Top Story
- OpenAI is expected to burn through $115 billion through 2029. (MSN)
This includes expected losses of $8 billion this year, $15 billion next year, $35 billion in 2027, and $45 billion in 2028.
It might just be me, but that does not seem supportable in the long run.
Or even in the short run.
- Meanwhile NPM got massively compromised, again. (Aikido)

Tech News
- Plex got hacked too, with an unauthorised third party gaining access to email addresses, usernames, and encrypted passwords. (Nerds)
Time to reset your password.
- Experimenting with LLMs locally on your Mac without spending $115 billion. (Fatih's Personal Blog)
Including a guide to prebuilt LLMs that can be run on modest hardware.
- Nova Launcher has left the building. (The Verge)
This was my Android app launcher of choice for many years.
Nova was bought by mobile analytics company Branch in 2022, and since then all the developers including the original creator have left the new company.
- All 54 games written for the original clickwheel iPod have now been recovered. (Ars Technica)
You just need an iPod to play them.
It's not like saving a long-lost Scopitone film reel, but it's something.
