Betting on AI: The Delusion Driving Big Tech - Last Week in AWS Podcast

Big Tech is racing to build a sentient god out of duct tape and venture capital, and I'm told I'm the alarmist.

So I sat down with @edzitron.com to talk about the hype, the bullshit, and the trillion-dollar delusions behind AI.

Enjoyed this conversation with Ed. Take a look!

One element of the political policing intimidation attempt is over. We played a historic set at Glastonbury. Whole area closed an hour before due to crowds. A celebration of love and solidarity. A sea of good people at the world's most famous festival. Shortly afterwards we learn of an active police investigation. An investigation that followed after the Prime Minister himself said it "was not appropriate" we played Glastonbury. Walk off stage to the rapturous sounds of good people and into the creaking scheming sounds of the establishment.

This "investigation" was reported across the world's media often with wildly misleading headlines. Every single person who saw our set knew no law was broken, not even close....yet the police saw fit to publicly announce they were opening an investigation. Why open and publicise an investigation into fuck all? This is political. This is targetted. This is state intimidation.

After the media damage is inflicted and seen by millions of eyes - you receive a private email to say there's no evidence and no action - that is seen by two people only. There is no public apology, they don't send this to media or post it on police accounts. We will continue to fight. We will continue to win.

Email from Avon and Somerset Police to Kneecap legal team: "I am Senior Investigating Officer for Avon and Somerset Police's investigation into Kneecap's performance at the Glastonbury Festival on 28th June 2025. Following a review of the evidence, I have determined there will be no further action. I would be grateful if you could communicate this to your clients, and/or advise me of an alternative way if contacting them. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. Regards, Detective Superintendent [Name redacted]"

Windows Is Finally Using My PC’s AI Processor. It's Bad. The Monkey's Paw curls and my Copilot+ PC's NPU is finally being used for something with Windows Semantic Search. Then I disable it. Permanently.

A recent Windows update replaced the deterministic search on my Copilot+ laptop with an AI powered one. It sucked, so I figured out how to turn it off

Permanently.

For real, I couldn’t get it to turn back on to take screenshots even.

but the winters my dude. Your Italian butt will die in MN windchill

Listening to @404media.co and @caseyjohnston.bsky.social podcast while squatting 200lbs for the first time ever. Lifting can if not change than improve your life!

You are pathetic and illiterate. The idea people wouldn't have pursued innovating computers or mass marketed them unless they could become billionaires is absurd.

An email from Briana Wu, dated May 3, 2014 (about 3 months before the start of GamerGate) 11:39 ... Drinking the Mountain Dew B Brianna Wu May 3, 2014 to zoe v •.• Hey Zoe, You I hope this will stay between us. But, I did want to share something with you. The first time I really heard about you, and Depression Quest, a mutual gamede friend of ours in Boston was complaining about Depression Quest. They had counseled you to take the money from big pharma. They were talking all kinds of shit about how shortsighted it was of you to not do this - but you'd stood your ground and said no. They thought you were a total fool. I didn't know about your reality show, but I did read about the aftermath. And what really impressed me about the situation was you did the exact same thing. A situation was anathema for you, and you said no. You were willing to burn your bridges with an entire production company over the situation. You and I are similar people in that we really care about women in games and calling out the sexism in the industry. But, the truth is - I'm a pragmatist. And, if I were being embarrassingly honest with you, I probably would have taken the money from big pharma. And, I would have drank the Mountain Dew on camera. But, here you are today, and you're doing just fine.

But, here you are today, and you're doing just fine. You stood your ground, you made your choices and you still won. There's been a situation at GSK that's been really bad for us and bad for the company. And, I can't go into it just like you can't go into the reality show stuff - but I can tell you, I drank the Mountain Dew on camera for far too long. I have dealt with a really awful, humiliating situation for far too long. It finally ended this week. I don't know you that well, but - I have been thinking about your integrity a lot lately, and how going forward I need to be less of a pragmatist and more of a Zoe Quinn in leading my company. I want to let you know - that's something I really intend to follow through on. I hope that doesn't seem emo, but it is true. And, I think when other women in the industry inspire us, l think we should let them know it. All the best, Bri VIEW ENTIRE MESSAGE + Reply → Forward

Yknow what? I’ve been sitting on this for a decade because I’m not into punching laterally but I AM FINE with punching far right lunatics.

Just a handful of short weeks before GamerGate started, Briana Wu, who I spoke to 0 times before this, sends me this *wild* ass email. 🧵

Powerful piece from @gameonysus.bsky.social on SGF, but more on LA.

I'll never forget the normal, everyday people I saw calmly and determinedly carrying signs and going to and from protests on the train and the oppressive and chaotic noise of the unnecessary and ever-present helicopters and sirens.

I am on 4th week of GZCL Program. Very fun and it is way easier to lift my toddler!

Nothing says teacher appreciation like gutting the Department of Education and firing half of the people that make the agency run.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

All the laws flouted during SignalGate Very illegal and very not cool.

New in PN: All the laws flouted during SignalGate

"There’s no excuse they can come up with that will be believable, bc the truth is obvious — they recklessly defied numerous laws by discussing war plans in a Signal group. And once they got caught, they made things even worse by incessantly lying."

so yes - I get it - I need to log off more, Matt :)
