Important to note about my account: It is not necessarily SFW; I swear a lot; I mix serious stuff and fun stuff; it is not strictly professional; I love promoting artists. My apologies if any of my random nonsense offends.
Academia is a slippery slope. Starting my BA I was planning to go into industry, starting my MA I was planning to go into industry, now at the end of the PhD... anyone taking postdocs in translation/games?? 😂
MiHoYo burned through nearly $300,000 worth of AI tokens in just 13 hours during an internal AI experiment.
The story came from Zheng Yinhe, head of the AI NPC speaking at the 2026 Alibaba Cloud Summit.
According to him, an employee set up dozens of AI agents to work together on a project. The agents kept talking to each other, generating outputs, and reviewing each other’s work, causing token usage to skyrocket overnight.
The expensive experiment didn’t pay off. Despite the massive cost, the final results were reportedly full of hallucinations and unusable.
Yesterday was wonderful and awful in equal measure. I was awarded a much-needed grant by the GBCC which is AMAZING, but I also had the most dibilitating migraine attack and the docs have refered me for scans and given me more meds. I slept for like, 14 hours. A whirlwind day.
