Daily Tech News 23 October 2023

Top Story

It would appear that everyone at OpenAI is either profoundly autistic or sociopathic. (Reuters)

But someone decided to give them billions of dollars anyway.
The sociopath has a name that might rhyme with Pram Praltman. (Washington Post) (archive site)

This is not the first time Praltman has been fired from a company he was running.

Tech News

The third - or fourth? - generation of Dell's Inspiron 16 Plus is here. (Hot Hardware)

It's a little faster than the original model (which I have) but is pretty meh otherwise.
It looks like AMD's high-end graphics cards are now banned in shithole countries too. (WCCFTech)

If you live in Afghanistan, Belarus, Burma, Cambodia, the Central African Republic, China, Congo, Cuba, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Lebanon, Libya, Macau, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, or Zimbabwe, better give up any dream of playing Cities: Skylines II.
Google Bard can now watch YouTube videos so you don't have to. (The Verge)

Okay.
Twitter is going to add headlines back in to embedded news stories. (Tech Crunch)

Maybe one day they will make Twitter embeds work again.
