Daily Tech News 16 January 2023

Top Story

BuzzFeed used ChatGPT to write a story about CNET using ChatGPT to write stories. (BuzzFeed)

How did it go?
Note: This article was written entirely by ChatGPT and reviewed by a human editor. (Actually, we had to rewrite the prompt a few times to get it to stop inserting factual errors.)
So rather better than usual then.
Kronii case arrived. I am slightly disappoint that it didn't come in a fabulously Kronii box the way the Bae case did.

Now I have two shiny new computer cases but still zero shiny new computer parts to put in them.
Happy godawful modern sculpture day!

Tech News

Why is there a global shortage of silicon chips? A global shortage of silicon potatoes. (Jabil)

Basically.

Pretty much everything needed to make chips is in short supply - so the chips themselves are in short supply.

Thinking of making myself some dual RP2040 hobby boards. Those at least you can get.
Nope, that's it. No huge security disasters today, no blockchain meltdowns. All quiet.
Too quiet.
