videos and images that have overrun social networks: huge explosions that never happened, decimated city streets that were never attacked, troops protesting war who do not exist, Israelis cowering as explosions ripped through Tel Aviv.

@heykahn when did people start believing anything the used car salesman told us?

Before you spend $2,000 on an AI course, read this. A lot of people are buying expensive AI courses right now. But honestly, most of them don’t need to. Some of the best AI learning resources in the world are already free. And they’re not built by self-proclaimed AI experts online.They’re created by the companies actually building the models, chips, tools, and infrastructure behind this entire AI wave. If you want to learn AI properly, it makes sense to learn directly from the source. But before that, Check out 100+ such resources shared in this community of 200K+ AI/ML Engineers: codenewsletter.ai/subscribe?utm_… Here's a list of 10 free AI learning platforms from industry leaders: 𝟭 - 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰: lnkd.in/e5fK7QUA 𝟮 - 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲: grow.google/ai 𝟯 - 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗮: lnkd.in/et6wz-ta 𝟰 - 𝗡𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗜𝗔: lnkd.in/e8aHmFxc (GOATed) 𝟱 - 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁: lnkd.in/ej85NeZc 𝟲 - 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜: academy.openai.com 𝟳 - 𝗜𝗕𝗠: skillsbuild.org 𝟴 - 𝗔𝗪𝗦: skillbuilder.aws 𝟵 - 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗔𝗜: deeplearning.ai 𝟭𝟬 - 𝗛𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝗲: lnkd.in/eajVCrvv If you’re serious about learning AI, the biggest difference usually comes from consistency, not another course.

CEOs attributing layoffs to AI have received a bump in their stocks and thus they love to do it. AI companies also love these announcements because they also get a share price bump. This article suggests there is little truth to those announcements.

Altman is questioning the necessity of humans in his AI world. If Rodney Brooks or Hans Moravec had said the same thing, I probably wouldn’t have thought much about it, but Altman is constantly saying things that imply humans are terrible and AI is great.

More hype from Bank of America about humanoid robots. It projects that the global #humanoid robot population will reach 3 billion units, and 62% of them or roughly 2 billion units, will be deployed inside people’s homes. These projections make VCs rich. fortune.com/2026/03/13/ban…

Putting laptop keyboards at the fingertips of U.S. schoolchildren caused math and reading scores to decline. Many say AI will make things worse. 57% of teen students use #AI to search information, and 54% use it for schoolwork. fortune.com/2026/03/14/ame…

So what if training humans takes longer than training AI. We are humans and we have tried to create a world for humans. Implicitly arguing that in some unique way that raising AI is better than raising humans is hate speech against all humans.

@kshaughnessy2 Many of the software companies bought by private credit companies over the last ten years were former unicorns that were highly unprofitable. I documented their losses in innumerable medium articles and my recent book unicorns, hype and bubbles

“Top Apollo Executive Sounds Off on ‘Arrogance’ in Private Markets” “…Zito called out “arrogance” in private markets, predicted a private-credit loan made to a generic small or midsize “Joe Software Company” might recover 20 to 40 cents on the dollar and said Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is needling President Trump with his inflation commentary, according to audio recordings of the comments reviewed by The Wall Street Journal….” wsj.com/finance/invest…

Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp said that AI disrupts humanities-trained, largely female Democratic voters, makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, voters. He's happy futurism.com/artificial-int…

Professors are fighting an uphill battle against intrusion of AI into education, and it’s forcing them to rethink how they instruct their students, many of whom have already become hopelessly dependent on the tech. “What is #AI doing to us as a species?” futurism.com/artificial-int…
