The Update on GPT5 Reminds Us, Again & the Hard Way, the Risks of Using Closed AI

Many users feel, very strongly, disrespected by the recent changes, and rightly so. Even if OpenAI's rationale is user safety or avoiding lawsuits, the fact remains: what people purchased has now been silently replaced with an inferior version, without notice or consent. And OpenAI, as well as other closed AI providers, can take a step further next time if they want. Imagine asking their models to check the grammar of a post criticizing them, only to have your words subtly altered to soften the message. Closed AI Giants tilt the power balance heavily when so many users and firms are reliant on & deeply integrated with them. This is especially true for individuals and SMEs, who have limited negotiating power. For you, Open Source AI is worth serious consideration. Below you have a...

How will AI startups survive the next few years?

I keep seeing AI startups run by independent devs all the time. So many new ones. They are asking for tens of thousands to have an AI agent or bot do 90% of everything. You talk via voice to a bot, a bot does all the work... No employees. How will these work and survive? Seems like they're a dime a dozen? submitted by /u/datascientist933633 [link] [comments]

I can’t stop thinking about how AI and billionaires are draining us dry

I just need to get this off my chest. Everyone talks about AI like it’s magic, but all I see is water, power, and land getting eaten up. These “data centers” are basically digital factories — they run 24/7, sucking up the same grid and water supply that regular people depend on. Our bills go up, and we’re told it’s progress. Farmers? They didn’t quit. They planted, harvested, and got crushed by tariffs. Crops sat unsold, land got cheap, and billionaires swooped in to buy it. And now they own not just the land, but the future food supply. It feels like no matter how hard regular people work, we’re paying the bill for someone else’s empire. And the politicians we’re supposed to trust? They’re busy pointing fingers left and right while the middle gets squeezed from both ends. I don’t know wha...

AI didn’t change the game it just exposed the rule we’ve been playing by all along

Here's what nobody wants to say out loud: Truth has always lost to speed. Not because people are dumb. Because meaning takes time and momentum takes seconds. A rumor moves faster than a correction. A shaky video shapes markets while the fact-check sits in a Google Doc nobody reads. The joke with perfect timing beats the insight that arrives one day late. We've been living under this rule forever. We just pretended we weren't.Then AI showed up. Not to replace us. To scale the one thing we were already doing: generating content that moves rather than content that matters. Every generated post. Every AI reply. Every synthetic image. All of it optimized for one thing: spread. Not truth. Not depth. Spread. You know what's wild? We're not even mad about it. We're asking AI to write our tweets, g...
