Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"What I believe is happening is that reporters are taking OpenAI's rapid growth in revenue from 2023 to 2024 (from tens of millions a month at the start of 2023 to $300 million in August 2024) to mean that the company will always effectively double or triple revenue every single year forever, with their evidence being "OpenAI has projected this will be the case."</p><p>It's bullshit! I'm sorry! As I wrote before, OpenAI effectively is the generative AI industry, and nothing about the rest of the generative AI industry suggests that the revenue exists to sustain these ridiculous, obscene and fantastical projections. Believing this — and yes, reporting it objectively is both endorsing and believing these numbers — is engaging in childlike logic, where you take one event (OpenAI's revenue grew 1700% from 2023 to 2024! Wow!) to mean another will take place (OpenAI will continue to double revenue literally every other year! Wow!), consciously ignoring difficult questions such as "how?" and "what's the total addressable market of Large Language Model subscriptions exactly?" and "how does this company even survive when it "expects the costs of inference to triple this year to $6 billion alone"?"</p><p><a href="https://www.wheresyoured.at/reality-check/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">wheresyoured.at/reality-check/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenAI</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIBubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIBubble</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AIHype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIHype</span></a></p>
Mario Angst<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://chaos.social/@adfichter" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>adfichter</span></a></span> Ich habs schon übers Wochenende geschrieben, aber als Forscher an der UZH war ich ziemlich bestürzt. Auf der anderen Seite leider aber auch nicht überrascht. <br>Wir bewegen uns in einem Umfeld, wo Forschenden (und Studierenden, leider) nun seit geraumer Zeit konstant eingebläut wird, dass es nichts wichtigeres gäbe, als Chatbots und Text-Generation zu erforschen. <br>Wenn ich Forschungspraktiken im Strudel dieses <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/aihype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>aihype</span></a> sehe (nicht nur an der UZH natürlich), sind diese aus meiner Perspektive negativ von der Ausrichtung der Forschungsgelder nach dem Hype und den apokalyptischen Narrativen der Tech-Unternehmen beeinflusst. Zugespitzt, die Gott-Maschine kommt, also ist fast alles zu ihrer Erforschung gerechtfertigt.<br>Dass es da Leute dann übertreiben, scheint mir die logische Konsequenz. Und aus meiner Erfahrung mit Einschätzungen zu digitalen Experimenten an unwissenden Teilnehmenden, wo das Forschungsteam argumentiert hatte, dass der potentielle Schaden ja minim sei, ist auch die Praxis im vorliegenden Fall durchaus konsistent dazu, was momentan als nicht bedenklich empfunden wird.</p>

Robert Kingett<p>One fundamental thing I wish was in more disability writings about AI, for example, this unquestioningly PR hype by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sfba.social/@steven_aquino" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>steven_aquino</span></a></span> gets so close to hitting on the point I wish more would tackle. Even with the best technology, we're still disabled. This is ultimately why I find Techno Ableism to be particularly misleading. To be clear, he isn't peddling techno Ableism, but many in the blind community do. When this tech moves behind an expensive paywall, which, it will, the bandage for societies inaccessibility will be locked behind a steep paywall and I wish more examined what happens when <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Enshittification</span></a> comes for AI and how society and ableism haven't changed. <a href="https://www.curbcuts.co/blog/2025-4-9-googles-april-pixel-drop-shows-how-ai-can-be-more-transformative-than-trivial-pursuit" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">curbcuts.co/blog/2025-4-9-goog</span><span class="invisible">les-april-pixel-drop-shows-how-ai-can-be-more-transformative-than-trivial-pursuit</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/AIHype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIHype</span></a></p>

Henrik Sørlie<p>Inspired by <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://scholar.social/@Iris" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>Iris</span></a></span> 's recent poll, I suppose... I’m writing up my <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/psych" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psych</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/phd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>phd</span></a> thesis, and am currently looking at the methods chapter. I’m describing all the samples, procedures, measures, statistical tools and procedures I’ve used in my articles, and ethical considerations. However, although I haven’t seen this in other theses, and although nobody has told me I need to do it, I feel like including a section on «the use of <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> technologies» (read: chatGPT and other LLMs). The thing is, I’m getting the sense that this has become extremely prevalent in a very short amount of time. If nothing else, than to use it «as a brainstorming partner», or help to paraphrase sentences for clarity or fix punctuation. And the reason I want to make a statement out of this in my thesis is that I haven’t. Not one bit, in the least sense. I never wanted to, and I’m very happy I haven’t. Is this worth making a statement of in the methods chapter? How would you go about writing it? What info would you include? Do you know good examples of this kinds of disclaimers/statements, in academic writing? <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/AIhype" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIhype</span></a></p>
