Extracting clean, verifiable knowledge directly from your documents. Zero hallucination, 100% verbatim. Best part - it's not AI generated, so it's verifiable and reliable.

🦔Nvidia's VP of applied deep learning told Axios that for his team, the cost of compute is far beyond the cost of employees. An MIT study found AI automation is economically viable in only 23% of roles where vision is a primary part of the work, meaning human labor remains cheaper in the vast majority of cases. Uber's CTO said he's back to the drawing board because his 2026 AI budget is already blown. AI software fees have increased 20% to 37% over the past year. Despite all of this, Big Tech has announced $740 billion in capital expenditures for AI this year, a 69% increase from 2025, while laying off more than 92,000 tech workers. My Take The core contradiction of the AI moment is now being stated openly by people inside the industry. Companies are cutting human workers who are cheaper than the AI replacing them, to fund AI infrastructure that isn't generating measurable productivity returns, financed by investors who are also funding the AI companies selling the tokens at prices those companies cannot sustain without continued subsidy. My honest read is that the workforce decisions being made right now are irreversible on a timeline the technology cannot meet. The entry-level pipeline being dismantled today will take a decade to rebuild. The engineers being cut to fund token budgets that exceed their salaries are the same people who would catch the failures when the AI gets it wrong. Companies are making permanent structural changes based on a cost structure that doesn't exist yet and a productivity case that by their own executives' admission hasn't materialized. At some point the distance between the bet and the reality has to close, and the people who absorbed the cost of being wrong won't be the ones who made the decision. Hedgie🤗

@conorsen What data are you trying to pull out of the PDF?

I burned through all my tokens in a session on Claude Pro this morning in maybe 10 minutes trying to pull data out of one PDF — there’s just no way there’s enough compute to disrupt a meaningful number of jobs this year.

@marcosagusstinn Sovereignty literally means: supreme, independent control and lawmaking authority over a territory. We were promised EU as an economic block, but what you're advocating for is the EUSSR and the destruction of individual national identity.

@AlpacaAurelius 1985-2001

When do you think human civilization peaked?

@ShutupLyle emenies. warwor eleven.

It’s always a pleasure getting to film with Ilhan Omar. World War Eleven coming soon!

@BrianRoemmele AI slop

So many think the robots are coming. They have been here but recently because of AI nearly Zero Humans need to be involved. This factory floor had about 70 people each for 2 shifts. They are no longer here…

Concerning. As I’ve said many times before, the biggest risk of AI isn’t James Cameron’s The Terminator, it’s George Orwell’s 1984.

I don't understand why this moron keeps saying that. If it's true (which it isn't), why the hell are you working on building such a destructive tech? If it's a lie (which it is), what are you trying to achieve by spreading this fear among people who don't understand how the tech works? Do you want investors to give you even more money to burn without having any business model other than burning money?

@atmoio You're a great voice for us skeptics! My thoughts about AI is what I have on my profile Bio - When "close enough" isn't enough. Like you said, AI gets you the easy 80%, the last 20%, that's where the hard work lies.

The real reason they keep saying AI will take your job

i went to clickup.com. opened the page source. found a hardcoded API key in the javascript. copied it. sent one GET request. got back 959 email addresses and 3,165 internal feature flags. employees from Home Depot. Fortinet. Autodesk. Tenable. Rakuten. Mayo Clinic. Permira. Akin Gump. government workers from Wyoming, Arkansas, North Carolina, Montana, Queensland Australia, and New Zealand. a Microsoft contractor. 71 clickup employees. fortinet sells enterprise firewalls. tenable makes Nessus, the vulnerability scanner half the industry runs. their employees emails are exposed because clickup hardcoded a third party API key in a javascript file that loads before you even log in. this was first reported to clickup through hackerone on January 17, 2025. its now April 2026. the key has not been rotated. i just pulled the response five minutes ago. every email is still there. clickup raised $535 million at a $4 billion valuation. claims 85% of the Fortune 500 use their platform. looks like the proof is in the page source.

@PWestoff This is so counter-intuitive: if they'd actually just create better living conditions for native citizens, which would be the easy thing to do, we'd vote FOR them.

The acceleration of our destruction is for a reason. The Traitor Class know the democratic jig is up across most of Europe, so they are intent on importing as many of their revolutionary foot-soldiers as possible. Some say MILLIONS are getting into Spain.

This is what happens when you deploy an AI chatbot to answer questions from your critical "knowledge base". Multi-billion manufacturing company. Chatbot cost $$$ - and it's garbage.

🧐 Rusia era el país con mayor potencial del planeta hasta que llegó Lenin. 🧐 Alemania era una economía en despegue hasta que Stalin decidió aislar el Este. 🧐 Cuba era la isla más hermosa de América hasta que llegó Castro. 🧐 Argentina era una economía de referencia mundial hasta que llegó Perón. 🧐 Venezuela era uno de los países más ricos de América hasta que llegaron Chávez y Maduro. 🧐 México era un país a un paso del despegue hasta que llegaron AMLO y Sheinbaum. 🧐 Chile era una economía frágil hasta que Allende llegó para terminar de arruinarla. 🧐 Irán disfrutaba de cierta libertad hasta que los Ayatolás la convirtieron en una prisión. La Izquierda lo destroza todo, tanto el pasado, presente y futuro.

On X people are starting to admit the [AI] emperor has no clothes. On LinkedIn people are still full-on posting "run your entire company on AI agents" fantasy.

@Dr_Gingerballs I don't understand how people think they can vibe something in 5 minutes, then foolishly trust these "agent"-things to automate EVERYTHING, deploy and then go for a coffee.

AI agents are basically viruses that people actually pay for. How many times are we going to fall for this? AI is a scam.

Total AI disaster, totally predictable

@forgebitz It gets worse with harder languages like Finnish, it's ridiculously bad. Even asking AI to write a page of text in Finnish, it's clunky at best.

i used ai to translate a page to french it looked french to me, quite impressive actually until french people actually saw it turns out it was really bad i feel like this about most ai output, quite impressive if you have very little domain knowledge

@ZubyMusic @jacobrodri_ It isn't free. There's always some 20€...+100€ fee.

@jacobrodri_ But the healthcare is 'free'...

How is it legal to make $10k/month and lose nearly 50% to taxes? Europe is finished

Hypernormalisation: “They had discovered that it was impossible to control and predict everything... But rather than reveal this, the technocrats began to pretend that everything was still going according to plan, and what emerged instead was a fake version of the society…”

@rust_ruslan Spread this in the interwebs, then it gets ingested into training data. Repeat. Corrupts models. AIs hallucinate on this fake "data". Models start to collapse. No way of fixing.

Can water intake prevent Alzheimer’s disease? No. This is fully AI-generated… but the data below could easily pass as real. The new ChatGPT image model is truly impressive, but I think it poses a real risk for scientific integrity in future. For example, I could just generate a dataset with a single prompt that appears to show something like water preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Ironically, we used to laugh at obvious “AI slop” (like those weird generated mice), but that’s changing pretty fast. If I were reviewing this fake figure today, I’m not sure I could reliably tell whether this figure is real or AI-generated? The bigger issue is that the usual signals we rely on e.g., how realistic or plausible something looks are no longer enough. I think we really need more comprehensive AI detection and, more importantly, stronger verification standards for scientific submissions going forward. We’ll probably also need better ways to digitize lab notebooks and ensure access to raw data, something closer to how code and version history are tracked...
