Fantastic, as I just moved my website over to Cloudflare pages during the weekend, due to my ISP not being reliable "enough" to keep hosting it at home. 🤦‍♂️

Possibly, indeed, take to heart the words of the person who only three weeks ago wrote this about OpenAI, a certain @anildash.com
This Thing Needs a Warning Label Here's what's most key for contextualizing the Atlas browser: this is the same company whose chatbot keeps telling vulnerable children to self-harm, and they do, and now a number of them are dead. When those who are in psychological distress engage with these tools, they very frequently get pulled into states of extreme duress — which OpenAI knows keenly well because even one of their own investors has gone off the deep end when over-using the platform. In fact, the user experience feature that OpenAI is most effective at creating is emotional dependency amongst its users, as evidenced by the level of despondency its users showed after the recent release of GPT-5. When users respond to a software update by expressing deep emotional distress, and that they feel like they've lost a friend, you have a profound bug. If there are enough grieving parents who have been devastated by your technology that they can form a support group for each other, then there should at the very least be a pretty aggressive warning label on this application when it is initially installed. Then, at a far less serious level, if this product is going to have extreme and invasive effects on markets and cultural ecosystems without disclosing the mechanisms it uses to do so, and without asking the consent of the many parties whose intellectual property and labor it will rely on to accomplish those ends, then we need to have a much broader reckoning.

What surprises me is that some people believe those valuations as a true indicator of the company value.

Nothing further from the truth, and the gap keeps widening.

If you think of it, this secret has been hiding in their name forever. You just need to read it the right way.

code-first was the first broken promise from the same vendors, who tried to lure in the incompetents and created a whole new generation of dunning kruger specimens.

As that market might be running dry after people realised it was just BS, they're looking somewhere else.

Plus, I've been reading all the interesting articles from @edzitron.com about the GenAI bubble.

This is not financial advice.

Great book

I recently read it too and published my review in this article: makemeacto.substack.com/p/books-i-re...

Enjoy the reading!

I open this month's segment on summer reads with a great highligh, followed by a couple less demanding reads.

I've written about this insane tendency a few months ago: makemeacto.substack.com/p/accelerati...
Accelerating drift into failure: today's most widespread "AI Strategy"
What can go wrong when the CEO pushes technical decisions, shift focus from users' problems to unreliable technical capabilities, and try to persuade everyone else to follow suit?

What a perfect manual of bad management!

Besides what everybody mentioned (going rogue, meeting on Saturday), one extra subtle piece stands out.

He should have consulted people to survey their views before taking such a "bold" decision, not as an afterthought once faced with resistance.
