Betelbuddy··on OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra on ARC-AGI-3
"For a cost comparison, during our controlled testing, human participants were paid $115 per 90-minute session, plus $5 per game completed. Participants attempted approximately nine games per session, roughly $12.78 per attempted game before bonuses.

Most of this fee pays for the participant’s time and willingness to take the test, rather than the energy their brain uses (a closer proxy to compare with AI). If we look at only the brain’s energy, and price it as electricity, the estimate drops to about 0.6 cents per session, or 0.067 cents per game attempted."

Well I dont know about all of you, but I am celebrating meat based humans...

Betelbuddy··on Anthropic IPO filing will show AI backlash as a risk factor, sources say
One risk they should include is: Our vision is working on a product and business model, that if we succeed, will make our business model and product obsolete.

But it seems they are pretty pissed off with the Chinese, since they spent a few hundred million on their defense systems, that turned to be a complete failure. This was also after the HQ-9B failed to adequately protect high-value targets in Pakistan during India Operation Sindoor,

Betelbuddy··on Post-mortem of the EU Europa breach: A masterclass in IAM misconfiguration
>> how does an organization of this scale miss such fundamental guardrails?

I see it from a more strategic point of view. This is what happens when an entire industry decided that real learning is optional.

Nobody thinks they need training or up skilling anymore. Architects vibe-configure their IAM policies out of ChatGPT, copy paste SCPs from Stack Overflow, and call it done. No threat modeling, no blast radius analysis, no understanding of why the guardrail exists.

And AWS shoulders blame here too. They gutted hands on, instructor-led training in favor of SkillBuilder modules and self-service docs, then washed their hands of it.

Their entire customer enablement model is now here is one of a thousand 12-minute videos and a multiple-choice quiz, good luck with your multi-account Organization....

The EU failed at taking cloud seriously enough, to actually learn it. And they are far from alone.

>> SpaceX is making money and doing well, the business fundamentals are working out, and it is valuable because of that.

Not true. They have to build a new constellation, every four years, at a cost of 8 billion dollars, and that is not accounted for.

Betelbuddy··on Maybe Trump Should Not Have Given This Speech
>> What was his goal here?

Simplifying the work for lawyers presenting evidence, at his future trial for war crimes in The Hague.

His immunity is only in the face of the US legal system, and the horrors that will be upon us soon, will lead a future US President, to do the decent thing and extradite him.

I pitty Pete Hegseth, who will have to share a cell with him.
