I see how some people can watch flashy robot demos on the timeline and think with a shiver that the robot apocalypse is around the corner, but reality check:

There is no robot in the world that can change the batteries in a jack-o-lantern.

If you have a robot friendly door handle it might be able to walk outside, pick it up, and carry it back inside. The robot could open the drawer with your batteries in it, but then things get tough.

Opening the package of AA batteries? Extracting a precision screwdriver from its case? Unscrewing four tiny screws that require a hard press and twist? Popping batteries out of the case?

Yes, you could build and train a specialist robot to do that today, but there is a very long way to go to replace the full range of human capabilities. Near term doomer scenarios should stop at “secretly controlling humanity” instead of “wiping humanity out”

Read through Anthropic’s S-1 and the revenue numbers are wild.

They did $4.6B for all of 2025 and $16.3B in the first six months of 2026. The number of customers spending $100K+ a year also went from 950+ to 11,900+ in roughly a year.

The $80.7B net loss is probably the headline everyone will focus on, but $72.4B of that comes from changes in the value of its financing instruments. Operating loss was $693M, so the picture is a bit different from what that first number suggests.

One thing I found interesting is the ownership structure. The founders get 50.1% of the voting power through a special share, which means public investors won't have much control over company decisions.

I came across the funding numbers through Autumn AI while looking into the filing. The rest is from the S-1.

I am more curious about whether this growth can hold up than the headline loss. These numbers are huge, but the infrastructure commitments are huge too. Curious how people here are reading this.

What will happen when everyone can create software? When AI is getting better and better that software can be created in a few months, then a month, then a few weeks?

Well, the news of Microsoft today is what is about to happen to the entire Industry, or maybe one of the things that may happen.

Hi, math student here,, i spend like 70% of my entire life just study school to college a lot of self study and work to build skills in data analysis and even learned three languages english chinese france,, all of that just for the hope to find a fine jop after graduate escaping poverty then continue in progress and elevating myself.

know i feel AI just took all of it in short time and every thing i study and every skill i build is now meaningless because a AI can do it better than me or any human.

i really start losing hope, and idk what to do after graduate.

This month specifically the video game industry was altered forever. With vibe coding, backwards engineering, advanced AI mods, and new emulation systems, on top of jailbreaking every console, we now have a far more open source industry.

Our online browsing ecosystem changed while you weren't looking even though you are the reason it changed. Because of Google's AI browser results, we saw SEO become absolutely useless. Ad revenue dropped at staggering levels for small, medium and large businesses. So much so that many have had to shutter. No more ad click revenue, which may be better for consumers, but hurt the income streams of many. Now Google is switching from an ad revenue click stream model to a licensing deal model with specific third parties.

Software in general has become fully replicated with long standing companies seeing drops in subscriptions from people who would prefer not to be price gouged, and are instead trying out open source mirrors of older suites like Adobe. You can bet Autodesk is not far behind.

I think it's useful to remind yourself that any game that is released now will no longer be subject to the old familiar economic and consumer models. Those games will become integrated into the Katamari ecosystem. A digital space model where all things become open source and even interconnected.

It's important to note that simply going by the examples above and not delving deeper into other sectors and fields and industries being influenced or altered by AI, we already see the absolute necessity for rethinking economics overall.

Even outside of digital space, real life is being impacted. We can make anything we want with 3D tools, we can order anything and receive it day of, and robotics is advancing at break neck speed.

It's too late to get ahead of it. Our markets will crash long before we can pass new regulations or figure out new economic models that align with this AI integrated era.

This is it. We are living the disruption now. It's not going to get better right away, so people should be preparing for some hard core social upheaval.

A more cognizant and ethical US administration could have done so much to at least slow the pain of this progress, but we were fortunate enough to be given the literal worst humans as our leaders.

What's weirder is that those very people who seem to so negligently handle all things AI, are assuming they are going to profit off it as though the classic economic model that is based on market and shares will remain intact in the next year or two.

If you haven't figured out you are in the middle of not just a cultural change, but a change in civilization itself, then you better catch up.

Share your anxiety, ideas on how to achieve alignment, observations, etc. Everything is fair game as long as it somewhat relates to the singularity.

With the way how AI and computation is concentrated in the hands of a few cooperation of these days, the income inequality and the lives of the common people is going to get worse if we continue in this trajectory.

I personally think the only way we are surviving this is if we all have access to cheap decentralized AI.

Right now a beefy workstation can run a model maybe a year behind the current Frontier. We need to push companies to make these local workstations the Frontier. This means the current AI labs will have to lose eventually. And the ultimate winners would be actual hardware companies making hardware for the masses. Which means unironically we are the mercy of companies like Nvidia.🫡

Other than this I don't see a way out.
