Excerpt:

The IPO Math Forces the Issue

Both OpenAI and Anthropic are on IPO timelines for the second half of 2026. OpenAI completed the largest private funding round in history in April, $122 billion at an $852 billion post-money valuation. Anthropic has reportedly surpassed $30 billion in annualized revenue. Massive numbers, both of them. Also both attached to companies that are still burning cash at extraordinary rates.

Public markets will not tolerate the gap between subscription revenue and compute cost that has defined the past three years. The moment either company files, analysts will demand unit economics that show a path to margin. Usage-based billing is the fastest way to demonstrate that path.

None of this contradicts the repricing thesis. The pricing war is the last land grab before the gate closes. Both companies are spending aggressively now to lock in users whose switching costs will make them sticky when prices rise. OpenAI offers two months free. Anthropic offers 50% more capacity. Both expire in July. What comes after July is the real pricing.

Listen to the audio, its pathetic.

This shit calls the pharmacy nonstop asking if adderall is in stock. What can we say that will blow their budget?

Google is encouraging its database developers to lean "heavily" on AI coding tools as it ramps up contributions to open source projects such as PostgreSQL.

Earlier this year, Google announced a raft of new contributions to PostgreSQL, the open source database that has become a popular RDBMS for developers building new applications in the cloud.

Multiple researchers using the same tools to find the same bugs are creating ‘unnecessary pain and pointless work’

Here's a behind the scenes

From the creator:

The models powering generative AI platforms have been trained on the work of countless artists, generally without consent or compensation. This questionable provenance aside; it is arguable the most successful use cases for these systems are misinformation, manipulation, defamation, theft, and fraud. There is also an environmental impact to expending massive amounts of computational power on something of such dubious value. As these ethical, economic, social, and ecological issues are fundamental to the technology – I will always reject their use in my work.

Due to it's danger, no public access, only accesible by selected partners, like Google, MS and nVidia "for security", so I'm calm, I think
