Too many things happened in the tech industry this year to make little sense. It was as if we were controlled by a random number generator that rules the whims of the tech industry. The result was multiple “biggest news of the year” events in one month, all completely disconnected from each other.
I can’t help but think about a really good tweet I saw last month summarizing this year’s absurdity. The social media giant usually lays off 13% of employees could easily be the top story of the week, but this was its moment. FTX goes bankrupt and everyone was Spoofed corporation Because Elon Musk somehow didn’t think things could go terribly wrong if someone could buy a blue check… oh good times.
When I say we feel like we’re living in a simulation, what I mean is, hearing about the latest tech news, someone throws a few words into their hat, picks a few, and points. Of course, that’s not what’s actually happening.But would you believe me if in January, Twitter owner Elon Musk surveyed a user and said he decided to Donald Trump’s lifting of the ban?
These ridiculous happenings in technology have consequences. Cryptocurrencies will collapse like FTX bankruptcy, US scandal It hurt real people who invested a lot of money in what they believed was a good investment. Having said that, it’s interesting to think about how you reacted. billions of dollars every quarter To build virtual reality technology that no one seems to want. But these management decisions are no joke for employees who have lost their jobs because of those choices.
where does this leave us? We are at a moment in the history of technology where nothing is too absurd to be impossible. It’s both exciting and terrifying. A team of Amazon Fulfillment Center employees in Staten Island win union elections, succeeded in asserting itself in the face of tremendous adversity.it is also possible Elon Musk buys Twitter at $44 billion.
AI technology like stable diffusion When Chat GPT It encapsulates this fragile balance between innovation and horror. It can create beautiful artwork in seconds, but it can also put a working artist’s life in jeopardy. You can ask an AI chatbot to tell you about history, but you have no way of knowing if the response is factual (unless you do more research, in which case you may do your own research from the beginning). I can do it).
But perhaps one of the reasons AI generators have gained mainstream appeal is because they feel almost natural to us. This year’s tech news feels so bizarre that it may have been generated by ChatGPT.
Or maybe reality is actually stranger than anything AI can come up with. I asked him on ChatGPT to write some headlines about tech news.
- “Apple’s iOS 15 update brings big improvements to iPhone and iPad”
- “Amazon’s new automated delivery robot causes controversy”
- “Intel announces new processor line with advanced security features”
Pretty boring! Here are some things that really happened in the tech industry this year.

- the UK Treasury discord account To share the official announcement, it was immediately spammed by people making vulgar jokes using emoji reactions (and for the UK, we’ve had three different prime ministers since September).
These are strange times. Let’s hope that if the rules are made and the points don’t matter, at least if this absurdity continues into 2023, tech news will be more entertaining than harmful.i want more Chris Pratt to voice live-action Mariothe number of technology CEOs is declining sentenced for fraudIs that too much to ask?
