Daily Tech News 27 September 2024

Top Story

The Chief Technology Officer, Chief Research Officer, and VP of Research have all left OpenAI this week as Doc Sam "Snake Oil" Altman tightens his grip on the company. (Ars Technica)

The core issue is the change of OpenAI's status from a public benefit company to slush fund for the select few to loot. Altman himself is looking at a $10 billion payday at current valuation.

This is likely a disaster for the company and its shareholders.
As for the researchers fleeing the oncoming catastrophe they are likely to do just fine.

Google is paying $2.7 billion to rehire an early employee who built an AI chatbot years before ChatGPT. (MSN)

Specifically, he left Google and founded his own company, and Google has paid $2.7 billion to license that company's technology with the proviso that he return to work at Google.

The amounts of money being flushed down the drain on this are insane.

Tech News

Wordpress has declared war on Wordpress hosting company WP Engine. (Tech Crunch)

Wordpress itself is open source and anyone can download it and use it, or offer it as a commercial service to their customers.

Apparently the entire fuss is over the use of the letters W and P. Wordpress chief Matt Mullenweg is accusing WP Engine of everything short of serial genocide over those two letters.
HP is adding AI to its printers. (Ars Technica)

We're already not buying your printers, guys. You can stop making them worse.
Speaking of HP the HP EliteBook X G1a actually looks good. (Notebook Check)

It has a Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 375 CPU, a 2880x1800 14" OLED display, and almost the four essential keys (Home shares a key with F12).

No pricing yet.
Why Volvo changed its "EV or bust" strategy. (The Verge)

Because the customers said "okay, bust it is".
There's a five alarm fire vulnerability in every version of Linux unless there isn't. (HackRead)

If you're a sysadmin you might want to drink heavily in preparation for actual useful details on October 6.

6 Evening and morning to all the early risers and late toilers on this consummation devoutly to be wished! Aka "Friday."

Somehow -- I set the alarm and everything, and it worked just now when I tested it -- somehow the alarm didn't go off and I *overslept* by an hour. Canyabelieve it??? A shame, since I can't exercise now. No, really; I was looking forward to my workout today. It was getting breezier and north-windish yesterday evening, actually drier. A shame to waste that.

Anyway, what's happening? How are things in the hurricane's path?

*Seventh*? How many taps with the clue bat do you need to realize this is probably not a good place to live??? If I moved to Wyoming near a bison herd, and I had my house stampeded by them seven times in ten years, I think I'd realize Somebody Was Trying to Tell Me Something.

OK HP, you don't seem to grasp it so let me help you. Here's what we want in a printer:

1. Affordability. Generally speaking, you have that covered.
2. The ability to use ink from any company and not have our printer stop working because we aren't using your brand.
3. The ability to print in black and white even when we run out of one of the other colors.

The fact you cannot grasp this leads me to believe that your sales team is basically bots that don't quite understand people.

92 Campaign season has become intolerably long and even more lie filled than in the past. Happy to have other pursuits to keep me away from the 24hr news/bullshit. During football the other day a john tester commercial aired and I had to keep myself from throwing a brick at my tv. I hope that asshole loses and loses big.

96 Tis indeed Friday here in the Adirondacks. Last night was downright chilly, nearly a frost night. Oak trees are beginning to drop leaves and more fall signs are showing in the maples.

Once again, may all your effort today be greatly beneficial and may the leftwits among us suffer great consternation.

Putting an injection grief into a post on your own website just for a laugh.

99 And another hymn by Charles Tindley who had some big troubles in his life. (Take Your Burden to the Lord) and "Leave it There" Orchestral Music and Lyrics

And that's what I am going to do today.

Prayers for the people in the storm and others with big burdens today. May the Lord lead you out:

102 The vulnerability is in CUPS. Which is installed and active by default in most distros of Linux because they're trying to be all things to all people (print clients and print servers). Send the right kind of UDP packet to a CUPS server and you can execute arbitrary code as root. Yeah, it's bad.
