Like Clockwork: AI Hype Machine Spins Up After Bubble Cracks Form

It was something I suspected would happen, but the AI hype machine is roaring at full speed once again.

In another sign in the decline of mainstream media, the Washington Post has issues massive layoffs, causing one publisher to quit.

The lack of public buy-in for AI has been well known, but some additional research pretty much proves the point.

The AI bubble fears continue after Amazon announced they were investing heavily in AI. That triggered a stock selloff.

Cracks are continuing to form on the AI bubble as NVidia’s $100 billion OpenAI investment reportedly stalls.

One of the major generative AI companies, OpenAI, is forecasting a loss of $14 billion for 2026.

Pornhub says that UK access to its site will cease as of February 2nd for most users, giving people more incentives to use things like VPNs.

The Canadian government has reversed an earlier decision to “ban” TikTok. It was always a really dumb move.

The CRTC has, once again, been sued over the Online Streaming Act. This time, by the Motion Picture Association Canada and several others.

The US is continuing to up the pressure to get a repeal of the Online News Act and the Online Streaming Act.
