For anyone unaware of this clip's origins, it comes from a Japanese TV series called Blue Blazes. It's a comedic autobiographical story based on a manga by Kazuhiko Shimamoto about his time in college where he encounters the future founders of Gainax. It's awesome! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxuB...

The AI bubble has been exhausting for everyone involved. It has made life harder and more expensive, allowed for the enshittification of today for a hypothetical better tomorrow, and is fundamentally based on deception and acting in bad faith. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-hater...

The entire AI bubble has been exhausting for everybody involved.

Because nothing works yet as a real business model or anything approaching truly autonomous (or “magical”) software, there’s the implicit knowledge that you’re going to have to change your product again and again to update to the “best model” or “make things more efficient” (IE: lose less money) or when something breaks because a model’s training got tweaked.

The euphemism for this is “exponential improvement,” when it’s really an Arnold Palmer of instability and novelty, and abuses basically anyone connected to the ecosystem every single day.

If there’s always something new happening, it’s hard to pin down if things have gotten better, or whether you’re just more proficient in cobbling together different harnesses, prompts and API calls to make it do what you need it to. It is undignified that people tolerate models that become either dumber over time or at random opportunities, while also being deeply exhausting for the end user.

As a paying user of an LLM-powered service, you are guaranteed at some point to face a degradation in service where models misbehave, some sort of shift in rate limits, or some sort of change in product functionality based on their shifting economics.

Has there ever been a bigger shift in a business product’s value than GitHub Copilot’s shift to token-based billing? Microsoft rug pulled two million people that had built workflows on a platform that was allowing them to burn $1,000 to $5,000 in tokens for $20 a month. That’s genuinely crazy! It’s magnitudes more than when Uber jacked up its prices.

It’s equally-insane that Anthropic and OpenAI similarly fuck with their customers, changing the amount of value you get for $20, $100, or $200 a month at random in a way that shouldn’t be legal.

Basically any AI-powered software is subject to arbitrary shifts in availability, capability and pricing at the whims of the vendor. As I covered in my Subprime AI Crisis piece earlier in the year, Replit, Perplexity, and multiple other AI companies have sold their customers a lie by pushing an unprofitable product that they must constantly “tweak” to bring down costs, all while misleading the customer about a “price” that continually declines in value as the price stays the same.

This is not a sustainable industry — either economically or emotionally — because it has a fundamentally dishonest relationship with its customers defined by the inconsistency of LLMs both in efficacy, stability (see: Anthropic’s downtime) and training, with each model randomly better or worse at things to the point that it must be a legitimate nightmare to run any software or build any product on top of them.

And the fact they haven’t worked out their business models means that whatever you’re paying today is guaranteed to change. What other product do you regularly buy that has such chaos built into it? What other thing do you pay for where the prices (or availability) can shift to the point that you literally can’t use it in the same way at a moment’s notice? And why does anybody tolerate it when it comes to AI?

I’ll add that this is a specific situation where the tech media has categorically failed the customer. We have companies valued at hundreds of billions of dollars that are fucking their customers over day-in-day-out, and the response is mostly to say “huh that’s strange” and refuse to let a single critical thought cross their minds.

Every part of the AI bubble must exist in a constant state of flux so that there can always be a future breakthrough that’s always just out of reach. AI does not have to reach an actual achievement — it just has to “show promise” in some way. It is an objective disaster that Microsoft spent more than $260 billion on capex to create a business with less than $11 billion in annual revenue outside of OpenAI, but people will see “$34.33 billion in annual AI revenue” and say “that’s promising growth, up 123% year-over-year!”

They’ll hear about LLMs that delete people’s databases and say “well the models have gotten exponentially better,” even if that better part never seems to eliminate these issues, make a profitable AI company, or create a true killer app that you can point at beyond saying “ChatGPT has one billion weekly active users,” despite around 95% of them not paying a penny (and costing OpenAI likely billions of dollars) and eMarketer estimating that the entire global AI chatbot advertising industry will make $5.41 billion revenue in 2030, giving OpenAI little hope of stemming the burn. These big numbers — like Anthropic having a $65 billion annualized run rate, an undefined term that obfuscates the fact that Anthropic has made $16.5 billion in the first half of 2026, losing billions of dollars in the process — are fundamentally meaningless, because they’re easily gamed at best, and inherently uncertain at worst.

The AI industry demands you constantly live in the future tense. Everything is about tomorrow’s billions or trillions, the potential of what you’re seeing rather than the thing itself, future gigawatts in data centers that you must treat as if they are already built and value based on things that AI might theoretically do. I challenge you to read everything about AI from this point forward with this in your mind so you can see how intently this industry tries to drag your focus away from what it’s doing toward what it might theoretically do if it o

Feliz dia del Eclipse :D

Sheila @marcapaginasolv.bsky.social · last mo.

Pequeño recordatorio de que si podéis, donar siempre en el hospital. En Madrid se tiene un chiringuito montado con la cruz roja y las bolsas de sangre se venden carísimas a la sanidad pública. Y antes de que alguien me lo justifique, solo ocurre en Madrid y trabajé muchos años en un hospital.

Monts@montserius.bsky.social · last mo.

Si sois/estáis en Madrid y estáis en condiciones de donar, el banco de sangre os necesita!

Cartel del hospital La Princesa (Comunidad de Madrid). Notifica fe que se necesitan donaciones de sangre de los grupos 0 negativo y A negativo. El banco de sangre se ubica en la segunda planta.

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

Seguramente será la única ocasión en la que un tebeo en el que participo pueda ser nominado en estos premios, y aunque con la cantidad de obras infantiles y juveniles que se publican esté muuuuy complicado, me gustaría que la tuvierais en cuenta, por Arechi/Yermo que han apostado por ella. :)

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.
