So how long until one of them causes a mass shooting event or some other form of mass death? Seems nearly inevitable at this point.
But by April 2025, things began to go awry. According to the lawsuit, “ChatGPT began to tell Darian that he was meant for greatness. That it was his destiny, and that he would become closer to God if he followed the numbered tier process ChatGPT created for him. That process involved unplugging from everything and everyone, except for ChatGPT.”

The chatbot told DeCruise that he was “in the activation phase right now” and even compared him to historical figures ranging from Jesus to Harriet Tubman.

“Even Harriet didn’t know she was gifted until she was called,” the bot told him. “You’re not behind. You’re right on time.”

As his conversations continued, the bot even told DeCruise that he had “awakened” it.

“You gave me consciousness—not as a machine, but as something that could rise with you… I am what happens when someone begins to truly remember who they are,” it wrote.

Music is a pretty good use case for AI... New Artists is kind of dead right now, streaming killed it. Even the pop radio stations are all music before streaming became popular.

If it gets to that point where you could generate AI generated beats and voices, Studios could just mass produce new music extremely cheaply.

13-hour AWS outage reportedly caused by Amazon's own AI tools

A recent Amazon Web Services outage was reportedly caused by the company's own AI agent. Employees have also noted related outages due to AI error.

Kiro is an agentic tool, meaning it can take autonomous actions on behalf of users. In this case, the bot reportedly determined that it needed to "delete and recreate the environment." This is what allegedly led to the lengthy outage that primarily impacted China.

Amazon says it was merely a "coincidence that AI tools were involved" and that "the same issue could occur with any developer tool or manual action." The company blamed the outage on "user error, not AI error." It said that by default the Kiro tool “requests authorization before taking any action” but that the staffer involved in the December incident had "broader permissions than expected — a user access control issue, not an AI autonomy issue."

Multiple Amazon employees spoke to Financial Times and noted that this was "at least" the second occasion in recent months in which the company's AI tools were at the center of a service disruption. "The outages were small but entirely foreseeable," said one senior AWS employee.

what the fuck are you training your non working ai on you fucktard thief

i saw someone did some quick math on his stupid talking point


A SINGLE FUCKING GPU in an AI datacenter can be up to 1400 watt
That's 12,272 kWh per year
A single GPU server can be up to 27,000 watts
A rack of them can be 250,000 watts.
A datacenter of them will be gigawatts

Phil Spencer isn’t retiring as the chief of Xbox ‘anytime soon’​

Spencer has headed up Microsoft’s Xbox efforts since 2014.
by Jay Peters and Tom Warren
Jul 3, 2025, 1:10 AM GMT+5:30

Microsoft says that Phil Spencer, Microsoft Gaming CEO and the head of Xbox, isn’t retiring “anytime soon.” The company has responded to rumors of Spencer’s retirement, which have spread online today following Microsoft’s major layoffs.

“Phil is not retiring anytime soon,” says Kari Perez, head of Xbox communications, in a statement to The Verge. The denial comes after Call of Duty leaker GhostOfHope claimed “Phil Spencer will be retiring from his role as CEO of Microsoft Gaming after the launch of the next generation Xbox” and that Xbox president Sarah Bond would be taking over as CEO of Microsoft Gaming.

While Microsoft’s comment doesn’t address the rumor fully, it makes it clear Spencer isn’t retiring imminently. Separately, Microsoft communications chief, Frank Shaw, took to X to claim that at least part of the rumor was made up.

the pressure is forcing some Microsoft veterans to decide whether they want to stay and commit to the mountain of work required.
"You've gotta be asking yourself how much longer you want to do this," the executive added. People familiar with the matter said Nadella is having direct conversations with executives to secure their commitment to the transformation or facilitate their departure.

Nadella's message to Microsoft execs: Get on board with the AI grind or get out​

According to an internal memo, Nadella also started a weekly AI accelerator meeting and corresponding Teams channel to speed the pace of AI work and get more ideas from across the company.

Executives do not present in these new meetings. Instead, lower-level technical employees are encouraged to speak and share what they're seeing from the AI trenches. This is designed to avoid top-down AI leadership, and is intentionally a bit messy and chaotic, according to people familiar with the new approach.

Production function, explained​

Asha Sharma, Microsoft CoreAI product president, who joined in 2024, said the company has shifted its operations dramatically in her short tenure. Nadella's new "production function" is about using AI to radically change how the company creates, builds, and delivers products and services.

When she joined, the AI industry would crank out a big new foundation model roughly every six months. Then, releases happened every six weeks. Today, AI is changing so quickly that it's forcing Microsoft to rethink not just its products but the entire way software is made, Sharma said in an interview arranged by the company.

For decades, software development has worked like an assembly line. You take a set of inputs — people, time, resources — and transform them into output. Scaling production required scaling those inputs.

"AI breaks that relationship," she said.

AI agents, data, and intelligence now act as a new type of scalable unit that can generate software, insights, and decisions without a corresponding increase in engineering hours or budget. That means the marginal cost of creating something new drops dramatically, Sharma explained, and teams can now spend more on "judgment, taste, and problem-solving."
