Five Things Tech: Microcuts, CRISPR, Twitter, Microsoft, Telegram
Tech is just amazing. And sometimes really bizarre.
This week on Five Things Tech: a hodgepodge of articles. Haha.
Sorry, my interests this week were not really that focused. Still, I think the topics I chose I really interesting, trust me.
Read on, my dear!
Tech’s New Normal: Microcuts Over Growth at All Costs
After all the crazy hiring in the last decade, this is now the new normal for tech. I assume things will get back to the old normal as soon as AI gets out of the hype and into a productivity phase. It’s not that the AI jobmarket is not overheated right now, but it’ll get crazier soon.
‘Breakthrough’ CRISPR Treatment Slashes Cholesterol in First Human Clinical Trial
This is amazing, but also a bit weird and scary. For a lot of people this means a lot of hope.
Twitter Is Worth More to Elon Musk Dead Than Alive
I used to like Twitter a lot. X not so much. The richest man in the world acts like a total lunatic and tries to become the victim in the downfall of Twitter. It’s just not working out, as we see how he runs the company into the ground.
Even After Freaky Friday, Microsoft is Still the AI King
I have to admit that Microsoft is really racing along here. Let’s see in which direction the new OpenAI will evolve.
How Telegram Became the Center of the Internet
Do you use Telegram? I find it a really weird space with lots of interesting and also lots of disturbing content.
That’s all for Five Things Tech this week!
