🚨Goldman Sachs just confirmed something insane and nobody’s talking about it

companies spent $450 billion in AI and contributed zero to US economic growth. not “minimal.” actually zero.

these companies fired a total of 30,000+ human workers to bet on ai infrastructure. it failed.

so where did the money went?

> Nvidia took $130B. Jensen got rich selling GPUs - not from AI working, from everyone buying hardware.

> corporate buybacks got the rest. cut jobs, slash costs, pump stock, buy it back. money went to shareholders, not productivity.

> the bubble: H100 clusters sitting underutilized. enterprise contracts collecting dust. same hype cycle.

the damage is done. Meta fired 21K. Amazon 16K. Atlassian 1.6K. those jobs aren’t coming back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

they bet the economy on AI productivity. Goldman confirmed there is no productivity. lmao

either this pays off in 18 months or we just witnessed the largest capital misallocation in tech history and we can’t undo it 💀

🚨BREAKING: OpenAI published a paper proving that ChatGPT will always make things up.

Not sometimes. Not until the next update. Always. They proved it with math.

Even with perfect training data and unlimited computing power, AI models will still confidently tell you things that are completely false. This isn't a bug they're working on. It's baked into how these systems work at a fundamental level.

And their own numbers are brutal. OpenAI's o1 reasoning model hallucinates 16% of the time. Their newer o3 model? 33%. Their newest o4-mini? 48%. Nearly half of what their most recent model tells you could be fabricated. The "smarter" models are actually getting worse at telling the truth.

Here's why it can't be fixed. Language models work by predicting the next word based on probability. When they hit something uncertain, they don't pause. They don't flag it. They guess. And they guess with complete confidence, because that's exactly what they were trained to do.

The researchers looked at the 10 biggest AI benchmarks used to measure how good these models are. 9 out of 10 give the same score for saying "I don't know" as for giving a completely wrong answer: zero points. The entire testing system literally punishes honesty and rewards guessing.

So the AI learned the optimal strategy: always guess. Never admit uncertainty. Sound confident even when you're making it up.

OpenAI's proposed fix? Have ChatGPT say "I don't know" when it's unsure. Their own math shows this would mean roughly 30% of your questions get no answer. Imagine asking ChatGPT something three times out of ten and getting "I'm not confident enough to respond." Users would leave overnight. So the fix exists, but it would kill the product.

This isn't just OpenAI's problem. DeepMind and Tsinghua University independently reached the same conclusion. Three of the world's top AI labs, working separately, all agree: this is permanent.

Every time ChatGPT gives you an answer, ask yourself: is this real, or is it just a confident guess?

Jon Stewart hosted ‘THE DAILY SHOW’ tonight in its “patriotically obedient” era after Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended.

Stewart said that The First Amendment is now determined by the “niceness to the President” & if that isn’t strong enough then the “FCC must be notified to threaten the acquisition prospects for billion dollar mergers of network affiliates”
