Bring Me Everything Edition
Top Story
- Important update from the Everything Game: Somebody created Pipkin Pippa. (Twitter)
That rabbit's dynamite.
- Quora raised $75 million to grow its AI chatbot, Poe. (Tech Crunch)
A Poe - as in Poe's law - is an online personality who posts things so off kilter that you can't tell whether they're trolling or mentally ill.
- How Quora died. (Slate)
It Poed itself.
Tech News
- Palworld is spending half a million dollars a month on game servers. (Hot Hardware)
That is sure to come down. To cope with the game's exploding popularity the company deployed servers "without regard to cost" to give players the best experience possible - considering the game is still in beta.
At this rate, the company will go broke in, uh, never. Sales have slowed but the first two weeks already cover that server bill for forty years.
- One million machine learning specialists will be needed by 2027. (Fortune)
This is not an article, but an ad for programming "bootcamps", which are mostly scams.
The premise is total garbage anyway. See the demise of Quora, for example.
- A Mastodon vulnerability allowed attackers to take over user accounts. (Bleeping Computer)
Fortunately Mastodon is distributed, so... The bug will persist until every single Mastodon node has been individually updated.
