Top Story
- OpenAI is both irrrelevant and fucked. (SemiAnalysis)
This is allegedly a leaked document from Google, but whether that's true or not the analysis is accurate. It explains in detail how OpenAI went in a matter of weeks from a tech darling - a purveyor of complete crap, yes, but that doesn't matter to the investors - to utterly irrelevant.
Free software that you can not only run, but train, on consumer-level hardware is now nearly as capable as ChatGPT and free of the biases OpenAI cripples its own software with.
This is exactly what befell OpenAI's Dall-E image generation AI. In two years it went from being the market leader to not even being thought about, mostly because of OpenAI's mishandling.
Tech News
- Google has announced the Pixel Fold. (The Verge)
It's a $170 7" tablet that costs $1700 because it folds.
- Corsair has announced the PCIe 5 MP700 SSD. (AnandTech)
Problem is, you can get two PCIe 4 SSDs and put them in RAID-0, and they will be faster, cheaper, and give you twice as much storage.
- A look at the Beelink SER6 Pro, which is the current version of their AMD NUC rather than the new version with the crazy price. (Serve the Home)
Now that Ryzen 7000 NUCs have been announced, Ryzen 6000 NUCs are actually available. At least Intel ships on time. Sort of.
- Check for integer overflows. (Mayer)
Or someone might steal $20 million worth of imaginary JPEGs.
- Speaking of imaginary JPEGs and AI image generators you'll never guess what Amnesty International has been up to. (The Guardian)
Or maybe you will.
Disclaimer: An integer overflow walks into a bar...

"We at Amnesty International deeply regret getting caught lying. In the past, we were simply content to stage photo ops or recontextualize images to generate sympathy, and more importantly, revenue. In this instance, we did something that could actually be proven to be a deliberate lie. We will work harder in the future to cloak our lies in a fog of ambiguity."

That hurts, man.
I think a foldable tablet/phone would be pretty neat, but no way I'm paying anywhere near that kind of scratch.

Amusingly (?) the fake price on those GTR7s on AliExpress went up to $2000 and $2600.
