I’d never really looked into the name before but I just now realized what the Korolev was likely named for

yes, chainguard broke embargo, and within a few hours a reverse engineered PoC was kicking. I saw at least two implementations yesterday when assssing impending work

and I haven’t slept yet (although now aaaalmost done…)

there’s also the engineering-side faffery: now you’d need mixed memory controllers, mixed bus speeds, synchronisation issues, etc

simpler to just shove saltman et al in jail and recover world markets

what in the fuck

and I presume the answers default to yes

Betteridge’s reigns supreme

a nsfw to start wednesday, what if the billionaires all suddenly exploded

this is the same company that has attempted other ways of addicting their employees, for “productivity”

I follow a couple (like, 2~3) of fiber arts people and that was about the impression I got too, it’s blown up with that much spill

furthering my previous guessing that there’s likely only appetite for 2, maybe 3, of these ridiculous IPOs, a number of analyst notes have started kicking around and they’re getting progressively more realistic in their outlook. saw this one this morning

Red Flag #3: The IPO is Exit Liquidity, Not Growth Capital

To justify a $2 trillion valuation, our model shows that Anthropic would have to:
 • immediately improve NOPAT margin to 10% and sustain it for the next 10 years (compared to -175% reported operating margin in 2025),
 • grow revenue by 1000% in 2026 and 100% in 2027, and
 • grow revenue 56% compounded annually from 2028-2035.

sounds ambitious. sure hope they don’t have any material risks and systematic exposures that make that harder!

In this scenario, Anthropic’s
1. revenue would reach $3.6 trillion (compared to $4.6 billion in 2025), which is 1.4x the combined TTM
revenue of Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), NVIDIA (NVDA), Meta (META), and Oracle (ORCL).
2. NOPAT would reach $358 billion in 2035, compared to the company’s -$8 billion reported operating loss in 2025. For reference, $358 billion is 2.0x NVIDIA’s $184 billion and 2.6x Apple’s $136 billion in TTM NOPAT.

good thing the cost of inference is going down! sure, qwen3.8-27b is already stale and everyone needs to throw another couple hundred million at another training update, but the cost of inference! /s

personally I feel like all this shit is a continuation/outgrowth from the crypto “whitepaper” phenomenon: ~zero substantive engagement with the actual discipline in question, and “work product” (quotes intentional) equal to some claims with a “proof” thrown out as its defense

(it also continues to be part of a cultural and knowledge DDoS, which others have written better on)

thanks for confirming the third worst category of firefox fans

cool fun new totally fine AI use: extortion

seen here

handy tip: all of skeeter is open, and you can bypass the login gate with eg skyview.social

I don’t think you’re wrong on the latter bit - if these were any other shartups (or, at least, pre “AI” shartups), this would be read as a “runway extending move”. mild testament to just how much/completely the current crop of con has shifted the focus used in that world

imo all the “rahrah safety!” noises have been a figleaf to obscure that very inconvenient aspect

I don’t understand why Bill Gates still feels the need to do marketing work

because he’s actively doing works to change the world in specific (negative) ways. look into the history of gates-tied funding in nutrition programs, he’s got a bad-shit-for-humanity track record spanning well past a decade. has “just” had a better PR team than the clowns of vogue

that poster the same person who was stanning shitty ideas in KDE, they’re a walking warning label

I recall seeing bits of this (their racist treatment of black workers in the factories as well as the culture of keeping it going) kick around on twitter as far back as 2019 (iirc), so now I’m wondering - is it not widely known?

hmm, interesting that that made it as far as a news article - shows the concerns around bubble pop are … more prevalent than some would like to admit

I imagine there’s more than a few “we’ve branded ourselves AI because that’s where the money is but oh shit it’s not such a great look now…” companies out there at the moment who are working on how to update their positioning

grammarly, previously featured as a top class act as well known for, uhhhh checks notes, deeply for guzzling the slop juice, has once again decided to feature for attention

the sheer arrogance of it is pretty out there. I sure hope it doesn’t go well for them, otherwise we’ll probably see this shit be added to the slimester playbook more frequently
