Seriously? Arm and Meta. *Again*.

Right, so apparently the chip designers at ARM – you know, the ones everyone uses in their phones because they’re efficient or whatever – have decided to get even deeper into bed with Facebook… sorry, *Meta*. They’re throwing a bunch of money (Meta is) and engineering resources (mostly Meta’s, let’s be real) at building custom silicon for AI workloads. Specifically, they want to make chips optimized for Meta’s Llama models and other “generative AI” bullshit.

The whole point? To shove more AI crap into everything. More data centers, more power consumption, more reasons for Mark Zuckerberg to know what you had for breakfast. They’re talking about “next-generation” platforms and “scalability,” which translates to “we want to sell you even MORE stuff.” They’ve already been doing this quietly, but now they’re making a big show of it.

And naturally, there’s talk of open standards. Yeah, right. Open until it’s convenient for them to lock everything down and charge exorbitant licensing fees. Don’t fall for that crap. It’s all about control, always has been.

Basically, prepare for even more AI-powered garbage you didn’t ask for. Fantastic. Just *fantastic*. I need a drink.

Speaking of pointless endeavors, I once had to debug a system where someone tried to use AI to automatically generate error messages. It spent three hours crafting a 400-word poem about a failed disk mount. A *poem*. I fixed it with a single “Disk not found.” and went home early. Humans are still better at this, you know.
