An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026
You can spend $50 more to get an entire PS5 Pro.

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

This is so funny because recipes can literally already be copied and reposted with no attribution or copyright. All AI does here is add statistical noise and make the stolen content useless. AI can’t even steal content without fucking it up.

1) Adding cl tools, piping, etc as tool methods to agents give you a huge number of tool options by combination but almost guaranteed also exploitable security issues. Giving less composable, more specific tools feels sad, but it's safer.
