AI fails

Particularly with so few "players" competing (retail). And whilst they might not do "price fixing" they will base their pricing on what their competitor sets so flavour of the week will be marginally more, new version and roles will swap with pricing increase.

I don't use them but my impression is that it's only really OpenAI and Anthropic. Google/Alphabet seem to be search focused, XAI and Facebook seem very 2nd rate and only really to encourage users to their Social Media. So not much competition with just the 2 main offerings.

IMO, any potential competition will simply be bought out.
Also, see Zwift. 😉

I wonder how long it will be before the cost of perpetually fighting a running battle with hackers exceeds the productivity benefits gained by using computers in the first place.

There are another seven countries all across Europe that have had their freezers attacked today, and reports that six US military bases had their freezers attacked a few days ago.

True.
Unfortunate, but true.

UK’s most polluting power plant could power country’s largest AI datacentre​

Drax’s FTSE 250 owner strikes £20bn deal to build infrastructure in what it says is site’s ‘next chapter’
...
The largest power plant in the UK produces almost 5% of the country’s electricity by burning woody biomass pellets, making the site the single largest emitter of carbon dioxide, according to analysts.

I can't help but wonder when politicians will realise that AI is irrelevant when the planet is no longer habitable by humans. Maybe not until it's too late.

But seems little "Intelligence" around "Artificial Intelligence".

Coincidentally finally got round to watching the final Mission Impossible film. Would appear that the makers had some fears about AI and that was written in 2024.
