X (formerly Twitter): A masterclass in self-destruction<\/h3>\n<p>Elon Musk spent 2024 doubling down on the chaos that turned X into a punchline. Advertisers fled after baffling policy shifts, verified checkmarks became meaningless, and users <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/bluesky-hits-20-million-users-and-counting-watch-it-keep-growing-here\/\">abandoned ship<\/a> for Bluesky and Mastodon in droves. Engagement plummeted, and what was once a cultural institution became a meme of its former self. Musk might still call it &#8220;the town square,&#8221; but in 2024, X was more like the local landfill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/i-tried-replacing-twitter-with-bluesky-threads-and-mastodon-heres-what-i-found\/\">I tried replacing Twitter with Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon: Here&#8217;s what I found<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>2. Amazon: Innovation takes a coffee break<\/h3>\n<p>Amazon&#8217;s five-day return-to-office mandate alienated employees, sparked accusations of &#8220;quiet firing,&#8221; and triggered a mass exodus of talent. Workers who couldn&#8217;t &#8212; or wouldn&#8217;t &#8212; move closer to offices were forced out, and with them went years of expertise and innovation. This was the HR equivalent of smashing a robot with a sledgehammer for a company obsessed with efficiency. Quiet quitting? More like loud mismanagement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/work-life\/82-of-leaders-plan-to-increase-flexible-work-options-in-the-next-two-years\/\">82% of leaders plan to increase flexible work options in the next two years<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure class=\"c-shortcodeImage u-clearfix c-shortcodeImage-large\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_imageContainer\">\n<div class=\"c-shortcodeImage_image\"><picture class=\"c-cmsImage\"><!----> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/tech-winners-and-losers-of-2024-for-every-triumph-a-turkey\/\" alt=\"cybertruck-gettyimages-2151765552\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" fetchpriority=\"low\"><\/picture><\/div>\n<p> <!----><\/div><figcaption> <span class=\"c-shortcodeImage_credit g-outer-spacing-top-xsmall u-block\">UCG\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>3. Cybertruck: Trapezoids of doom<\/h3>\n<p>Tesla&#8217;s Cybertruck finally hit the road in 2024 &#8212; and immediately rolled into a ditch. Recalls for defective inverters, cameras that didn&#8217;t work, and windshield wipers that couldn&#8217;t handle drizzle made the truck a laughingstock. Its resale value tanked, and its polarizing design still looked like a failed geometry assignment. Sure, it turns heads, but only because people can&#8217;t believe it exists.<\/p>\n<p><!----><\/p>\n<h3>4. Apple Vision Pro: $3,500 worth of <em>&#8216;why?<\/em>&#8216;<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/apple-vision-pro-review\/\">Apple&#8217;s Vision Pro<\/a> wowed in demos and dazzled on paper, but in practice, it was a solution in search of a problem.

Intel: Relic of a bygone era<\/h3>\n<p>In 2024, Intel continued to drift further into irrelevance. Its &#8220;AI PCs&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/the-fall-of-intel-how-gen-ai-helped-dethrone-a-giant-and-transform-computing-as-we-know-it\/\">barely moved the needle<\/a>, and the 13th and 14th Gen Core processors &#8212; repackaged versions of last year&#8217;s chips &#8212; left consumers unimpressed. Meanwhile, Arm-based chips like Apple&#8217;s M4 and Qualcomm&#8217;s Snapdragon X Elite set new benchmarks for performance and efficiency. Intel used to lead the charge; now it&#8217;s trailing behind, yelling at the clouds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/the-fall-of-intel-how-gen-ai-helped-dethrone-a-giant-and-transform-computing-as-we-know-it\/\">The fall of Intel: How gen AI helped dethrone a giant and transform computing as we know it<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>6.

AI tools and platforms: Finally living up to the hype<\/h3>\n<p>2024 was the year AI started earning its buzz. Google&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/google-rebrands-bard-to-gemini-now-available-for-the-first-time-on-mobile\/\">rebranding of Bard to Gemini<\/a> came with the release of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/first-gemini-now-gemma-googles-new-open-ai-models-target-developers\/\">Gemma 2 models<\/a>, which gave developers powerful tools and helped Google claw its way back into the AI race. OpenAI&#8217;s GPT series remained the gold standard, tackling everything from legal briefs to code fixes, while Adobe&#8217;s Firefly turned non-designers into creative pros. For once, the AI hype didn&#8217;t feel overblown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/ai-isnt-hitting-a-wall-its-just-getting-too-smart-for-benchmarks-says-anthropic\/\">AI isn&#8217;t hitting a wall, it&#8217;s just getting too smart for benchmarks, says Anthropic<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>2.

The company raked in $35.1 billion in quarterly revenue, a 94% jump, and pocketed $19.3 billion in profit. It also launched Fugatto, an AI tool for generating and remixing audio, and kicked Intel out of the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Open source software: Proving collaboration wins<\/h3>\n<p>Open source thrived in 2024, with AI models like LLaMA 3, Falcon, and Gemma 2 empowering developers to build without barriers. Meanwhile, proprietary overreach backfired &#8212; HashiCorp&#8217;s restrictive Terraform license spawned the popular OpenTofu fork. And while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/open-source-ai-definition-finally-gets-its-first-release-candidate-and-a-compromise\/\">Open Source AI Definition<\/a> (OSAID) sparked debate, it underscored open source&#8217;s growing influence.
