The current AI boom is the crypto boom of recent memory, except without even the benefits of libertarian wish-fulfilment. The "AI bros" are just idiots:

1. Ever wonder what the rest of the Mona Lisa looks like?

No, Kody, I've never wondered what the rest of the Mona Lisa looks like, because there is no rest of the Mona Lisa.

His thread has accrued 6000 quote tweets so far, none of them kind.

Tech News

Corsair has announced new DDR5 memory modules running at 8GHz. (AnandTech)
SK Hynix has announced new HBM3E memory modules running at 8GHz. (AnandTech)

The difference is that DDR5 uses (typically) eight chips to populate a 64-bit memory bus, while HBM uses one chip to populate a 1024-bit memory bus. Which makes it just a tiny bit faster.
ASRock has announced a 55" 8k monitor. (Tom's Hardware)

I've been looking at getting a 65" 8k TV to act as, well, a TV, but also as a computer monitor - though I just checked current prices and they're a complete joke. No, wait, there's one LG model that isn't insanely expensive. Anyway, to serve as a dashboard for everything I do that's legible from across the room and still looks sharp when viewed close-up.

An actual 8k monitor would be preferable, but the very few models available so far are aimed at professional use and cost a fortune.

We'll see how this one fares. With that 55" screen it clearly reuses a panel designed for TVs and should bring costs way down.
Crucial's new T700 is the fasted consumer SSD available. (Hot Hardware)

Though if you try to run it without a heatsink it might slow down a little bit. Where a "little bit" in this case can exceed 99%.

Disclaimer: At least if it causes trouble you can always dispose of it in a vat of molten iron.
