- USB 4, Series D will be defined, with 3 possible orientations, one each for display, power and data transfer

- Saudi Arabia will release an ethical standards requirement for each of its Western tech company holdings. The exact definition will be confusingly progressive, which will put everyone on guard.

- Google will cancel the Search product, with a press release that expounds beautifully about the future. They claim to be taking it down to bring it back in Q2 2024 powered by a LLM.

- Someone will fork Rust and C and combine them together into something called Crust. This will become wildly popular.

- James Cameron's Avatar 3 will be leaked early by accident, exposing that the movies aren't actually CGI, and all the money has gone to creating a Jurassic Park-style horrible genetic experiment.

- Twitter will have 4 separate CEOs, and end the year as a public non-profit holding.

- Twitter will be then divided like a Roman empire and each CEO will reign different geo region.

This is a joke but maybe it actually is a viable model to deal with geopolitical issues/differences. the “emperor” has overall control and gets paid his “taxes” and the local kings have some autonomy in how to deal with their regions.

But I’m sure this already happens without using medieval metaphors

Given how much local censorship is demanded and how different the rules are, may be not that far fetched.

Users wouldn't notice this though as human users from different regions are gradually being replaced by simulacrum

I'm already 1/6th accurate!

Rust takes the best parts of C.

I guess a lort of people are missing the worst. :)

I reckon at least two of these are going to come true and it will be less funny than your comment when it does.

> Google will cancel the Search product

I wouldn't be surprised if they created a new experimental search product using GPT3: GAIgle.

Hence my suggestion they’d replace it with an LLM ;)

Al Jazeera by Saudi Arabia

https://english.alarabiya.net/ <-- headquartered in Riyadh

You missed my point. Al Jazeera is a hyper progressive outlet that criticizes every other government but their own.

So an ethical standard by Saudi Arabia will be like that.

But AJ is Qatari, not Saudi.

Are you high?

Are you not!?
