The Biggest Tech Stories of the Year
As we wrap up another year, it’s time to reflect on the biggest tech stories that made headlines in 2023. From the rise of AI chatbots to the battles between tech giants, it’s been a year full of surprises and controversies.
GPT-3 and the AI Craze
The explosion of GPT-3, followed by GPT-3.5 and GPT-4, marked the beginning of a legitimate tech craze. AI chatbots like ChatGPT wiggled their way into every aspect of human life, promising to see, hear, and speak like never before. Companies like Google and Microsoft quickly integrated these AI models into their products, leading to a new era of AI dominance.
Nvidia vs. AMD
Nvidia continued to dominate the graphics card market, with AMD struggling to keep up. While Nvidia launched new RTX cards, AMD faced challenges with its value proposition. Intel also made strides in performance boosts, but Nvidia’s focus on AI accelerators propelled the company to near trillion-dollar valuation.
Tech Giants in the Spotlight
From Apple’s iPhone 15 series with USB-C to Twitter’s API changes, tech giants faced scrutiny from regulators and users alike. Meta’s push for open-source models and Reddit’s data-sharing demands generated controversy, while YouTube and Twitch grappled with user backlash over ad policies and platform changes.
The Future of Mixed Reality
While HTC and Microsoft made strides in mixed reality with new headsets and AR innovations, the market continued to evolve. Meta’s Quest Pro faced challenges, while Apple’s rumored VR headset stirred up excitement. The future of mixed reality remains uncertain, but companies are pushing boundaries to redefine the industry.
Conclusion
As we reflect on the tech stories of 2023, it’s clear that AI, graphics cards, and tech giants played a significant role in shaping the year. From AI chatbots to regulatory challenges, the tech landscape continues to evolve, offering both opportunities and challenges for the industry. As we look ahead to 2024, one thing is certain – tech will remain at the forefront of innovation and change.

How am i still using an adblocker app?
Saw someone trying to upgrade their CPU and they believed AI that told them that the i7-12700k would not work for their motherboard, but the i5-12600k would. Was a lot harder than I imagined to convince them that AI could lie.
I don't own a computer, I just like hearing you talk.

The funny part about this was that the segments about Microsoft launching copilot was interrupted by an ad from Microsoft launching copilot for me.
Where does the Tim Cook "Barbara" thing come from? Every time Riley makes a Tim Cook impression he mentions some Barbara, but I've never understood who that is.
