A loud forecast costs the man on stage nothing. It costs a generation their craft. Every CEO who called engineers obsolete has quietly walked it back. Not one correction under the name that made the claim. techtrenches.dev/p/nobody-answe…
OpenAI guaranteed DeployCo investors a 17.5% annual return. On what? A business that hires humans to make AI work inside companies. The same OpenAI that spent two years saying AI replaces humans just underwrote a 17.5% yield on humans. techtrenches.dev/p/when-your-ve…
Fable 5 launched Tuesday. The US government pulled it on Friday at 5:21 PM for every non-citizen on earth, including Anthropic's own employees. Europe spent 3 years writing AI regulations. The US just made them irrelevant with one letter. techtrenches.dev/p/europe-regul…

Anthropic's whole brand was one binding safety pledge. The month it got expensive, they deleted it. Then filed for an IPO at $965b, and 3 days later said the industry should slow down. The rule was theirs when it sold. Once it cost them, it's the industry's problem techtrenches.dev/p/anthropic-ke…
Uber burned its AI coding budget in four months, then capped engineers at $1,500/mo per tool. It rebuilt the exact ceiling it spent a year tearing down. The bill never measured productivity. It measured who burned the most tokens to win a leaderboard. techtrenches.dev/p/nobody-won-t…
Opus 4.8 is out. Does anyone still care?
@badlogicgames Cause nothing changed from 4.5
96% on Anthropic's stage Monday. 99% at Investor Day Wednesday. It went up before the slides changed. Broke down every primary source behind Spotify's AI coding narrative. What Honk actually does, what 15 years of infrastructure look like, and why none of it transfers. techtrenches.dev/p/honk-is-not-…
canvas got hacked through a free teacher account. 30 million students. patched it once, hackers came back a week later. put a ransom note on the login page. during finals. the entry point was a feature nobody thought to audit. it always is.
GM just fired 600 IT people and is hiring "AI-native developers" instead. They call it a skills swap. The people who know how GM's systems actually work leave. The people who know AI but have never seen the systems arrive. The knowledge just vanishes. Nobody notices until production breaks.
Shell shortage nearly cost Ukraine the war. FPV drones fixed that. Then Russia put them on fiber optic cable and they became unjammable. Now AI data centers are buying up the same fiber. Price went from $4 to $50/km. A Starlink terminal costs less than one spool. techtrenches.dev/p/silicon-vall…
Palantir CEO is in Kyiv today meeting Zelensky. 100+ companies training 80+ AI models on real combat data. drone interception, target detection. While Silicon Valley argues about benchmarks, Ukraine is testing AI where failure means people die.
@GergelyOrosz Why this is bothering you? We earned what we deserved
We trained AI on 518 million GitHub repos. Most of them are student projects, abandoned prototypes, and unreviewed Stack Overflow pastes. Then we were surprised that the output is mediocre. The model isn't broken. It learned exactly what we taught it. techtrenches.dev/p/ai-is-a-mirr…
