DONATE TO TECHONION: Because Our Subscription Fee is Still Less Than Google AI UltraSupport our ongoing coverage of tech industry chaos by donating to TechOnion. For just a fraction of what you'd pay for Google AI Ultra, you can fund journalism that calls out the emperor's new clothes, no matter how many terabytes of storage they come with. We promise to maintain consistent branding for at least 18 months, which is apparently 17 months longer than most Google products. Plus, unlike certain tech giants, we won't store 30TB of your personal data—mainly because our servers are just three Mac Minis duct-taped together in a closet. Donate any amount, and we'll send you our exclusive "I Understood a Tech Conference and All I Got Was This Digital Badge" virtual sticker, which we guarantee will be deprecated within six months.
