A fascinating new entry in the Wall Street Journal’s CIO Journal column looks at what one might think would be the aftermath of the tokenmaxxing craze, in which companies spend as much money as possible on AI compute—but the Journal finds at least a couple businesses still acting profligate in the extreme, preferring in this case to spend a ton—but on premium-priced frontier models only.

But the “AI” powering the service, as noted in a small disclaimer on the billboard, isn’t artificial intelligence. It’s a self-avowed “average individual” named Tucker Bryant, who manually answers user queries by way of a chatbot-like interface. An “About” page for the service defines the process as “artisanal intelligence, handcrafted by a si

The rest lives around the shot. Automatic résumé boosting every four hours, because hh ranks by freshness. Automatic replies to AI screener questionnaires in chats.

Shutterstock / Futurism Microsoft employees are supposed to be using AI as much as possible. But wait, not like that! In internal tracker, one employee who worked in the Customer and Partner Solutions organization stood out from all the rest by admitting they spent an eyebrow-raising $28,000 on AI tools in just 28 days, Gadget Review noticed. That sky high figure came from an internal employee compensation spreadsheet first leaked by Business Insider, whic

Like it or not, AI agents are cropping up everywhere. Big tech companies are betting that in the not-so-distant future, we’ll all habitually rely on these systems as automated personal assistants, letting them handle our drudgework while we do something more worthwhile (sleep, maybe). Yes, agents have a somewhat tarnished reputation in the aftermath of the Hugging Face hack and similar incidents, and yes, they come with a pretty serious privacy trade-off (

On Tuesday morning, Thibault Sottiaux, head of ChatGPT and Codex, warned that the $200 Pro subscription would return with half the usage value, while promising “good news” for the evening. The

On Friday afternoon, Elon Musk confidently declared to the world that “Saving money for the distant future is pointless with the advent of super intelligent abundance.” Three days later, the same Elon Musk said the cost of running AI was getting a little too steep even for him, and that he needed to start saving a little money.
