The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Anything short of a wholehearted "fuck literally all of this, we are going to go Nuremburg on these freaks and then drain Elon dry to fund fixing this stuff" will lose, badly.

"The tools are getting better!" is a constant drumbeat in AI circles. They say, Claude is 1000x more powerful now. But practically what does that mean? It means nothing. The "insights" are just as fake as they were five years ago.

People in our industry saying AI is inevitable or will revolutionize xyz:
You need to back those statements up. Research is saying otherwise and if you can't show anything that disproves said research your opinion is just wishful or fatalistic thinking.

the METR study is gonna go round again because Fortune *just* posted a fresh writeup of it yesterday, based on their own article from July last year

every time you see an AI guy dismiss it as insufficient, ask them where the better studies are. (there aren't any.)

Experienced software developers assumed AI would save them a chunk of time. But in one experiment, their tasks took 20% longer | Fortune
As more workers use AI, a recent study adds to growing evidence the tech doesn’t always deliver on promises of boosted productivity.
