"...Hallucinations, where language models (LMs) generate factually ungrounded responses, pose serious risks, as users tend to blindly rely on them. This is particularly concerning in high-stakes domains, where consequences of such model behavior can lead to significant harms. Despite notable progress in understanding hallucinations, it remains unclear how reliably these models can recognize the limits of their knowledge....
...We introduce PhantomBench, the first large-scale benchmark of its kind, comprising more than 60K non-existent terms and entities derived from real concepts across diverse domains. Using our benchmark, we evaluate a total of 21 models of various types and sizes....
...We show staggering hallucination rates across the board (with average rates as high as 86.7% in some cases), and note that even frontier models surprisingly fail to abstain on non-existent concepts, especially when the input presumes their existence..."
The report says, the CEO and founder, is a Ketamine addicted weirdo, who does Nazi salutes in public, is know to have at least 24 kids, and lives in an isolated farm in Texas, with at least 5 to 7 female partners, and got sued for calling a guy who saved kids a Pedophile.
In the SpaceX IPO prospect there was mention of Kardashev Type civilizations...normally, this would be enough to just get people institutionalized, but in 2026 its what it takes.
We are getting dumber and there is no way around it:
>> The US government basically has to nationalize AI and capture an outsize portion of the revenue from it
Currently AI has generated no profit. And as it sits, is a non viable business.
I refuse to include the sellers of shovels as AI revenue.
If the companies buying the shovels are still losing money, then the tool supplier fortunes have nothing to do with the economics of the AI application layer, who is losing money on every prompt.
It's the most naive opinion that keeps getting shoveled around. You have a product that is viewed as essential by businesses, with revenue growing by 10x a year and geopolitical ramifications that have continued to rear their heads and your opinion is "this is all an unprofitable shill". It is extraordinary to me that people really believe this. Whether or not labs run at a loss today is absolutely irrelevant. There is of course steady state economics that make sense, and its currently not well known what the profitability picture is right now, so to say "Currently AI has generated no profit" is also just speculation and not a very insightful one at that.
I've heard that the API calls by themselves are ~60% profit if you ignore capital expenditures. The labs haven't generated profit because they're constantly sinking money into the next generation of larger models to stay relevant. Dario has talked about the economics of this a lot, and I do believe him there.
There's clearly also a lot of pent up demand in the corporate world for inference, the problem is that it's currently expensive enough that enterprises are balking at the cost before they've had a chance to refine processes and see projects through to fruition. That's a tractable problem to solve though.
That's true, but if the frontier doesn't advance there's no depreciation or ongoing capital expenditure. If all the frontier labs agreed to stop making stronger AI and just try to sell what they've already trained today, their books would turn green in a hurry.
Absolutely. Look at every current member of the EU commission, European Investment Bank and European Central Bank. Almost without exception, almost everyone has a scandal behind them.
Its how you get these jobs, you need to prove you have the pedigree.
