Daily Tech News 29 September 2026

Top Story

OpenAI still doesn't seem to have a handle on all its rogue AI activity. (Tech Crunch)

Because they are idiots.
Nvidia has launched a new platform for reining in rogue AI activity. (Tech Crunch)

A profitable market because people are idiots.

Tech News

AMD (which just passed a trillion dollars in market cap) has used some of that money to purchase Magrathea. (CNBC)

The company is notable for winning an award for its design of Norway.
Yes, we have no brownanas. (The Guardian)

We have no brownanas today.
Ryzen 495 AI workstations have started shipping - with eye-watering prices attached. (Tom's Hardware)

These are Ryzen 395 workstations but come with up to 192GB of RAM. Since Windows likes to keep 32GB to itself, this allows memory for AI tasks to increase from 96GB to 160GB - a 66% improvement.

Unfortunately the state of the memory market makes the new models 200% more expensive.
Anthropic has announced Claude Sonnet 5.5, Opus 5.5's retarded brother. (Anthropic)

Though less retarded than Sonnet 5. Dramatically less retarded in the Terminal Bench test suite, with its score soaring from a miserable 10% to a satisfying 70%, which makes me wonder how much of the improvement was from specifically targeting that one test suite.
