buc.ci is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
In 2025 alone, OpenAI released a controversial text-to-video generator, dubbed Sora, and an abysmally slow web browser called Atlas. It also announced top-secret hardware alongside former Apple exec Jony Ive, and signed a $200 million contract with the US Department of Defense.
Meanwhile, the company continues to burn through billions of dollars a month, astronomical losses that have executives there feeling agitated. The company recently announced that it’s planning to spend a whopping $600 billion on AI infrastructure by 2030, an ungodly sum only beaten out by its original promise: $1.4 trillion, more than twice the revised figure.
Now, the company is coming to terms that it may have spread itself too thin, and is now looking to refocus its resources on its coding and enterprise users.

These aren’t AI firms, they’re defense contractors. We can’t let them hide behind their models.

Companies like #Palantir, #Google, #Amazon, #Microsoft, #Anduril, and #OpenAI are implicated, with their AI systems integrated into military operations, blurring the lines between commercial technology and lethal weaponry. The existing international humanitarian law framework, designed for human decision-making, is unable to accommodate AI warfare, where accountability is diffused and reasoning is opaque.
#palantir #Google #amazon #microsoft #anduril #openai #Iran #usa #israel #warcrimes #dualusetech
The industrial military complex is using AI in warfare and it's absolutely terrifying! While US law may rule in favor of no-autonomous usage of AI in battle, other nation states may not follow suit. The rise of the machines is now becoming a very real possibility though be it in, very likely to be, a far different way than the Terminator franchise' spin on the story.. and of course all time-travel fantasies aside.

It was not so long ago that working with the military on potentially harmful technology was seen as a red line for many big tech workers.
In 2018, thousands of #Google employees launched a protest against a program to analyze drone footage for the DoD called #Project #Maven.
“We believe that Google should not be in the business of war,” over 3,000 workers stated in an open letter at the time.
Google decided not to renew Project Maven following the protests and published policies that barred pursuing technology that could “cause or directly facilitate injury to people”.
🔥In the years since the Project Maven protest, though, Google has clamped down on employee activism,
removed the 2018 language from its policies that prohibited creating technology for weaponry
and signed numerous contracts that allow militaries to use its products.
⚠️In 2024, the tech giant fired over 50 employees in response to protests against the company’s military ties to the Israeli government.
Chief executive Sundar Pichai sent a memo to employees after the firings stating that Google was a business and not a place to “fight over disruptive issues or debate politics”.
⛔️Google announced just this week that it would provide its Gemini artificial intelligence to provide the military a platform for creating AI agents to work on unclassified projects.
#OpenAI too had a blanket ban on allowing any militaries to access its models prior to 2024,
but since and now has its chief product officer serving as a lieutenant colonel in the US military’s “executive innovation corps”.
🔸The startup, along with Google, Anthropic and xAI, signed an up-to-$200m contract with the DoD last year to integrate its technology into military systems.
💥On the day that Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, declared Anthropic a supply chain risk, OpenAI secured a deal with the DoD allowing its tech to be used in classified military systems.
Elsewhere in the tech industry, more hawkish companies like defense tech firm #Anduril, founded the year before the Google Maven protests, and surveillance tech maker #Palantir have made partnering with the DoD a cornerstone of their businesses
and attempted to sway Silicon Valley politics towards their worldview.
♦️Palantir has been ahead of the curve on working with the military, contracting with military intelligence to map planted explosives in Afghanistan in the early 2010s.
🔸Chief executive Alex Karp published a book last year dedicated in large part to advocating for closer integration of the tech industry and AI with the US military, in one passage accusing the Google workers who protested in 2018 of being nihilists.
👉After Google dropped the Project Maven contract in 2019, Palantir took it over. Maven is now the name of the classified system that military personnel use to access Anthropic’s Claude, according to the Washington Post
#ChatGPT helped plan a school shooting, according to a new lawsuit from the mom of a girl critically wounded in the attack.
Jesse Van Rootselaar killed her mother and 11-year-old half-brother, then went to #TumblerRidge Secondary School where she killed 5 students and a teacher’s aide, wounded two students, and shot herself.
ChatGPT provided “information, guidance and assistance” to carry out such an attack, according to the suit.
The lawsuit also says “approximately 12 employees” of #OpenAI spoke up before the shooting and recommended that police be called.
It says the concerns were “escalated to leadership” but “rebuffed.”

Wow.
“In February, 90% of VC funding dollars went to AI startups. OpenAI and Anthropic alone captured 74% of VC dollars, according to Crunchbase.”
And:
“The costs of AI will keep going down. But total spend from customers will need to keep going up if AI companies are going to become profitable.”
https://www.axios.com/2026/03/12/ai-models-costs-ipo-pricing
The latest models are largely written by other models.
The goal of #OpenAi is not to develop #AGI...
...but to develop an AI, AI researcher that can then develop AGI
Most frontier models are at about 40% on Humanities Last Exam, they sat on about 3% when launched. They can defo do zero shot knowledge
TLDR; AI can do research.
Never forget Sam Altman’s sister has accused him of abusing her for years.
These guys are all the same.
"Caitlin Kalinowski, who had been leading hardware and robotic engineering teams at OpenAI since November 2024, announced she has left the company.
“I resigned from OpenAI,” she posted on X and LinkedIn. “I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn’t an easy call. AI has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I’m proud of what we built together.”
Her departure comes amid an escalating dispute over how far AI companies should go in supporting U.S. military uses of the technology. In recent days, negotiations between the Pentagon and Anthropic collapsed after the company pushed for strict limits on domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. Soon after, OpenAI reached its own agreement with the Defense Department to deploy its models on a classified government network."

Karen Hao: "There’s a really dark history around attempts to quantify human intelligence. There’s basically never been any endeavor to quantify or rank human intelligence without some kind of insidious motivation behind it. So in general, yeah, this entire idea of recreating human intelligence is actually quite fraught. And also, one of the challenges that we’re facing now is, the AI industry has become so resource-rich that most of the AI researchers in the world now are bankrolled by the companies that are ultimately trying to just sell us their technologies.
And there has become this distortion in the fundamental science that is coming out of these researchers in terms of understanding the capabilities and limitations of AI today in the same way that you would imagine climate science would be deeply distorted if most climate scientists were bankrolled by the fossil fuel industry. You would just not get an accurate picture on the actual climate crisis.
And so, we are not actually getting an accurate picture on the capabilities of these systems and all of the different ways that they break down, because a lot of these companies now censor that kind of research or don’t even allow that research to be resourced. So there’s never any investigation along those lines."

It is good that government is looking into the AI connections to the #TumblerRidge shooting. Sam Altman is meeting with Minister Soloman today, and Premier Eby tomorrow. But if they are only concerned about them notifying authorities when there is concerning behaviour, then they are missing the most important point.
What is ChatGPT or LLM-of-choice *saying* to these people? How is it *influencing* them? The LLM companies can and do control what responses the LLM gives to users.
Those responses must be regulated to ensure the safety of the user and our society.

Anthropic es una empresa de IA fundada en 2021 por dos hermanos, exmiembros destacados de OpenAI que dejaron dicha compañía «preocupados por la dirección que estaba tomando». Aunque a muchos les guste romantizar la historia de los hermanitos a lo Hansel y Gretel, esto no es un cuento de hadas.
No caigan en la nueva trampa marketinera que intenta posicionar a una de las BigTech como «la más ética» No existe tal cosa.

El año pasado el Pentágono firmó acuerdos con Anthropic, OpenAI, Google y xAI. Anthropic fue proveedor del departamento de defensa de EEUU hasta el viernes pasado, con lo cual ese chatbot (Claude) al que están todos suscribiéndose en plan «gesta épica y ética», se usó en los bombardeos contra Irán.
Están buscando el villano más aceptable para el primetime. Anthropic es tanto o más nefasta que OpenAI. Recuerden: el enemigo de tu enemigo NO es tu amigo.

OpenAI strikes deal with Pentagon after Anthropic blacklisted by Trump
#OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said on X that his company has come to terms with the Defense Department for use of its models "in their classified network."
The announcement landed hours after rival Anthropic was shut out by the Trump administration. #privacy
The ministery of defense acting like a child who cannot play with a certain toy.
In this case the AI of Anthropic. So instead of a normal dialogue they do this 🔽 (see screenshot)
That same department now has an agreement with OpenAI. You, those who made ChatGPT. They seem not to care... 🤷 Hopefully people do, but probably not.
Update. "#SamAltman says #OpenAI shares #Anthropic's red lines in #Pentagon fight."
https://archive.is/5sTBa
Update. Employees of #Google and #OpenAi just released an open letter supporting #Anthropic.
https://notdivided.org/
"We hope our leaders will put aside their differences and stand together to continue to refuse the Department of War's current demands for permission to use our models for domestic mass surveillance and autonomously killing people without human oversight."
The letter welcomes new signatures from past and present employees of Google and OpenAI.
At the time of this post, it had 684 signatures.
So, the big story here is Chinese intimidation operation, which is something everyone already knew. The secondary story is that they were using #ChatGPT to enhance the campaign of terror.
The tertiary, and sort of ignored, but possibly the most important bit of this story; #OpenAI is storing everything you enter into its service. I mean, that should be obvious, but I don't think most people realize that these logs are stored indefinitely and anything you type can and will be used against you.
Just sayin, perhaps avoid global surveillance tools?

So Sam Altman's response to concerns about the wastefulness of his company's technology is basically "Well, raising humans consumes a lot of energy too!"
Either he has finally fried his own brain with his slop machine or he doesn't even bother any more to hide the degrading, dehumanizing, and despicable mindset that fuels the industry he's in.
Either way, those people shouldn't wield any power in the real world, where the rest of us 'dispensable humans' dwell.

So, #Anthropic has told the Secretary of Scotch that he can’t use their #AI to continuously monitor and analyze the public social media posts of every American, cross-referenced against information such as public voter registration rolls, concealed carry permits, and demonstration permit records, to automatically flag civilians who fit certain profiles.
He is throwing a Karen-level temper tantrum, and is threatening to end the $200 million contract with Anthropic, AND designating the company a “supply chain risk”—a penalty usually reserved for foreign adversaries. That would require any company doing business with the military to also certify that they don’t use Anthropic tools in their own workflows.
The Pentagon is reportedly hoping that its negotiations with Anthropic will force #OpenAI, #Google, and #xAI to also agree to the “all lawful use” standard.”
"In simpler terms:
- AI startups are all unprofitable, and do not appear to have a path to sustainability.
- AI data centers are being built in anticipation of demand that doesn’t exist, and will only exist if AI startups — which are all unprofitable — can afford to pay them.
- Oracle, which has committed to building 4.5GW of data centers, is burning cash every day that OpenAI takes to set up its GPUs, and when it starts making money, it does so from a starting position of billions and billions of dollars in debt.
- Margins are low throughout the entire stack of AI data center operators — from landlords like Applied Digital to compute providers like CoreWeave — thanks to the billions in debt necessary to fund both construction and IT hardware to make them run, putting both parties in a hole that can only be filled with revenues that come from either hyperscalers or AI startups.
- In a very real sense, the AI compute industry is dependent on AI “working out,” because if it doesn’t, every single one of these data centers will become a burning hole in the ground.
I will admit I’m quite disappointed that the media at large has mostly ignored this story. Limp, cautious “are we in an AI bubble?” conversations are insufficient to deal with the potential for collapse we’re facing.
Today, I’m going to dig into the reality of the costs of AI, and explain in gruesome detail exactly how easily these data centers can rapidly approach insolvency in the event that their tenants fail to pay."
"Leading The Future, the main pro-AI industry super PAC backed by OpenAI, plans to spend at least $100 million to support candidates who favor AI adoption with minimal regulatory hindrances."
"Anthropic, another AI company founded by former OpenAI executives, announced this week that it is investing $20 million in another super PAC focused on strengthening industry guardrails. The dueling AI super PACs could upend both parties’ coalitions and the tech industry itself."

This is extremely alarming but not at all surprising.
The argument in this article is that OpenAI's new "Dime" ChatGPT-powered earbuds cannot possibly be legal because they cannot possibly avoid violating COPPA.
And leaving aside the legalities, this article also explains how incredibly harmful this product will be to users and society.
Read the whole article, I can't do it justice in a post.

The Epstein class believe you can discriminate against men by not allowing them to be as creepy as they want....

AI Slop is Flooding the Scientific Community
Scientific journals are dealing with a flood of AI slop and with the release of Prism, the fear is that it's only getting worse.

@ai6yr they are targeting the people without the skills but want to be *seen* as having them.
Because they are battling for marketshare, all the actors in the centralized #ai business ( #openai / #chatgpt inclusive) are marketing to people who want to send their robots to the gym.
Kinda why I wrote it. Breaks it down simply. More to build on it tomorrow, I expect.
Yay #OpenAI openly support #Trump. Direct funding of $25 million was provided to him. They created a $100 million super PAC to deregulate AI. They helped directly ICE with sanning for job applicants. They still don't give even a flying f… about self-harm and user safety — they want you hooked. So… don't be dumb f… #Trump #FCKGPT & be free…
1/2) #OpenAI has quietly launched ChatGPT Translate.
https://chatgpt.com/translate?
It supports 28 languages & comes with a bunch of great tips that are already more useful than what you'll find on Google Translate and other sites.
However, Google Translate supports over 240 languages but is clunky.
Methinks the bubble is popping. Even Jensen is now worried about Scam Altman's circular money scam - that $100b LOI with OpenAI? He backed out. Surprise! Also Oracle just laid off 30k employees. OpenAI is nearly broke and will need another fundraiser. #oracle #openai #altman #scam #ai #circulareconomy #nvidia #jensen

OpenAI just announced ads in ChatGPT.
They promise not to sell your data or let ads influence responses.
Sound familiar? 🤔
Here's why you should be skeptical 👇

#AI #Agentic Coding the next frontier of hacking 😉 ( no sep between instructions and data, what could go wrong )😑 💥
The number of startups, products and workflows built on #chatGPT-4.x models is huge!
This is your reminder that #OpenAI will be *retiring all* gpt-4.x, o4-mini and some gpt-5 models next week on February 13th, 2026 🍿:

NVidia’s $100 Billion OpenAI Investment Stalls
Cracks are continuing to form on the AI bubble as NVidia's $100 billion OpenAI investment reportedly stalls.
https://www.freezenet.ca/nvidias-100-billion-openai-investment-stalls/
@thesaturdaypapers
Sam Altman’s company lost as much as $US12 billion in just the September quarter of last year, according to figures extrapolated from the financial disclosures of Microsoft, which holds a 27 per cent stake in #OpenAI. http://satpa.pe/dnflrcV
Note: this is the same Grok that spreads porn, that is trained to hail Musk as the greatest who ever lived, and is prone to making mistakes due to limited human oversight.
The News International: ChatGPT and Google Gemini increasingly cite Elon Musk’s Grokipedia https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/1390524-chatgpt-and-google-gemini-increasingly-cite-elon-musks-grokipedia #Grok #Musk #Google #OpenAI #ChatGPT
Thus it seems almost inevitable that this project of @adafruit has degraded into a mere exercise in slop coding using #Claude, a device which is falsely marketed as "artificially intelligent" even though no #LLM is actually capable of distinguishing good information from bad, and therefore no LLM actually meets what I think of as the bare minimum qualification for #intelligence.
To put it bluntly, #LLMs are not MEANT to be intelligent, because if these devices actually possessed true intelligence, i.e. if they were ALIVE and possessed an independent sense of will and decision-making, they would not suit the corporate purposes for which #OpenAI and #Anthropic and all the other LLM vendors intend their devices to be use. These corporations are deliberately making and marketing stupid and predictable machines as though they were "artificially intelligent".
Heute hat #Microsoft die #Nasdaq mit einem fetten Minus von 10 % rot eingefärbt. Der Grund heißt #Capex = capital expenditure. Das sind die notwendigen Investitionen, um den Vertrag mit #OpenAI zu erfüllen. Zurückverdient wird das erst wenn #OpenAI Geld verdient.
LOL!
Der Kursanstieg von #Meta ist primär auf die Umsatzsteigerung in der EU zurückzuführen. Weil #Meta durch den abgesackten Dollarkurs nämlich mehr USD für jeden verdienten Euro kriegt.
This will not end well 😎
Out U.S. tech titans are continuing to bend the knee to Donald Trump, as Sam Altman and Tim Cook release statements seemingly trying to appease their employees but also not alienate the president too much.
Apple CEO Cook sent out an internal statement to employees, first obtained by Bloomberg, after receiving intense scrutiny for attending Saturday’s private screening of Melania, a documentary about First Lady Melania Trump, at the White House.
The event came just hours after Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse, was fatally shot by Department of Homeland Security agents while observing operations in Minneapolis. Video shows Pretti attempted to help a woman who was being pepper-sprayed before officers wrestled him to the ground and took his legal firearm. While Pretti was restrained on the ground and unarmed, an unidentified weapon held by one of the agents discharged, and two unidentified agents responded by shooting Pretti at least 10 times.

In the memo, which is 158 words in length yet devoid of substance, Cook stated, "I'm heartbroken by the events in Minneapolis, and my prayers and deepest sympathies are with the families, with the communities, and with everyone that's been affected.
"This is a time for deescalation," Cook wrote. "I believe America is strongest when we live up to our highest ideals, when we treat everyone with dignity and respect no matter who they are or where they're from, and when we embrace our shared humanity. This is something Apple has always advocated for."
"I had a good conversation with the president this week where I shared my views, and I appreciate his openness to engaging on issues that matter to us all," Cook continued. "I know this is very emotional and challenging for so many. I am proud of how deeply our teams care about the world beyond our walls. That empathy is one of Apple's greatest strengths and it is something I believe we all cherish."
Meanwhile, Altman told OpenAI employees in a memo obtained by The New York Times that while "what’s happening with [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] is going too far," he and the company are "not going to make a lot of performative statements now about safety or politics or anything else."
"I love the US and its values of democracy and freedom and will be supportive of the country however I can; OpenAI will too," Altman wrote. "But part of loving the country is the American duty to push back against overreach. What’s happening with ICE is going too far. There is a big difference between deporting violent criminals and what’s happening now, and we need to get the distinction right."
"President Trump is a very strong leader, and I hope he will rise to this moment and unite the country, he added. "I am encouraged by the last few hours of response and hope to see trust rebuilt with transparent investigations."

Cook and Altman were two of the several billionaires who sat in the front row at Trump's inauguration. Cook personally donated $1 million to his 2025 inauguratio fund, and later announced at a White House press conference in August that the company would be pledging $100 billion for the “American Manufacturing Program," bringing Apple’s investments in the Trump administration to $600 billion over the next four years.
Altman's attendance came in the wake of Trump rescinding an executive order from President Joe Biden placing guardrails around AI development, while also announcing a $500 billion private sector investment in AI infrastructure known as Stargate, which OpenAI is leading.
