The past year was easily the most interesting I’ve covered in more than a decade on the tech beat. We witnessed legitimate technological breakthroughs, the breaking and reformation of OpenAI, the ascent of Nvidia, the fall of SBF, and wild, Big Tech-driven swings in the stock market. Next year might top it. The tech industry has poured so much money and effort into generative AI that new models and products will soon flood the market.
