Daily Tech News 28 May 2024

Top Story

Elon Musk's xAI has raised $6 billion in funding from people hoping to cash out before the bubble bursts. (Tech Crunch)

Okay. It's still garbage, but it's competition for the communists running OpenAI and Google.

Tech News

Stop making brightly coloured toys, say anti-waste reasearchers. (The Guardian)

If everything is grey and nobody buys anything, we will all lead happier, more fulfilling lives.

Somehow.
AMD's Zen 5 could be launching in August and on sale in October. (WCCFTech)
Or it could be available in retail stores by July. (WCCFTech)

Those stories were posted twelve hours apart.
Big Data is dead. (Mother Duck)

A decade ago, all the noise that now surrounds AI was about Big Data - querying petabytes of garbage to get bytes of gold.

Turns out there was no gold, and in most cases, not even any petabytes. The typical large company has 100GB of analytical data, with some going up to a terabyte or so, which will fit easily on a cheap consumer SSD that can deliver a million IOPS.
Medical research into ultra-processed food has tripled since 2020. (Ars Technica)

Has it found anything?

Well, no.
Specs have leaked for Motorola's next-gen G85 phone. (Notebook Check)

I have a Moto G54, one step down in the previous generation. Great phone. Does everything I need. Cost about $120.

Disclaimer: There is no fork either. I think all our cutlery is in the dishwasher.
