Top Story

CEO of smartphone company Nothing, Carl Pei, says that we will soon see the operating system and AI take over from traditional applications because large phone makers are clueless and cannot innovate. (9to5 Google)

That... Makes no sense.

Tech News

Panasonic is ending support for VGA port in its laptops. (Tom's Hardware)

You'll only get USB4 and HDMI.

VGA ports are getting scarce enough that this isn't much of a problem. If you have a projector or something that takes VGA, attach an HDMI adaptor to it and just leave it there.
Why the original Macintosh screen had a resolution of 512x342 pixels. (512pixels)

Because.
Asus is planning to market laptops with either free AI or no AI at all because nobody is prepared to pay for it. (The Register)

Someone finally noticed.
AI may have already peaked. (The Register)

AI needs non-AI data to learn from. If you feed it data generated by AI, it focuses on specific facts to the exclusion of reality - patterns in the learning algorithm reinforce patterns in the previous generation of output - leading to a state called model collapse where it goes insane.

And the internet is flooded with AI slop, so filtering it out at this point is prohibitively expensive.
