Top Story
- Boeing workers, offered a 25% pay rise, have voted instead to go on strike. (Washington Post)
25% doesn't even cover what the government admits to in inflation figures for the last four years, so the motivation is understandable.
The belief that Boeing has the money to pay them more less so. Sure, it's not their fault that the company has no money... Maybe.
Tech News
- Samsung's new 280-layer 9th generation QLC flash memory could reduce SSD prices by 50%. (Tom's Hardware)
Could do.
Won't.
- Nvidia's CEO says the company can totally switch from TSMC and that he sees a $1 trillion market for its products. (WCCFTech)
As for the first, they tried that, and it went... Meh.
As for the second, I'm sure he does. And as CEO he doesn't need to piss in a cup before each shift.
- Hasbro's CEO says he plays D&D with 30 to 40 people regularly and every single one of them is using AI. (Futurism)
I believe he is an AI.
- Unity - an all-in-one library for creating video games - is killing its controversial runtime license fee. (Game Developer)
This comes a year after the controversial runtime license fee killed Unity, so it's a bit pointless.
- The entire staff of game developer Annapurna Interactive - creator of postapocalyptic cat adventure Stray - has quit. (The Verge)
That's only 25 people, but still. Couldn't find any clear indication of the reasons, either.
- Oprah just had an AI special with guests Sam Altman, Bill Gates, and NKVD director Chris Wray. (Tech Crunch)
It went about as you would expect.

At Boeing, with their current problems, lets say I want some of what they're smoking, especially since a lot of the problems seem to be of the "the employees aren't getting the job done" variety.

Won't."
And the commenters point that out. Also, QLC? Ewwww. I know it has it's uses, but as a home user? Ew.

Whatever that means. The employees didn't like it, though, and agitated for the game studio to be spun off into its own entity, and were told to pound sand, so they quit.

Boeing's problems trace back to management (The door plug got closed by an unqualified employee, it turns out, because managers were pressing to get the interiors installed and the qualified employee wasn't there.)
