  18.   <summary>Sesquipedalian Edition Top Story Intel has entered "risk production" on its new 18A process. (Tom's Hardware) That's 18 angstroms - 1.8 nanometers - in case you were wondering. Though it's just marketing; nothing about the process measures 18 angstroms. Risk production is when a new process seems to work, but nobody has used it in volume yet. Hence the risk. Intel cancelled its planed 20A process, so this will be the first time we see new features like gate-all-around transistors from them. Tech News ARM plans to grow its datacenter market share from 15% to 50%. (Tom's Hardware) This year....</summary>

(Tech Crunch) And claims that the service is used by 500 million people each week, which I rather doubt, unless they're counting everyone who uses a service that uses OpenAI in some way. So I guess we're not going to be rid of them any time soon. Tech News Micron is planning to increase memory prices, though it's not saying by how much or when.

Indeed, they don't have fact models. They're stuffed full of words and the associations between those words, and then told not to use certain of those words, a process called lobotomisation alignment.

Ex-CEO Anne Wojcicki - yes, the sister of Susan who ran YouTube for years - is planning to make a bid for the remains.

(Futurism) Commercial AI companies are laser-focused on making their AIs bigger, rather than understanding what they are doing or making something that works at all.
