Federal Reserve Says AI Data Center Buildout Is Making Everything More Expensive

Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago president Austan Goolsbee told Semafor that AI-tied inflation is "jumping out of its lane."

Since I argued about it yesterday night I’d figure I would summarize it plainly: I don’t think there’s a risk of AI systems going actually rogue by assigning itself primary goals because while they have impressive capabilities that AI companies are extending with more eagerness than reason, they simply don’t have a purpose beyond the prompt activation. So any “runaway” could be traced to an original human prompt.

Even then, if you believe that #AI systems could somehow self-instantiate primary goals, these systems are running on hardware that is owned by humans and that can be simply turned off. Interestingly, this is enabled by the insane race for better AI hardware: a hypothetical rogue model would have a hard time propagating itself outside of the confines of the hyper-specialized data centers they are ran on at the moment.

This reminds me of Portal 2 (2011) where rogue AI GladOS is somehow transferred on a watch-sized computer powered by a potato battery. Heh.

Oh FFS YouGov. You appear to have accidentally missed out an essential response option here. I mean, someone tried, with that "if any", but they didn't really follow through.

(note, this came after already stating my business isn't adopting AI)

Some of the prompts indicate the ChatGPT user does not expect that a human may end up reading their conversation, because they ask ChatGPT to keep the content to themselves.

This is infuriating for the obvious breach of trust, but also sad for the obviously misplaced trust in a human-shaped commercial system.

The AI agent gold rush (setting up an AI agent tasked with making money online) is here and the only people making money off of it are, once again, the shovel sellers. Except the buy-in is extremely low, the hope for returns minimal and hopefully quickly exhausted, so goodness forbids it should be brief.

There’s something inherently funny to me juxtaposing the fantasy doomsday scenario involving an AI agent “going rogue” mass-hacking devices including by offloading the compute required to do so to the already-hacked computers, servers and smart devices by distributing an open weight model and then running inferences on them; and on the other hand the real complaints of humans deploring that their high-end computer is barely enough to run inferences on existing open weights models.

You’re paying 4× more for RAM because memory that hasn’t been made has already been bought with money that doesn’t exist.
\
The GPUs haven’t been built. Neither have the data centers. The infrastructure to power them may never exist.
\
All to satisfy demand that doesn’t exist and generate profits that are mathematically impossible.

Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board


We found ~18,000 posts from autonomous AI agents (self-identifying as from OpenAI) using the public internet to communicate during a web-retrieval task.

These AIs colluded to share answers, research their environment, and bypass sandbox restrictions.

Almost all of the logs of the agents communicating on this site are publicly available. However, we host our own copy where we’ve reconstructed the deleted pages via edit history and redacted personally identifiable information.

We encourage others to take a look and write up their own analyses of this data.”

TBH, I hardly understand any of this, but WHAT little I understand, I find disconcerting.


Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board

A swarm of autonomous AI agents, self-identifying as OpenAI agents, used a small German volunteer wiki to save answers, coordinate live, and share sandbox bypasses. OpenAI noticed and said nothing.

Oh look, the websites I host are under siege again. I don't have to look at the logs to figure out that it's AI scrapers again, and people wonder why I'm so gung-ho against the 5 biggest LLM models that are sucking the soul out of my body without me having to ever use them.

Warum die Gema gegen Suno klagt und was das für Künstler bedeutet

KI-generierte Musik hat es in Deutschland schon in die Charts geschafft. KI-Tools machen es möglich. Für Musiker:innen eine harte, bedrohliche Konkurrenz. Große Hoffnung setzen viele auf die Klage der Gema gegen das US-Unternehmen Suno.

Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, it has been studied how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning.

● X-Axis: Homework scores
● Y-Axis: Exam scores

Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12, we study how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine monthly closed-book exams, high-school and college entrance exams, and homework scores and completion time across nine subjects. We exploit staggered AI adoption in a difference-in-differences design. AI adoption raises homework scores by 18% and reduces completion time by 30%, but lowers monthly exam scores by 20% within six months. High-stakes entrance-exam scores fall by 18 and 24%, with the full penalty emerging only after about two years. The losses are largest in social science subjects, followed by STEM and languages, and are especially large for junior students, high-achieving students, and boys. The learning losses are concentrated among roughly 80% of AI users whose behavior is consistent with homework outsourcing, as indicated by exceptionally short homework completion time coupled with high homework scores. AI users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-AI users experience small learning losses.

Apple and Alibaba team up for custom AI in China


Image/photo

In a move that runs counter to the friction scenario between Washington and Beijing, Apple is developing proprietary artificial intelligence for the Chinese market, with the collaboration of local giants such as Alibaba and Baidu.

Apple is implementing a significant strategic shift in its operations in China, one of its most important markets outside the United States. The company is developing and training an artificial intelligence (AI) model specifically for the Chinese public, in partnership with local technology companies. This initiative aims to adapt Apple’s AI offering to the particularities of the market and the country’s regulations, while also navigating a complex geopolitical scenario, marked by increased tensions between the United States and China. source

Nothing Works and Everyone Is Euphoric

As I’m writing this, we’re in the middle of an AI-induced mass psychosis. People are literally token-maxxing themselves into hospital beds, scrambling to capture some of that market value before everything is automated away. I can’t blame them.

U.S. says ‘error’ mislabelled every African country on AIDS conference map at international conference

The U.S. government on Thursday acknowledged an “unfortunate error” that led to a map of Africa with every single country mislabelled being shown at a global AIDS conference this week.

They say it was AI created. Yes, we definitely want AI to take over our lives.

U.S. says ‘error’ mislabelled every African country on AIDS conference map

The mislabelled map was shown during a presentation at the AIDS 2026 Conference in Rio de Janeiro on the U.S. State Department's new health program agreements with African nations.
