Daily Tech News 1 April 2025

Top Story

OpenAI has raised another $40 billion in funding, valuing the company at $300 billion. (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. (Tom's Hardware)

It's a cyclical business, and the past couple of cycles killed off most of the major manufacturers, so I'm not going to object to them making money while there is money to be made.
AI copilots are not a silver bullet. (M Lagerberg)

Though AI translation software seems much closer. I didn't realise this post was translated from Dutch until I saw the notice at the bottom.

The revolution vs. evolution bit wasn't anything special, though: The words are almost the same in Dutch and the translator only needed to adjust the spelling.
Intel is planning to spin off its non-core assets. (Thurrott)

Though precisely what those are varies from day to day.

Musical Interlude
