PC Welt meint, es würde etwas schief laufen mit meinem adBlocker. Ich sage: Der macht genau was er soll und funktioniert hervorragend. Vor einer Woche hat er euch auch noch nicht gestört. Und ich kann auch nix dafür, daß ihr Werbung "falsch" integtiert.
Darauf kann ich nur mit einer Maßnahme reagieren 🤷♂️
Btw.: Ich würde für einzelne Artikel zahlen. Aber vlt. nicht auf PC Welt 😇🫣

Meanwhile, OpenAI is advancing its AI hardware strategy with plans to launch a custom-designed AI chip in 2024, fabricated by TSMC using 3-nanometer technology to reduce reliance on Nvidia. Initially deployed on a limited scale, the chip is designed to optimize AI model performance, with OpenAI’s expanding chip team already working on future iterations with enhanced capabilities.
