High school kid fights AI surveillance in his school & wins

This is crazy how insidious AI surveillance has become and just how deep all this shit ingrained everywhere. But good to see that there are small victories being won to beat back this insanity.

OpenAI launches ChatGPT for personal finance, will let you connect bank accounts

Oh joy, just what I need in my bank account!!! A guessing machine that can randomly do things without being held to account for its errors. What could possibly go wrong?

Shark Tank Billionaire Kevin O’Leary Accused Activists Of Being Chinese Operatives

I think Kevin O' Leary has AI psychosis about the activists fighting his absolutely absurd Data Center in Utah. It's hilarious seeing this now ubiquitous line being used to try to question anyone who wants to fight back against Data Centers. They really are leaning into this whole straw man of China being in a race for AI dominance.

Kinda hilarious that the board of SpaceX is now tying Elon's pay package to be contingent on some crazy goals that aren't even remotely possible in the short term.

The package includes:

  1. 200 million super-voting shares if SpaceX hits a $7.5 trillion valuation and establishes a permanent Mars colony with at least 1 million people .

  2. Additional 60.4 million shares if SpaceX reaches certain valuation goals and operates data centers in space delivering 100 TERAWATTS of compute.

  3. Elon Musk will not receive a single share if the company fails to reach the board's valuation targets.

The $7.5 trillion valuation seems possible but the Permanent Mars Colony and the insane amount of Space Data Center compute really are going to fuck him over. These are monumental feats that I don't think he can even remotely achieve.

Having read a lot of u/ezitron's work breaking down the revenue vs costs for OpenAI and Anthropic, it's got me really curious how the Generative Ai Video companies aren't burning through an insane amount of money. They have been using a similar subscription model so they have to be subsidizing the costs to generate all this media by way more. Look at Kling now introducing 4K video. That is a lot of pixels per frame so the compute power necessary to generate it has to be gigantic.
