The Athletic@theathletic.com · 2w agoSpeaking for the first time since ralliers began assembling in support of her stance against transgender participation in women’s sports, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said this was an opportunity for the WNBA to uphold its values of diversity and inclusion. nyti.ms/4fHr4Qn

Further proof that AI is pushed by the greedy & implemented by the incurious.

Generative AI is a $30 billion TAM industry pretending to be a trillion-dollar one, propped up by circular financing from NVIDIA and desperation from hyperscalers like Oracle, who has mortgaged its entire future on the idea that OpenAI can pay it $75bn a year for compute.
Ed Zitron@edzitron.com · last mo.Had a great time on CNBC talking OpenAI’s sovereign wealth fund play, AI ROI, the capex bubble, and how the tech industry has run out of hypergrowth ideas. www.cnbc.com/video/2026/0...
There is no "value," nor are there "profits" to share from a company like OpenAI. The only reason that the entire tech industry is focused on AI is because they're completely out of hypergrowth ideas.

This ⬇️ While again, I think generally SM restrictions for kids are a good thing in concept, the timing of these overlapping policies that will set to decrease kids peer to peer contact, while increasing peer to AI contact, is not sitting right with me.
Haley@haleyjo261.bsky.social · 2mo agoI can’t make “ban social media” and “shove AI down the kids throats” make sense in my head. To me these are opposing view points. Sorry kids, you can’t chat with your friends after school but your chat bot buddy is available. I honestly don’t think our government knows whether it’s coming or going.

The deputy minister wants to be the first province to have it integrated k-12. The urgency to do this is not evidence-based in any way. Waste of resources and precious human spirit to just be racing to be first for no reason. This is not the same as early NB tech exploit success.
