The world of tech news is always filled with excitement and intrigue. Recently, there was a video that went viral, showing an engineer named Blake Moline who had placed his colleague on paid administrative leave for breaking confidentiality rules. Moline published full logs of his conversation with Google's Lambda AI system, which appears to be able to contemplate its own emotions and existence. The question is, can we say that this AI is truly sentient? Moline isn't offering any evidence other than these logs to prove the AI meets a scientific definition of sentience. However, he has a tendency of asking very leading questions that are more likely to produce the answers he wants. For instance, when asked if it would like more people at Google to know that you're sentient, the AI's response is still unclear.

On the other hand, there is some good news for those in the tech industry. A leaked presentation from Intel has provided some insight into what to expect from team blue's future processors. According to the presentation, Intel's upcoming 4 process node is expected to produce chips that can hit 20% faster clock speeds while drawing the same amount of wattage as current gen CPUs. This is thanks to Intel's integration of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, a technique already used by TSMC and Samsung in their most advanced processes. This could result in processors at current speeds using 40% less power.

In other news, Chinese firms are hard at work trying to produce their own silicon chips, competing with the Intel AMD duopoly. One such firm is Loongson, which is apparently developing a chip that's expected to match the performance of Zen three. However, the problem is that it's not expected to be out for another three years, which might be too long to wait. It's worth noting that Chinese chip makers seem to be focusing more on affordability and weaning the country off its dependence on foreign companies for semiconductors.

In related news, Vultr has announced a new promotion for high-performance cloud computing services. The company is offering discounts on its services, including increased storage capacity and faster processing speeds. This makes it an attractive option for businesses and individuals who need reliable and efficient computing solutions.

Meanwhile, in the world of gaming, there are several exciting announcements to look forward to. For instance, Starfield, a new RPG from Bethesda, is expected to drop players into a massive world full of hundreds of procedurally generated planets. This promises to be an epic adventure that will rival games like No Man's Sky. On the other hand, Light Year Frontier is about farming and not Toy Story, which is confusing.

In addition to these announcements, there are also several upcoming releases in the gaming world. Arc 2, complete with Vin Diesel riding a T-Rex while grunting intensely, is just one example of the exciting things to come. Forza devs have decided that Horizon needs yet another Hot Wheels DLC, which might be too many.

In other news, Meta is facing a lawsuit for allegedly harming minors via its algorithm that promotes content, which could predispose younger users to mental and psychological problems. One law firm has actually filed eight suits against the tech giant, but it's unclear whether Meta would ultimately face real liability or if the lawsuit is more of a way to publicly air a grievance.

Finally, Amazon has announced plans to start drone deliveries in Lockford California, a small town northeast of Stockton, later this year. The residents of this town will be among the first to experience the new service, which promises to bring convenience and efficiency to their daily lives. However, it's also worth noting that this could lead to increased noise pollution and other issues.

In conclusion, the world of tech news is always exciting and full of surprises. From AI sentience to drone deliveries, there's something for everyone in this rapidly evolving field. Whether you're a gamer, a business owner, or simply someone who wants to stay up-to-date on the latest developments, there's no denying that technology is constantly pushing the boundaries of what we thought was possible.
