In the news this week, OpenAI's Sam Altman says that people are a waste of resources -- like RAM, which he can use better than you. Also, the RTX 5080 16GB might be on its way out of production. In positive news, the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 have both seen major jailbreak updates in the past week or two, making them more accessible than ever. In AI and data center news, Google has unlawfully flattened a forest in Finland and Anthropic has an insane IPO. Finally, in Linux news, Valve has a big SteamOS update with Linux Kernel 7.2 and Bazzite has added more support for handhelds.

CORRECTION:
23:28 - Originally, this included a line (now trimmed) where we accidentally described hard coal as a "percent" makeup instead of the correct gigawatts unit of measurement on this chart. This impacted 5 seconds of the content and was trimmed for accuracy. Our errors page has been updated.
