This aggressive expansion, with 30% of 2nm production in the USA, signals a sustained boom in AI infrastructure, as reported by TSMC’s official financial statements. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/aTc9ls9yL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>OpenAI’s new ad strategy: because free AI isn’t free enough</strong>: OpenAI is rolling out targeted ads for free and Go ChatGPT users in the U.S., claiming it’s to ‘support continued free access’ and ‘expand affordable AI access globally.’ They assure us ads won’t influence responses and user data won’t be sold. So, they’re just doing us a favor by monetizing our conversations, and we should totally trust their word on data privacy, right? It’s not like they have a track record of prioritizing revenue over their founding mission or anything. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/DQh9IAXNl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-powered coding: the fast track to unmaintainable garbage</strong>: Linus Torvalds dabbled in ‘vibe coding’ with AI for a hobby project, and now some folks think it’s the future. Apparently, it’s great for ‘quick, disposable projects,’ but for anything serious, it leads to ‘maintainability, unpredictability, and quality challenges.’ Research even suggests developers are 19% slower with AI tools. So, if you want to churn out unreadable, unsecure code that nobody can fix, AI is your new best friend. Just don’t expect open-source maintainers to be thrilled with your ‘contributions.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=H6Mp947gD&amp;id=h6ZJabZ0D&amp;id=laMxMdAYV&amp;id=SqdiiasJQ&amp;id=YfWBhNQB7" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google’s AI search: ‘unavoidable’ misinformation, just deal with it</strong>: Google’s AI search is generating false and damaging claims about Norwegian politicians, including accusations of criminal behavior. Google’s response? Errors are ‘unavoidable’ given the scale of the internet. So, apparently, we should just accept that AI will occasionally ruin lives, and it’s not Google’s responsibility to ensure its revolutionary tech doesn’t spread libel. Good to know where the accountability line is drawn: somewhere far, far away from the tech giants. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=507BvKbPR&amp;id=QiN4er8h3" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
