❝  At one business, a single employee spent over $150,000 a month on AI tokens. An Nvidia executive admitted that he was spending more on AI costs for his research team than what he pays the actual employees. One unfortunate company reportedly blew through $500 million in a month on Claude usage fees. On average, new research from the Ramp AI Index found that the most “AI-pilled” businesses are spending around $7,500 per employee every month on AI. ❞

I'm not a sports fan, but since I was a child first aware of professional sports organizations, with parents and a partner who all like baseball, I have never understood why team ownership doesn't belong to the cities who build the stadia, support the teams with civic funds and perks. So interesting someone else proposes.

I am quite sure someone has made the point more eloquently than I, in the past, and at length, but it is still never going to stop surprising/frustrating me how people equate language capacity with "intelligence"/consciousness and capability.

All LLM marketing as "intelligence" and as if it is fundamentally capable, somehow, is just trading on the racism and classism that has surrounded "proper"/"business"/"academic" English and it's more, shall we say, vulgar (as in "common") usage.

It's the same vein as the people who changed Sojourner Truth's speech from its original grammar to one of a "slave dialect": https://www.thesojournertruthproject.com/compare-the-speeches/

it's the same fucking thing.

@blogdiva@mastodon.social so we all have to “verify our identity” with the Epstein class (and all the human traffickers in said class) so that children can be “protected from Facebook” but child marriage, that’s totally fine, because then they’re your property and so whatever you do is fine /s

Fuuuuucking… hate this.
