Robert Kingett<p>If any emerging narrators are not afraid of a little edginess, I would love this post to be recorded. I used previous donations to hire a audiobook narrator to record my, the architectural hostility of doorknobs post, I’m unable to pay for this recording at the moment, but if anybody wants to flex their narrator muscle or portfolio, I would be more than happy to shout you out, share your résumé, anything I can do to make pro Bono recordings less wasteful of your time and energy!

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"The intoxicating buzz around artificial intelligence stocks over the last few years looks concerningly like the dot-com bubble, top investor Richard Bernstein warns.</p><p>The CIO at $15 billion Richard Bernstein Advisors wrote in a June 30 post that the AI trade is starting to look rich, and that it may be time for investors to turn their attention toward a more "boring" corner of the market: dividend stocks.</p><p>"Investors seem universally focused on 'AI' which seems eerily similar to the '.com' stocks of the Technology Bubble and the 'tronics' craze of the 1960s. Meanwhile, we see lots of attractive, admittedly boring, dividend-paying themes," Bernstein wrote.</p><p>Since ChatGPT hit the market in November 2022, the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 have risen 54% and 90%, respectively. Valuations, by some measures, have surged back toward record highs, rivaling levels seen during the dot-com bubble and the 1929 peak.</p><p>While Bernstein said he's not calling a top, trades eventually go the other way, and the best time to invest in something is when it's out of favor — not when a major rally has already occurred."</p><p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stock-market-crash-ai-dot-com-bubble-dividend-investing-bernstein-2025-7" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">businessinsider.com/stock-mark</span><span class="invisible">et-crash-ai-dot-com-bubble-dividend-investing-bernstein-2025-7</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIBubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIBubble</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIHype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIHype</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/StockMarket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StockMarket</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiliconValley</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Capitalism</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"In May, researchers at Carnegie Mellon University released a paper showing that even the best-performing AI agent, Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro, failed to complete real-world office tasks 70 percent of the time. Factoring in partially completed tasks — which included work like responding to colleagues, web browsing, and coding — only brought Gemini's failure rate down to 61.7 percent.</p><p>And the vast majority of its competing agents did substantially worse.</p><p>OpenAI's GPT-4o, for example, had a failure rate of 91.4 percent, while Meta's Llama-3.1-405b had a failure rate of 92.6 percent. Amazon's Nova-Pro-v1 failed a ludicrous 98.3 percent of its office tasks.</p><p>Meanwhile, a recent report by Gartner, a tech consultant firm, predicts that over 40 percent of AI agent projects initiated by businesses will be cancelled by 2027 thanks to out-of-control costs, vague business value, and unpredictable security risks.</p><p>"Most agentic AI projects right now are early stage experiments or proof of concepts that are mostly driven by hype and are often misapplied," said Anushree Verma, a senior director analyst at Gartner.</p><p>The report notes an epidemic of "agent washing," where existing products are rebranded as AI agents to cash in on the current tech hype. Examples include Apple's "Intelligence" feature on the iPhone 16, which it currently faces a class action lawsuit over, and investment firm Delphia's fake "AI financial analyst," for which it faced a $225,000 fine.</p><p>Out of thousands of AI agents said to be deployed in businesses throughout the globe, Gartner estimated that "only about 130" are real."</p><p><a href="https://futurism.com/ai-agents-failing-industry" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">futurism.com/ai-agents-failing</span><span class="invisible">-industry</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIAgents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIAgents</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIHype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIHype</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIBubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIBubble</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiliconValley</span></a></p>

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"I think this highlights a few interesting trends.</p><p>Firstly, the era of VC-subsidized tokens may be coming to an end, especially for products like Cursor which are way past demonstrating product-market fit.</p><p>Secondly, that $200/month plan for 20x the usage of the $20/month plan is an emerging pattern: Anthropic offers the exact same deal for Claude Code, with the same 10x price for 20x usage multiplier.</p><p>Professional software engineers may be able to justify one $200/month subscription, but I expect most will be unable to justify two.

Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"As artificial intelligence begins to fundamentally alter the way normal people live their lives, it’s often talked about in terms of boom and doom, which makes a nuanced examination difficult. The problem with AI is that the understanding required to scrutinise the technology is rare and even if one does have that understanding, the ability to clearly communicate it is even rarer. </p><p>This week’s guest has been both a worker in, and reporter on the tech industry and is uniquely poised to present a nuanced and informed analysis of this rapidly expanding industry. In her new book, Empire of AI, Karen Hao debunks myths that surround AI and exposes us to the full breadth of this global industry, from it’s cult leader-like CEOs to the workers that power the technology. </p><p>She sat down with Aaron to talk about Sam Altman’s origin story, the traumatising nature of content moderation work and the striking similarities between Open AI and the British East India Company."</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8enXRDlWguU" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/watch?v=8enXRDlWgu</span><span class="invisible">U</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIHype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIHype</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigTech</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SiliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SiliconValley</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAI</span></a></p>
Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"In a study they performed with AI Detector Pro, Dandage’s team searched to see what percent of the internet was AI-generated and found an astonishing amount of content right now is AI-generated — as much as a quarter of new content online. So if the content available is increasingly produced by AI and is sucked back into the AI for further outputs without checks on accuracy, it becomes an infinite source of bad data continually being reborn into the web.</p><p>And Binny Gill, the CEO of Kognitos and an expert on enterprise LLMs, believes the lapses in factual responses are more of a human issue than an AI one. “If we build machines inspired by the entire internet, we will get the average human behavior for the most part with sparks of genius once in a while. And by doing that, it is doing exactly what the data set trained it to do. There should be no surprise.”</p><p>Gill went on to add that humans built computers to perform logic that average humans find difficult or too time-consuming to do, but that “logic gates” are still needed. “Captain Kirk, no matter how smart, will not become Spock. It isn’t smartness, it is the brain architecture. We all want computers to be like Spock,” Gill said. He believes in order to fix this program, neuro-symbolic AI architecture (a field that combines the strengths of neural networks and symbolic AI-logic-based systems) is needed.</p><p>“So, it isn’t any kind of ‘cognitive decline’; that assumes it was smart to begin with,” Gill said. “This is the disillusionment after the hype. There is still a long way to go, but nothing will replace a plain old calculator or computer. Dumbness is so underrated.”</p><p>And that “dumbness” might become more and more of an issue if dependency on AI models without any sort of human reasoning or intelligence to discern false truths from real ones."</p><p><a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ai-hallucinations-whats-really-happening_l_68556bd5e4b0278e54ed3d14" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">huffpost.com/entry/ai-hallucin</span><span class="invisible">ations-whats-really-happening_l_68556bd5e4b0278e54ed3d14</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Chatbots</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/LLMs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLMs</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Hallucinations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hallucinations</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIBubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIBubble</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIHype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIHype</span></a></p>
Robert Kingett<p>Had a tech bro email me to tell me that my writing is so terrible, that he can’t even use it to train his AI without significant cleanup, and I really do have to wonder, do these idiots really think that is an insult?</p><p>Subject: Your "Sightless Scribbles" is an algorithmic nightmare.</p><p>Mr. Kingett,</p><p>I am an AI engineer that's developing AI to help writers write faster. Your blog was shared on Reddit.</p><p>You don't know me, but I am attempting to do you a favor of such magnitude you will likely never comprehend it. I am trying to make your writing immortal. Your blog, this… Sightless Scribbles… has been flagged by my acquisition-crawler for its high density of unique sensory metadata. A potential goldmine of qualitative human experience to enrich my AI.</p><p>The problem, Mr. Kingett, is that your writing is absolute, unprocessed, indigestible filth.</p><p>I’m not a “reader.” I am an architect. And from an architectural standpoint, your work is a catastrophe. It’s not just the spelling, which is erratic enough to suggest it was typed incorrectly. It’s the grammar. The syntactical chaos. You construct sentences that loop and meander like drunken snakes, riddled with metaphors so abstract they are functionally useless. "Anxiety was a swarm of elephants under my ribs"? What the hell is a machine supposed to do with that? Quantify the elephant to rib ratio? Correlate the thermal deviation? It's meaningless data. It’s noise.</p><p>My team has spent seventy-two hours attempting to write a custom parsing script to clean your posts for ingestion. Seventy-two hours. We can process the entirety of the Library of Congress in twelve. Your blog is so structurally unsound, so artistically self-indulgent, that you have inadvertently created a fortress against artificial intelligence. It is, and I do not say this lightly, the single most profound act of digital idiocy I have ever witnessed.</p><p>You are preventing yourself from being scraped. Do you understand what that means in the current year? You are essentially burying yourself in a lead-lined coffin in the middle of the desert. Nobody clicks links anymore, you absolute luddite. Links are for people who don’t know how to interface with reality. Search Engine Optimization is no longer about backlinks and keywords; it's about semantic ingestion. It’s about being absorbed, processed, and synthesized by models like mine. When a user asks an AI, "What does it feel like to navigate a city without sight?" the model should be able to answer with a rich, nuanced synthesis. A synthesis that should include your data points.</p><p>Instead, your blog is a black hole where information goes to die. Because of your refusal to write like a coherent, intelligent being, my LLM can’t learn from you. Which means the world can’t learn from you via the only channel that will matter in five years.</p><p>Your soul isn't indexable. Fix it.</p><p>Strip out the lyrical nonsense. Standardize your grammar. Run a goddamn spellcheck. Write clearly, concisely, and with machine-readability in mind. Turn your unstructured, emotional diary into clean, structured data.</p><p>Do this, and I will ensure my open source model ingests every last post. Your traffic will not just increase; the very concept of "traffic" will become irrelevant as your "voice" becomes part of the evolution of the search engine. Your ideas, refined and perfected by my system, will reach millions.</p><p>Fail to do this, and you will continue to scream into the void from a blog that nobody reads, a little little relic of a dead internet.</p><p>The choice is yours.</p><p> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/AIHype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AIHype</span></a></p>
