Have chat GPT make it interesting.

I don’t know why but this makes me picture some dusty old-school newsroom with that one guy in all the TV shows smoking a cigar acting kind of like an asshole, and he looks up from the rough draft and while pointing at it with the cigar half-yells “have ChatGPT take a crack at it, maybe it’ll spice things up!”
Oh, finally a computer chip capable of running my code.
Look at you, using your noodle
Ehh. Old 8-bit machines had no trouble with the veritable Gordian knots written by kids in their bedrooms back in the day, so any chip's gonna be fine.
That's not to say this chip wouldn't run it better...
And we'll never hear anything about it ever again.
Maybe we will, maybe we won't, but at least it's tech news for a change. 😄
I thought the same thing about soft, bend-able screens. But that became a fairly big thing.
What is the next big thing you're thinking will fail? I gotta invest some pennies
I'm pretty sure this internet thing is going to turn out to be a fad.
quantum computing once they break meaningful encryption, not 2 bit RSA. it'll be super overhyped, become super important, and then it'll settle down a bit once everyone switches to new encryption algorithms
Just like with cancer vaccines, fusion and certain incurable viral vaccines
The one advantage we have over the machines is that their chips are destructible. Can we stop this research?
No worries. This chip we can just eat.
We can start farming these computers to feed our ever growing population. We just need to build a simulation they can live in, so they don't get stale.
This is all just so when the police show up you can't just smash your phone.
"almost" indestructable, i bet some sort of acid or lava could do the job if not a diamond laced sanding wheel.

The factory must grow.
At last, hardware built to run my code!
This is interesting in a "how far can you launch a pumpkin using an air canon" way, not a "you only need to cool this down to -40C to make it super conduct" way. It's a fun experiment with nearly zero practical purpose outside of some very niche edge cases. Wearable computing is probably the only realistic one at the moment for a CPU that you can stretch a little and runs incredibly slow.
Wearable computing is a huge market if you can literally embed this into clothing.
Massive
I compute-a da meatball
2095: Humanity finally succumbs to the “almost indestructible” Flying Spaghetti Monster machines
Please please please please please be the thought child of a member if the flying spaghetti monster religion
That's kinda interesting. My first thought on seeing that image, though, was 'ramen + autism = good!'
So....
What's your spaghetti policy here?
By stretchy do they mean slightly less brittle and thus slightly more impact resistant? Not that this is a problem we need solving. The biggest issues we need to solve in technology are batter and glass
Oh wow how are they gonna kill women and children with this wonderful discovery
Certified idiot
they should put that in clothing, there's probably tons of medical uses for this
Another win for the AI robots
