But they haven't been very forthcoming about what kind of hardware.
The company did hire engineer Ahmad Abbas back in February,
who previously helped design the Apple Vision Pro.
Midjourney is also continuing to develop AI models
to generate video and 3D environments.
maybe the hardware will be a headset that generates 3D worlds?
Or maybe it's an orb.
Back in January, Midjourney CEO David Holtz replied to a pondering my orb meme on Twitter by saying,
we will make the orb.
We will, we will make the orb.
What does that mean?
I don't know,
but stay tuned for orb.
The best way to stay tuned is to literally stay tuned
by coming back on Monday for more tech news.
Just kidding. I made a horrible mistake.
We're not actually uploading anything on Monday.
Not a talk link, not a regular tech link.
It's a holiday. So believe it or not, we're taking a holiday.
We're taking a day off.
So come back on Wednesday for more tech news, please.
Four score and seven years ago,
there was no tech news.
But if there was,
it definitely wasn't included in any YouTube videos.
They were making videos about the Spanish civil wars,
I don't know.
Being poor.
AMD has confirmed the existence of its Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor,
the successor to the Z1 Extreme,
powering gaming handhelds like Lenovo's Legion Go
and the Asus ROG Ally X.
According to Digital Trends,
in a joint briefing with Microsoft at the IFA 2024 conference,
AMD said they're targeting a release date
of early 2025 for the Z2 Extreme,
which would presumably arrive inside of new handheld devices,
not floating down from the sky with little parachutes
after being shot out of an air cannon.
I don't know who keeps putting that idea in the script.
It's very stupid.
No specs for the chip were given,
but AMD exec Jack Huynh said he wants to play Black Myth Wukong
for three hours instead of the 45 minutes current handhelds can muster.
And Jack, he gets what he wants.
Team Red also said they're working with several partners,
which could include Valve.
The Steam Deck did not use a Z1 chip,
but it did use AMD chips.
So we may see the Z2 Extreme power the Steam Deck too,
or, Valve might follow Acer,
who went with a Ryzen 7 8840HS in their recently announced handheld
and energy drink from 2010, the Nitro Blaze 7.
Intel was having a great week following its reveal of Lunar Lake
as a compelling answer to Qualcomm's Snapdragon X series laptop chips.
But then Intel had to go and mess it up
by announcing it's outsourcing the production of Lunar Lake's successor, Arrow Lake,
to external partners.
It's not a great look,
as the plan has been to manufacture Arrow Lake on the Intel 20A node for years.
But don't worry, Intel found a good way to spin this.
You see, they've had early success on Intel 18A,
which enables them to shift engineering resources from Intel 20A earlier than expected.
We're giving up on our own technology
and outsourcing production to our competitors,
but that's a good thing.
We went for coffee with them.
And they're really, they're not so bad.
They're good guys.
The news is inviting speculation
about whether CEO Pat Gelsinger really is the chosen one,
prophesied to bring balance to the fabs.
According to Reuters,
it's also making Qualcomm consider trying to acquire different pieces of Intel,
like a Vulture planning which giblets is gonna pick off a half-dead antelope
dragging itself across the Savannah.
That's a gruesome image.
Who put this in here?
This is a kid's show.
This is, kids gotta learn.
Death is a part of life.
That's tech news, baby.
The Internet Archive has lost its attempt to appeal the final ruling
from its March 2023 court battle with the Association of American Publishers,
in which the archive's operation as a nonprofit digital library was found to be copyright infringement.
Publishers Hachette, HarperCollins, and Penguin, Random House
sued the Internet Archive in 2020 over its controlled digital lending system.
In the recent appeals decision, the judges ask,
is it fair use to scan copyrighted physical books
and distribute as many digital copies as you have physical copies for free?
As if you're some kind of library or something?
No!
You buy your books like the Founding Fathers intended.
I don't know, we're Canadian.
I don't know the amendments.
Okay, that was close.
Except, like other libraries,
the Internet Archive does buy books,
which, as author Malcolm Harris points out on Twitter,
means they're not really taking sales away from individual authors.
