Top Story
- AI generated clickbait will lead to the demise of search and web publishing/ (Tom's Hardware)
This is so obvious that you have to wonder why anyone does it.
- We tried using OpenAI to generate "marketing strategies" and it worked. (Tech Crunch)
Oh. That's why.
Tech News
- Alleged pricing for AMD's Radeon 7700 and 7800 has leaked. (Tom's Hardware)
The rumour puts the 7700 at $450 and the 7800 at $550, which is probably true because both prices are $50 too high.
At $400 the 7700 would compete directly against Nvidia's 8GB RTX 4060 Ti and crush it, and at $500 the 7800 would face up against the 16GB 4060 Ti model and make mincemeat out of it.
It was AMD's fight to lose and they did.
- Solidigm has announced 60TB QLC SSDs for the datacenter. (AnandTech)
Prices are not mentioned in the article, but one of the comments has the details: You can expect this to be around $4000. Which is a lot of money, but only 20% more per TB than the list price of the 4TB Team MP34.
If you need over a petabyte of fast storage in a 2U server, it's now easy.
- At the other end of the scale you can get a 2TB WD SN850X at Best Buy for $99. (Tom's Hardware)
It's a good drive and that's a great price. If you need 2TB of storage, no reason to wait. Prices will probably continue to trend downwards, but when it's already under $100 there's only so much further it can go.
- Apple is threatening to remove online services from the UK if planned surveillance legislation passes. (BBC News)
This isn't even a "maybe they both can lose" situation. Apple is right; the legislation is awful.
It would make it legal for British police and intelligence agencies to do everything their US equivalents currently do illegally.

This is what happened when we used AI to generate an article about using AI to generate stories about AI generating clickbait.

"This is so obvious that you have to wonder why anyone does it."
Short-sighted people who only care about the next paycheck, probably.
Or maybe they see themselves as some sort of patriots, bringing on the Butlerian Jihand early.

These probably are not Butlerian Jihad fans.
The Butlerian Jihad had too much love of humanity in it.
The envirowacko faction of wokerati is, by direct observation, what Saberhagen's Berserkers called Goodlife.
These effers may want the Berserkers, and see this dumbassery as a path to it.
