  • Foreign I'm Jared and this is Changelog News for the week of Monday, January 6, 2025.

  • Well, how did your 2024 exit?

  • Did you close open file descriptors, delete temporary files and free allocated memory?

  • Or was it more of a SEG fault and core dump to of a finish?

  • Me?

  • I'm still holding on to a couple of loose threads, but I managed to return zero and I'm ready to execute again.

  • So let's get in to this week's news.

  • 10 big predictions for 2025 Tech journalist MG Siegler goes way out on a limb with some big predictions of things that could happen this year, one of which he believes actually has a chance.

  • Here's his list with all of his reasoning removed.

  • Because why not, right?

  • Number 1 Apple buys an AI company.

  • Number 2 Someone buys Warner Bros.

  • Discovery.

  • Number 3 Intel gets bailed out Number 4 Elon Musk bails on the White House.

  • Number 5Amazon's Alexa overhaul proves less than remarkable.

  • Number 6 Microsoft and OpenAI kiss and make up or breakup.

  • Number 7 Nvidia comes back to Earth a bit.

  • Number 8 Threads passes X Twitter in active users Number 9 Google starts to feel real pressure on search and number 10 Mark Zuckerberg unchained.

  • Of course, MG does defend these predictions in the blog post which is linked.

  • Some of these sound not too outlandish to me.
