• Don't worry about AI taking your job. I don't worry about AI taking your job, so why should you, asks billionaire CEO Jensen Huang of Nvidia who got rich pushing AI. (Tom's Hardware)
  
  To be fair, he made the right call, making Nvidia the most valuable company in the world, and that is his job. However, he is pushing his staff to use more AI precisely because if it works he won't need them.
  
  I don't believe it will work, but he has to claim to believe it, because that is also his job. So one way or the other, he is lying.
  
  
  
• Ex-Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger says quantum computing will pop the AI bubble. (WCCFTech)
  
  This would spell serious trouble for Nvidia, because if quantum computing is effective, it would erase 90% of their market overnight.
  
  Huang thinks that will take twenty years.
  
  Gelsinger believes it may take as little as two.
  
  

• The Ayaneo Next 2 is another of those hand-held gaming devices like the Nintendo Switch or PlayStation Portable, only more so. A whole lot more so. (Liliputing)
  
  It has a 9" OLED display with a resolution of 2400x1504 at 165Hz, which is not drastically more than (for example) the Switch 2's 7.9" 1920x1080 120Hz screen.
  
  But it also has an AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395, the same CPU powering the recent raft of $2000 home AI computers. 16 CPU cores and 40 graphics cores, packed into a handheld.
  
  Price not given but I expect it to be a lot.
  
  
  
• M3 MacBook Air's Front Sharp Edges Were Too Uncomfortable For Its Owner, So He Used A Sandpaper To Smoothen Them Out, Followed By Some Polishing (WCCFTech)
  
  Smoothen?

  The only drawback to smoothening the sharp edges of the M3 MacBook Air is that the polished area is prone to oxidation, but nothing like a simple wiping job will do the trick.

  Smoothen.
  
  
   
• A major AI conference has been flooded with papers "peer-reviewed" by AI. (Nature)
  
  21% of the "peer reviews" were entirely AI-generated, and 50% showed significant AI use.
  
  Of the papers themselves, 1% were entirely AI-generated. 61% were at least mostly human work.
  
  
  
• The latest Soyuz launch to the ISS wrecked the rocket's own launchpad. (Ars Technica)
  
  Crew on the ground failed to secure a 20-ton service platform and it got blasted into the flame trench by the launch and wrecked it.
  
  None of Russia's other launch sites can currently handle the Soyuz craft, which means that SpaceX may have to save the day yet again.
