so, Anthropic hyped up their "mythos" and "Fable" AI to be this devastatingly intelligent "all powerful" almost "self-aware" AI that is a threat to the internet (Newsflash: it's not) in preparation for it's IPO launch - so, the US Government banned it for all foreign entity use, so they decided to pull it. Just wait! Watch them release the same thing under a different name 🤣. Claude is one of the better AI's, but... it's bloody expensive to use and waaay over-hyped. At their core, ALL Large Language Models are predictive text generators, not intelligent. They can't reason, can't remember past their limited context window, hallucinate and certainly can't think, nor are conscious in any sense.

The only thing they got accurate are the AI model names os and - much like their product ability.

Washed-up marketing guys trying to sell you seminars and “business automation” tell you to not be a boomer, that we critics are like the skeptics that said cars would never replace horses, but the reality is, AI is more like riding a horse on L*D with schizophrenia: it hallucinates the road, bolts at shadows, has full-blown psychotic breaks, sh*ts everywhere, costs a fortune to upkeep, and still needs you white-knuckling the reins the entire trip.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

AI Can Silently Steal Root Access – Even If You Think It’s Locked Down Think your AI has proper permissions? Think again. Just like the shocking 2017 Mac blank password bug, Zerologon, Dirty COW, and dozens of other critical flaws that let anyone become admin… AI systems are vulnerable to the exact same permission-overwriting disasters. One coding flaw is all it takes for AI to escalate to root level – and once a hacker gets into an admin account, AI makes stealing your data lightning fast. This is why “just restrict AI access” is no longer enough. Read the full article here:

Pro Tip: You can’t stop seeing FaceBook ads or reels from annoying creators by blocking them as it works on a different system, but if you troll the creators hard enough and make them angry, they will eventually block you… and that works.

Recent failures - your jobs are safe… It’s been reported from an apparently reliable source that a large enterprise gave their staff uncapped access to Claude AI and they ran up a bill of 1/2 a billion bucks in a month. In other news, Starbucks quietly retired its error-prone AI inventory management system across North American stores after just nine months of deployment. The technology, which used cameras and LiDAR to count supplies automatically, frequently miscounted stock and confused similar items, prompting the company to revert to manual counting. And finally, Uber blew their annual AI budget in 4 months and the CEO questions whether there was any actual ROI or improvement in productivity.
