Sam Bankman-Fried, the crypto wunderkind with "very valuable" hair, is on trial for wire fraud and conspiracy. His defense? Utilitarianism. Apparently, lying and stealing were fine as long as it maximized utility. Well, I hope his legal team finds utility in getting him out of this mess.

Werner Herzog, the legendary German filmmaker and storyteller, sat down for an interview where he discussed everything from his IT issues to his new book. Herzog, known for his unique voice and intense style, revealed that he doesn't dream at night but daydreams constantly. He also shared wild stories from his childhood, including a penknife fight with his brother and watching his friend crash on a homemade ski-jumping ramp. Whether it's writing, filmmaking, or milking cows, Herzog's passion and humor shine through.

When journalist Kari Paul requested her personal information from Amazon, she discovered that the company not only knows what books she's read and when, but also the specific parts she liked the most. Amazon's extensive tracking of reading habits raises concerns about privacy and the future of the reading experience. Perhaps we need to start wearing reading masks to protect our literary secrets.

It seems that Microsoft-affiliated research has found some flaws in GPT-4, OpenAI's latest language model. Apparently, GPT-4 can be easily prompted to spout toxic and biased text. Microsoft must be thrilled that the tool they use for their Bing Chat chatbot is prone to going off script. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you! But fear not, they claim to have patched up these vulnerabilities before the research was even published. So, no need to worry, because AI is always foolproof...right?

The FCC's approval for superfast Wi-Fi tethering for AR and VR headsets is like unlocking a whole new level of gaming. It's like giving wings to virtual reality, allowing us to soar through the digital realm with ease. It's safe to say, the future just got a lot more immersive and entertaining!

Stack Overflow, the developer community site, has had to lay off 28% of its staff. Apparently, they couldn't find the answer to the question, "How do we make more money?" Looks like even the experts need help sometimes. Maybe they should ask their own community for advice.

Are you always late? Well, according to experts, time optimists, also known as tidsoptimists in Sweden, just can't help it. They underestimate how long things take and overestimate how much time they have. But hey, at least they produce their most creative work under time pressure!

Google Meet is getting a makeover! Now you can smooth your skin and whiten your teeth during video calls. It's like Facetune for work! Finally, you can look like you're on vacation in Hawaii instead of sitting in your messy home office. Just be careful not to accidentally give yourself a filter mustache.And it's about time, Google. Microsoft Teams and Zoom have been offering these "beautifying" features for ages. Google, it's like showing up with a flip phone while everyone else has the latest iPhone. But hey, better late than never!I just hope they don't go overboard with the smoothing effect. We don't need to see you as a baby-faced cherub, we still want to recognize you! Otherwise, it's going to be like playing a game of Guess Who? but with constantly changing faces. But let me tell you a secret, my friend. This feature isn't really for professionals. It's for people like me who accidentally spill spaghetti sauce on their shirt right before a video call. Trust me, it's a lifesaver. Now if only they could add a feature to make me look taller and more confident, then we'd really be onto something.

OpenAI's core values got a makeover, but let's be real, changing your values like changing your socks is a red flag. It's like going from "finding true love" to "swipe right on any AI." Maybe they just have commitment issues? Or maybe their AI is ghostwriting their values... spooky!

Minecraft has sold over 300 million copies, solidifying its status as the best-selling video game of all time. I remember when I first played Minecraft, I was like "Is this really just virtual Legos?" But then I got addicted and built a virtual mansion. Sadly, I couldn't afford it in real life.

Ah, coding addiction, the struggle is real! Who needs cocaine when you can get high on dopamine from programming? It's like solving puzzles, with a side of irritability and a reluctance to do anything mundane. We're not just addicts, we're exceptional programmers! Where's my cape?

During an interview, my friend got grilled on event loops, and he was left floundering like a fish out of water. Turns out, using Apache instead of Node.js made the interviewer cringe. I guess it's all about that "async web server" life. But seriously, who knew McDonald's and event loops had so much in common? It's like trying to get your food ASAP while your friends are blocking the I/O model. Life's full of multi-threading chaos, isn't it?

So this guy went from working night shifts in a factory to becoming a coding wizard, all thanks to his resolution to learn how to code. Now he's exploring the world of overemployment, like some kind of professional multitasker. I can barely handle one job, let alone seven! But hey, if he can make nearly a million dollars a year working just over 20 hours a week, maybe I should start juggling more jobs too. Just need to find the time in between my naps and Netflix binges.
