Finance: The Independent | Musk’s $1.75 trillion moonshot hits gravity as analysts slash SpaceX value@mastodonmigration Morningstar thinks SpaceX is worth $780 BILLION? Based on what? Their astronomical profits?

Throwing one more story into the "Is AI going to replace all jobs?" folder.@energisch_ @evacide It is possible that “Sasha Rogelberg” writing for Yahoo Finance is a non-native speaker, but seems unlikely. I think it’s much more likely that they are under extreme pressure, probably had most of their team laid off, and either chose to or were required to use an LLM to write the story. Not saying it’s a false story, seems like it’s probably true. But the slop makes it un-trustworthy. And I am so fucking tired of having to wonder about every article, “is this real or just completely made up?” Not exactly a hot take around here, I know.

Throwing one more story into the "Is AI going to replace all jobs?" folder.@evacide Maybe just me but that article kinda reads like slop. I know humans make mistakes too but:
“If the system counted too much of the product, it wouldn’t send enough of a product a store was running low on. If the system counted too little, it wouldn’t ship enough of a needed product.”
Huh?

Now you can keep track of how many billions the AI companies are losing on AI.@nick_appleyard @MikeElgan I love how their “Enterprise Applications” are going to capture roughly 400% of the total worldwide IT spend. Can we please make fraud illegal again?

Y’all, we need to talk about upcoming #IPOs, and the insane rule changes that #nasdaq has just announced.@violetmadder @RaymondPierreL3 @MissConstrue A significant portion of Iran, Lebanon and Palestine would disagree with you. Not to mention Ukraine and all the wars we never hear about because there aren’t any white people involved.

No way.@damien @mkoek @rysiek From what I can tell everyone is basing this belief on a historical trend of computing getting cheaper over time that doesn’t really work for LLM inference, combined with some dude at Gartner who says inference is going to be 90% cheaper in 4 years. Based on what?
️. And, you know, Gartner totally doesn’t have a track record of being wrong like half the time

I need someone to explain to me exactly how Mamdani manages to sidestep the very bureaucracy that other politicians always blame for their inability to get anything done. -

Welp, it's taken me a few days to get round to it, but I have just now deleted Chrome (and it's associated LLM malware downloads) from ALL my Macs.@AlisonW @JustinMac84 @cstross Except that apparently Chrome doesn’t even use the local model except for a couple of features that most people don’t want or use.
