The AI bubble's burst is getting closer and closer. I'm now not questioning whether we're getting the burst in 2026 or not, but which quarter?

AI/LLMs are marketed as great tools to solve problems, get advice, create images & punch far above one's "weight class" to effectively communicate & persuade others.
They are anti-reality, anti-truth, anti-human, destructive multi-modal force-multiplier bullshit spreaders aimed directly at society

If I ever hear "um, ackchually, XY is not a real christian, we instead need REAL christians who love their neighbor" yet again...
Heritage Foundation, backers of Project 2025, have issued a call to criminalize porn by detailing specific types of imagery that should be illegal, including "deviate sexual intercourse," "female genitals," and "nudity."
Only "civilizing" images that point to "marital sex" should be allowed.

As with trans people, DEI, gay marriage, immigrants and Islam, the right is obsessed with cataloging imagined societal harms from porn. Which I suspect means them obsessing about it.
Anyway, nice to see them shout out the free speech demons fighting censorship at @fsc.bsky.social.

Right-wing perpetrators committed 93% of political killings since 2000.
Even if we include anti-police terrorist killings by non-leftists, "the left" did just 6%.
Exclude those? Just 5 killings, 1.4%.
The US right is far, far more violent than the US left.

I'm seeing more and more often people bringing up agricultural water usage to dismiss water usage by AI datacenters. We're entering a very Malthusian future.

So the guy himself is saying they arent really even seeing productivity gains? He said they are just using AI because they are afraid of being left behind. He is inviting this public scorn by repeating techbro talking points for no benefit at all. The mind of a CEO is fascinating.
If I had known the two paragraphs about genAI in my article today would be so controversial, I would have expanded them a bit! Here's a rough transcript of the relevant portion of my interview with Swen Vincke, so everyone has all the context. (Full article here: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...)

We’ve talked about the Australian social media ban that went into effect last week, how dumb it is, and why it’s already a mess. But late last week, some additional news broke that makes the whole thing even more grotesque: turns out the campaign pushing hardest for the ban was run by an ad agency that makes gambling ads.
