Dann lasst uns doch alle wieder #Alkoholiker werden, liebe #Brauer. Der #Brauerbund klagt über Absatzprobleme. Warum? Weil Bürger:innen #Fitness vor #Zellgift und #Sucht stellen und lieber kein #Bier mehr #saufen. Sie diffamieren Gesundheits- als #Alkoholpolitik. Zynismus pur. Bei aller Liebe, aber wenn Euch die Leute eine Absage erteilen, weil #Alkohol schlichtweg schädlich ist, dann jammert nicht rum! Stattdessen innoviert Euere #Businessmodels. #Alkoholfrei ist das Gebot der Stunde!

#Anthropic’s release of new #AItools targeting complex #professionalworkflows has sparked concerns about the impact on traditional #software #businessmodels. The long-term impact remains uncertain, with some analysts predicting a shift towards #AIdrivenworkflows while others emphasise the resilience of mission-critical #enterprisesoftware providers. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/06/ai-anthropic-tools-saas-software-stocks-selloff.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news

How abusive business practices creep in & how to stop it

Anthropic spent over $8M on Super Bowl ads mocking ChatGPT's advertising model, promising Claude would stay ad-free. Sam Altman's lengthy response escalating from "dishonest" to "authoritarian" suggests the campaign hit its target. The underlying question remains unanswered: how do AI labs build sustainable business models when inference costs remain high?

Kelly Evans: Goodbye, Google

For the first time yesterday, when I went to Google (which I do less and less of anymore), it asked me if I wanted to switch over to AI mode. I figured sure, since I’ve been using its AI summaries anyhow, and it put me into what looked like a full-blown version of Gemini or ChatGPT. No ads. No blue links. 

What this tells me is that the era of Google as we knew it is officially over. And I, for one, certainly do not mourn that. As great as the product was when it was first introduced, is as bad as it became towards the end. Good luck finding any really useful links buried beneath all of their ads. Smaller businesses were justifiably furious at having to pay to compete up top against the deep-pocketed big guys for traffic they were rightly owed. 

The search engine, in other words, had become nowhere near as effective as it used to be. And while regulators drool at the opportunity to jump in and set rules and prosecute offenders and collect big fines, it’s far better for society that monopolies are disrupted because they become less useful and leave an opening for better products to break through. 

Enter ChatGPT. 

Now, the irony here is twofold. One, after a few early missteps, Google has answered ChatGPT with its own excellent chatbot, Gemini, that we are using more and more of in our house. (If you want a chuckle, ask it to give you this job/personality test.) Shares of parent company Alphabet soared 65% last year, for the best performance of all the “Magnificent 7.” 

So while it’s goodbye to Google as a search box, the company itself has pivoted nicely, and regulators can at least breathe somewhat easy that they have a formidable rival now, with ChatGPT’s 900 million active weekly users. 

Secondly, the real question is what happens to the entire internet ecosystem that once relied upon Google search traffic. I’m thinking of recipe bloggers, websites like Vice and Buzzfeed that once had hundreds of employees, and so forth. I’m not sure how much of the former internet economy realizes it’s never coming back, and they will have to dream up entirely new business models. 

I also expect the lawyers are salivating. The class action suits against chatbots that scraped the internet of content that people once made a living off of must surely be coming apace. News providers can survive and even thrive in a world where chatbots have to pay to maintain access to up-to-the-minute information for users, but someone who gave the internet their maple-glazed salmon recipe? Forget about it.

When People Realize How Good The Latest Chinese #OpenSource Models Are (And Free), The #GenAI Bubble Could Finally Pop - https://www.techdirt.com/2025/12/16/when-people-realize-how-good-the-latest-chinese-open-source-models-are-and-free-the-genai-bubble-could-finally-pop/ #businessmodels #china

"Earlier this year, MIT made headlines with a report that found 95% of organizations are getting no return from AI — and this despite a groundbreaking $30 billion investment, or more, into US-based internal gen AI initiatives. So why do so many AI initiatives fail to deliver positive ROI? Because they often lack a clear connection to business value, says Neal Ramasamy, global CIO at Cognizant, an IT consulting firm. “This leads to projects that are technically impressive but don’t solve a real need or create a tangible benefit,” he says.

Technologists often follow the hype, diving headfirst into AI tests without considering business results. “Many start with models and pilots rather than business outcomes,” says Saket Srivastava, CIO of Asana, the project management application. “Teams run demos in isolation, without redesigning the underlying workflow or assigning a profit and loss owner.”

A combination of a lack of upfront product thinking, poor underlying data practices, nonexistent governance, and minimal cultural incentives to adopt AI can produce negative results. So to avoid poor outcomes, many of the techniques boil down to better change management. “Without process change, AI speeds today’s inefficiencies,” adds Srivastava.

Here, we review five tips to manage change within an organization that CIOs can put into practice today. By following this checklist, enterprises should start to turn the tide on negative AI ROI, learn from anti-patterns, and discover which sort of metrics validate successful company-wide AI ventures."
