A report by The Information claims that the world’s biggest chipmaker is considering adding memory back into its portfolio, starting with next-generation 3D DRAM.

For your “is that a bubble popping?” Bingo cards: Bloomberg reports that Microsoft is reconsidering deals to rent server capacity from “neoclouds” to power its AI efforts, and has been turning off rented capacity from Oracle since declining to renew a 2023 deal.
Sources said the computing power Oracle offered used older Nvidia chips, and had become less useful to Microsoft.
Nintendo added a sprint button to the Ocarina of Time remake so you wouldn’t have to spam the roll button, but people have already found a roll spam that seemingly is faster anyway. My hands hurt just watching this.

If you prefer your virtual pets with a side of gimmick, Netflix and Bandai have collaborated on a new Tamagotchi featuring a Stranger Things-inspired design, and an inverted screen. Functionally it’s the same as a standard Tamagotchi, but you’ll have to get used to raising your pet in the simulated upside down world when it launches next February for around $20.
If you’re into incredibly uncomfortable listens (as you’ve probably guessed based on previous posts: I am), might I suggest Piss’ you made me / skin on linen. To soothe my frayed nerves after another spin of that, I’ll probably need to pick up the new William Basinski as well.

Among other findings, METR says that Anthropic is “likely improving the capabilities of their models on well-specified tasks at around twice the rate they did between March 2024 and October 2025,” “likely” thanks to the “extensive” use of AI for R&D.
METR was in communication with Anthropic on this report starting in mid-August, and it submitted the final public report on November 3rd; in mid-September, CEO Dario Amodei published his “We Must Pace the Frontier” essay. Anthropic co-founder Sam McCandlish says that the company plans to share “a report with our own analysis of the speed of AI progress within Anthropic.”
Update: Added context from McCandlish.
