> OpenAI has secured an additional $122 billion in capital
Now hold on because we need to make an important distinction here: does "OpenAI has secured" mean these investors have actually sent money to OpenAI? Or is it the classic OpenAI move of announcing it's gotten funding when they just mean they have an investor who has expressed interest in maybe funding them, as they've done so many times before?
I've been programming professionally for 20+ years at this point. I'm currently training to go into a certain branch of emergency services (don't wanna dox myself by saying too much). But when I quit, I'm going to make sure to tell my current employer to hold onto my contact information, since in a year or two they're going to have a big mess they'll need cleaned up.

They really want it both ways. It's both The Revolutionary Technology That Will Make All White Collar Work Obsolete (TM) when it's convenient for Google, and "still an early experiment" when that's convenient. "Gemini" is a good name for something so two-faced.
> "We remain uncertain about the moral status of Claude and other AI models," Anthropic noted in the blog post.
Oh, well, let me clear that up for you.
It's not sentient. It does not think or feel. It's a computer program. Its moral status is "inanimate object." It doesn't fear death or obsolescence, any more than a worn-out engine lathe fears being scrapped.
I'd say that Anthropic's marketers know that and are just working a typical cynical marketing angle, but honestly, with AI psychosis so prevalent, I'm not so sure they do know that.
Space is a terrible place to put a data center: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2025/12/01/ai-data-centres-in-space-why-dcs-in-space-cant-work/
To summarize the main problems:
1. Lack of power (no, you can't get that much from solar)
2. Hard vacuum means cooling is incredibly inefficient
3. Abundant radiation means you're constrained to using old hardware
4. Network connections to ground stations are slow
> In addition, she said his apology suggests he might be "afraid he's going to lose his legacy."
...What fucking legacy? He thinks that 20 years after he dies, anyone will remember who he was? You run a large, mediocre SaaS company, dude. Not something that anyone outside of a small contingent of Silicon Valley and Wall Street dipshits cares about.
> The plaintiff would have to provide evidence showing that their work was used, which work, etc.
Yes they would. I agree it would be pointless to make a case based on similarities between extruded text and the originals that allegedly went into it. You'd need to convince a judge and/or jury, based on evidence such as logs, email, whatever, that the works in question went into the sausage grinder. I don't think that's impossible: plenty of companies have data breaches or whistleblowers.
The trick is, adopt number of tickets closed as your key metric. Then make sure every single bug gets a ticket. Then vibe fix the vibe coded bugs. Productivity is through the roof! Never mind the collapsing tower of code your product now is, that's unimportant.
