LLMs are a failure. A new AI winter is coming.

Though LLMs had a lot of promise, this has not been demonstrated in practice. The technology is essentially a failure, and a new AI winter is coming.

A New AI Winter Is Coming
----
- 37 minutes ago | 37 points | 30 comments
- URL: taranis.ie/llms-are-a-failure-
- Discussions: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4
- Summary: The author argues that large language models (LLMs) are fundamentally flawed because they can only produce statistically plausible next tokens, making hallucinations inevitable and indistinguishable from correct output. Corporate generative-AI projects already fail ~95 % of the time, and the resulting bubble—mirroring the dot-com crash—will soon burst, wiping out investors, startups, and over-hyped use cases. Coding, medical, legal, and other high-stakes applications are especially unsafe. After the crash, only a few low-risk “killer apps” will survive; the rest will be abandoned. The piece urges readers to divest before the coming AI winter.

Google, Nvidia, and OpenAI – Stratechery by Ben Thompson
----
- an hour ago | 22 points | 10 comments
- URL: stratechery.com/2025/google-nv
- Discussions: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4
- Summary: Google’s Gemini 3 has overtaken OpenAI’s best model on key benchmarks, intensifying a three-way contest. The chip battle: Google is monetizing its TPUs externally, threatening Nvidia’s high-margin GPU dominance; Nvidia counters with flexibility and CUDA lock-in, but hyperscalers may now invest in escape layers. The model battle: OpenAI’s lead evaporates just as its losses mount; it clings to 800 million weekly ChatGPT users but refuses advertising, ceding price and product iteration to Google’s ad-funded, video-rich arsenal. Thompson frames the outcome as a test of Aggregation Theory: consumer scale plus ads beats pure technology or hardware margins.

Introducing constant-time support for LLVM to protect cryptographic code

blog.trailofbits.com · Dec 02

Trail of Bits developed constant-time coding support for LLVM that prevents compilers from breaking cryptographic implementations vulnerable to timing attacks, introducing the __builtin_ct_select family of intrinsics that preserve constant-time properties throughout compilation.

David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*) (@david_chisnall) · Dec 02
🔁 @trailofbits:

LLVM will soon protect cryptographic code from timing attacks at the compiler level. The compiler translates __builtin_ct_select across multiple architectures (x86-64, i386, ARM, AArch64) to appropriate constant-time implementations using native instructions, such as cmov or CSEL, where available, or masked arithmetic patterns elsewhere. blog.trailofbits.com/2025/12/0
