Hugging Face has announced a new robot duck. (The Register)

$13 billion for this?

Tech News

Intel's 270K CPU - an honestly pretty good processor that you definitely shouldn't buy - is now down to $200, putting it at the launch price of its slower sibling the 250K. (WCCFTech)

The 270K and its entire platform will be replaced by the end of the year, and its bargain price is dwarfed by the cost of memory right now.
AI coding tools like Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's Codex installed unowned code inside corporate networks. (Ars Technica)

Text files. These fuckers are talking about text files. Not programs of any kind.

Now there is a real problem in that the text files tell other AI agents to do dumb shit, and the AI agents promptly do it, because they are being run by dumb people.

Also the first comment on that article calls it out as AI slop itself, which I agree with. Ars Technica has been caught with their pants down and on fire that way before.
A new Twitter has launched, claiming that X abandoned the trademark. (Ars Technica)

Betting you can outlast a trillion-dollar company in court is certainly a choice.
