Here's a really good read by Cory Doctorov @pluralistic@mamot.fr about the anatomy of the #AI bubble, why it is there, why and how it is harmful, and what we can potentially salvage from it once it pops.

OpenAI to Shut Down the Sora Video App

#Business #Digital #AI #OpenAI

An ex-Azure engineer published six essays arguing Microsoft's cloud has been on life support since 2008, and the cause isn't bad code. It's bad people decisions. Rushed launch, post-launch talent exodus, no testing discipline, no architectural vision. Sound familiar to anyone who's worked in a place that ships first and staffs later?

Now layer 2026 on top. Microsoft cut roughly 15,000 jobs in mid-2025. Coding agents are pumping out 4x more commits in 90 days. GitHub's unofficial uptime has slipped under 90% and the proposed fix is, wait for it, moving more of GitHub onto Azure. The same Azure the engineer says is held together with rushed decisions and wishful thinking.

🧠 The phrase that stuck with me is "knowledge dilution from high attrition." When the senior people who knew why a system was built that way leave, no LLM in the world can recover that context

🤖 More AI-written code does not mean less work. It means more code to review, test, deploy, and run, which means more compute and more humans needed downstream

📉 OpenAI signing an $11.9B compute deal with CoreWeave in March 2025 was the loudest "we don't trust your capacity" signal Microsoft has ever received from its closest partner

🪑 The bet that AI lets you cut headcount keeps colliding with the reality that AI generates work for humans faster than it removes it

Every CIO I talk to is being pitched the same dream: fewer engineers, more agents, lower run rate. The Azure story is what happens when that math doesn't pencil out and the bill comes due in incidents instead of dollars.

The above article makes me think of the quote from Cory Doctorow @pluralistic@mamot.fr :

“AI is the asbestos we are shovelling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations.”

Having to do a wanking motion in order to do something AI-related feels a bit on the nose.

#IntelligenzaArtificiale alla polizia, il Governo approva i decreti. #Piantedosi: “Non sarà un Grande Fratello”.

Il Consiglio dei ministri ha approvato in esame preliminare due decreti legislativi per adeguare la normativa italiana ai regolamenti europei. Uno dei passaggi riguarda l’uso dei sistemi di #AI da parte delle forze di polizia per attività di videosorveglianza, riconoscimento facciale e trattamento di dati biometrici collegati all’identificazione.

I am extremely disappointed with Freesound's AI policy so far...

They auto-opt in all creators to allow their sounds to be used for training generative machine learning models....

Without a way to opt-out.

Get phucked.

People who protest, people who show the fuck up to city council meetings, people who write letters and make calls, people who organize are achieving victories all over the US. One data center after another is getting canceled, one ICE "warehouse" concentration camp after another. We've forced the mutiny of preverts to backtrack and change tactics. We've beaten them in court countless times.

We get to choose victory or defeat.
