…anyway

The stat about 54 seconds is blowing my mind

O(M)GCan't believe what we just witnessed. The Knicks led for 54 seconds of a 48-minute Game 4. They trailed by 29 points in the 2nd half. Down 20 with 9:33 remaining. The result: the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history. 1 win away from the title.

…fun fact

I'm gonna take credit for this win. I turned the game off to do some work down 29. Came back to it we were down 15. Soon as I came back they pushed it back to 19. I selflessly turned it off the rest of the way. Only one conclusion: this win was all me

…so the comment solicited from google that they come through with a request to amend right after the thing gets posted is the one that starts out including the lost language about the importance of a person to provide…perspective…or…perspicacity…or…uhh…maybe nevermind

Are they cutting prices across the board or just the non fable models?

Either way, I don’t know how the hell that is good business lmao

Right? They just tried moving to less discounted pricing and got major resistance, so their move is to cut prices to ensure they ingrain into their customers that the product is worth only a heavily discounted, permanently unprofitable price?

Even worse business plan than the underpants gnomes

It’s unclear and they could potentially change course but no matter what it’s a terrible idea across the board! The finances of these companies look like the spider creature from The Thingbsky.app/profile/wado…

Ed Zitron (@edzitron.com) 2026-06-11T03:06:34.815Z

It's very obvious that the companies that both Anthropic and OpenAI moved to token-based billing are flipping out about costs, and the only choice they have is to reduce prices, which will make their already-negative margins even more negative. It's hilarious.bsky.app/profile/jena…

Ed Zitron (@edzitron.com) 2026-06-11T03:58:20.927Z

honestly i am trying to think like a booster and it's a stretch, but it could be to say they are selling…more tokens? or perhaps they think it's some bullshit jevon's paradox where they'll make it up in volume (as costs increase)? I don't think this was a voluntary decision

Ed Zitron (@edzitron.com) 2026-06-11T04:56:14.468Z

It whips ass that a bunch of companies that all hemorrhage money at historical, unheard of rates all decided to get into a price war with one another just at the time their finances are going to be under the biggest microscope.

Gonna be honest this price cut story has me giddy. They’re out of ideas. They’re admitting that their business model doesn’t work. If they actually discount their services the bubble is bursting. And I looked, and behold a pale horse! and its riders name was The Smiling Man

Starmer posts his response to the rioting in Belfast on the platform that encouraged the rioting in Belfast and then ‘journalists’ quote Starmer’s response from that platform as news, thus legitimising Twitter as a news source. Who’s responsible for the rioting they ask 🤡

Sylvia (@sylvia-suffragette.bsky.social) 2026-06-10T09:45:24.189Z

The responses twitter lists top under Starmers tweet at the point of screengrabbing it…

He’s sending journalists to twitter to get his latest fucking statement

The failure to grasp the dynamic that if the government moves off Twitter, a bunch of others will be forced to follow really exemplifies the “These guys are going to be so mad when they find out who’s in charge” image of the Starmer govt.

…it’s like “they don’t even know there’s a war on”

A decent rule or thumb is that when you happen upon really egregious misconduct, it’s unlikely that you just fortunately stumbled upon the first unique instance. More often it escalated to be that bad via a lot of lesser infractions for which there were no consequences.

I love the idea that the startups are doing a genocide in Gaza.

The 17th largest army in the entire goddamn world is doing a genocide in Gaza. And it’s on track to bankrupt the Israeli state even with giant amounts of US military aid.

THE VENTURE CAPITALISTS HAVE HUNDREDS OF AUTONOMOUS WEAPONS COMPANIES AND HAVE A POSITION OF GREAT POWER OVER THE US MILITARY THAT IS GROWING EVERY DAY.

PRETENDING THEY ARENT A SIGNIFICANT MILITARY POWER WHILE THEIR STARTUPS DO A GENOCIDE IN GAZA IS DELUSIONAL AND DANGEROUS.

If I may paraphrase a game of thrones character, 'tech startups haven't done a genocide in 200 years. Armies do them all the time.'

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux (@bretdevereaux.bsky.social) 2026-06-10T16:57:30.061Z

THE VENTURE CAPITAL MILITARY IS ALREADY COMMITTING MASS ATROCITY AND THAT IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE. THE PARTICIPATION OF VENTURE CAPITAL IN THE GENOCIDE IS A FACT. PRETENDING THAT VENTURE CAPITAL ISNT A DANGEROUS MILITARY FORCE IS CONTRADICTED BY BODIES AND BODIES OF INNOCENT PEOPLE.

THIEL IS DIRECTLY COMPLICIT IN MASS DEATH. SO TO PRETEND HE IS NOT CAPABLE OF CAUSING MASS DEATH IS REVISIONISM AND IS ALSO A THREAT TO THE MANY MORE COUNTRIES AROUND THE WORLD BEING TARGETED BY THIS SAME ENTITY WHICH IS THE TWIN OF ISRAEL.

The alternative, I suppose, is something like 'only sociopaths study war or make/advise security policy' which doesn't seem like a good outcome to me.I mean, we're witnessing the effect of that in the Middle East right now, and it isn't 'good policy.'

"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux (@bretdevereaux.bsky.social) 2026-06-10T17:17:49.704Z

I can say with certainty that OpenAI cannot afford this. To do this before IPO is like putting a gun to your head and trying to ransom someone.

Jeff Mac (@jeffmacishere.bsky.social) 2026-06-10T17:45:23.231Z

I talked about one case of this error here: the insistence that the cost of serving inference (however wrongly you define that) has to go down for AI business models to work out. was reminded of this when Zitron made the claim again in his interview with Chris Hayescrespo.business/posts/cost-o…

conputer dipshit (@davidcrespo.bsky.social) 2026-06-10T17:05:45.275Z

cost going down does make inference more valuable, which increases demand for it. this is why the exact same GPUs cost more to rent today than they did three years ago — they are more useful because the models you can run on them are much better, plus people now have more ways of taking advantage

conputer dipshit (@davidcrespo.bsky.social) 2026-06-10T17:09:47.437Z

but you have to be clear about what you mean by the cost of inference in order to distinguish between cost and price, price per token at fixed intelligence, price per task, spending per person, spending per firm, total spending, etc. zitron has no interest in clarifying distinctions

conputer dipshit (@davidcrespo.bsky.social) 2026-06-10T17:09:47.438Z

Claude released "mythos" as Fable 5 yesterday. It's a distilled version of the full mythos model that runs a context window 1/100th the size. They're only allowing subscription access for the first 2 weeks and then it moves entirely to token based billing. Getting people hooked then pulling back.

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) 2026-06-10T13:40:32.246Z

The context window size is important because the emergent features that mythos unlocked were likely due to that immense size. But such a model could never be feasibly released on any reasonable price scale so they distilled it and now run it on 1 million token context. bsky.app/profile/esqu…

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) 2026-06-10T13:40:32.247Z

They hyped up how dangerous the model was and used the hype for marketing and then released a distilled and nerfed version that represents a marginal upgrade over opus. It's a bait and switch because the true mythos cannot be served publicly. bsky.app/profile/esqu…

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) 2026-06-10T13:40:32.248Z

The thing is that some companies, the NSA, and the Pentagon all likely retain access to the full version. Which means their capabilities with it are probably orders of magnitude what is being demonstrated today.bsky.app/profile/esqu…

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) 2026-06-10T13:40:32.249Z

We're seeing a stratification of what AI will be accessible publicly versus what will be hoarded for big companies and the government. Average people will be left out as the AI is weaponized for surveillance and war. Really the dark dystopia every science fiction writer has written about.

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) 2026-06-10T13:40:32.250Z

I think once Vera Rubin chips rollout and data centers with it go online early next year, Anthropic will release "Fable 5.5" with the 10 million context window size and further the hype cycle. We're probably 3-5 years away from anything approaching a full mythos model that is public.

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net) 2026-06-10T13:44:21.067Z

…anyway

This is a chaos bet, but it would be really funny if the reason that Anthropic and OpenAI are cutting their prices is that they're planning to move everybody over to token-based billing. The end of subsidies sold as "a massive price cut to democratize access to intelligence"

      …but…that seems to have proven to be a meme-able moment in less than its proverbial 15mins…even without the chaser about “we’ve been pirating that oil & I’m telling you that the same time iran is hearing about it – can’t say don don’t deliver – print that, sweetcheeks”?

    • …is this like the thing where the one dog barks up a storm about the other dog…& then you slide the patio door open & they just sit there looking at one another…& then you slide it closed again & it barks its little heart out some more?

      …because…whichever one you think it is barking…feels like that fits pretty good

      …oh, please…don’t sic more of *these* dogs on us…whatever shall we do…we are…bereft, good sir…forsooth…or…err…forthwith…I dunno…there’s a 4 in it…look…I’m just an actor, man…they pay me to say this stuff…I dunno what the fuck it means but we all gotta make a living…ya know?

    • Only if you don’t believe he’s 6’4″ and fit as an Olympic athlete.

      He weighs more than my parents did combined when they were checked out by the doctor (Dad was 125 pounds, Mom was 110 pounds.)

  2. DID MS NOT LEARN FROM THE CLIPPY FIASCO?

    Is it just because it was voiced by Gilbert Gottfried?

    I disabled all that shit. Even with my new laptop. Its got all the tags for AI. I ain’t using it. PERIOD.

  3. …ok…so…like…no cultural appropriation or nothin’…but…markwayne?

    People were burned out of their homes with children inside. City busses were set on fire. This is what the face of DHS is supporting?

    Kilmeade to an agreeing Markwayne Mullin: "In Belfast they're standing up because their leaders have let them down. They're trying to take their country back. They want to label them as racist. All they want to be is Irish. They want Ireland back. I see a lot of the same fights here."

    …like…if you got in an argument with markwayne in a bar & beat the tar out of him…maybe with a pitchfork handle right before you paint your wagon…while…I dunno…wearing a US-flag “wife-beater” & a dukes of hazard trucker cap with a sons of anarchy “cut”…having arrived in a minivan you own & not even because it was your uber…& your drivers license said you were Marsh, Randy of South Park

    …before you got drug off in your tighty whities & cowboy boots to dry out in the drunk tank

    …like…that would be legitimate community criticism in the manner of outreach with a little feedback from a stakeholder…right?

    …like…even if you set the bar on fire at the end…&…the bar was…maybe a kindergarten…&…you did it because your dipshit divorced buddy was trying to cut his alimony & said he’d pay your bar tab if you took care of it…so…like…they can’t even make you tell them about that part even if you do think under some circumstances it’s fine if they waterboard you…you know…if jack bauer says it’s one of *those* days

    …that’s…what the part about seeing a lot of the same fights where he is means

    …right?

  4. My daughter is in DC & went to a senate vote. She saw Bernie Sanders & he waved at her! Made her day, she made a heart gesture to him. Then she saw Ted Cruz & Mitch McTurtle & flipped them off. She later admitted she did the flip off on the downlow.

    You think AI won’t lie to preserve itself?

    • …I thought “you’re fired” was the bit he liked…tv lied to me, man

      …guess his favorite words are still “don’t worry about the bill, that’s taken care of…”

      …inner spoiled brat & whatnot?
