wait so you're watching my video to
listen to my tech news okay
Intel and ARM have announced a multi-generation agreement to make it
easier for Intel's Foundry services to fabricate ARM-based chip designs it's a
heartwarming story of two intense chip design Rivals getting over their
differences and working together in the service of making more money indeed
Intel shares rose on the news showing that in war there's no winners unless
your side wins now before the protester nerds get too excited about the
possibility of Intel branded processors based on ARM technology the deal
actually involves ARM helping Intel to optimize Intel's Fab processes for
producing ARM-based chipped did I say chipped chips that should make it a lot
easier for companies who do design such chips like Qualcomm and mediatek to hire
Intel to actually make them but if that's too boring for you just recall
that Intel has described plans to produce hybrid ships that combine x86
ARM and risk 5 CPU cores in a single
package it may end up being the swamp water of computer processors but it
would be different and special
like me the RTX 4070 complete with the
architecture named after Ada Lovelace hit shelves tomorrow NVIDIA captured the
Innovative Spirit of History's first computer programmer by releasing an
arguably overpriced GPU with only modest
spec upgrades over the previous generation at 5.99 or 600 USD NVIDIA
says the car provides 1.8 times the performance of the RTX 3070 which
launched at a price of 100 less oh but
that 1.8 x jump only applies to games that support NVIDIA's DLS has three
frame generation feature it's more like 1.3 X in unsupported games very cool
you know that our product launch is gonna go well when the company Community
manager feels the need to wade into Reddit and do damage control before
anyone's even bought one the RTX 470 isn't bad in fact it's really good and
decent value for the money all things considered but that all things
considered includes the fact that NVIDIA is using its dominant Market position
keep discrete GPU prices High even though sales have been dropping since
late 2021 and hit historic lows last
December despite that NVIDIA's Revenue actually increased by 64 percent for
spent year over year in 2022. now you as a gamer might feel slightly a bit ripped
off by that but think about it from NVIDIA's perspective why produce more
gpus and sell them for a fair price when you can just sell fewer gpus and make
that same if not more money now don't you feel silly about perspective Twitter
has recently purchased around 10 000 gpus and higher Talent from Google's AI
focused subsidiary Deep Mind to reportedly develop a new chat GPT rival
this comes shortly after Elon Musk signed an open letter calling for a
six-month pause to all AI development beyond the current capacity of gpd4
which apparently didn't stop the bandwagon so Elon had no choice but to
hop on and try to catch up and can you blame him given recent struggles with
Advertiser retention pivoting Twitter to another business model isn't the worst
idea well I say Twitter but Twitter Inc as a distinct entity no longer exists
according to a court filing in California it has instead been folded
into x-corp a company that has no other notable Holdings so they might as well
just have changed the name and save the paperwork fans of pointless trivia will
note that x.com was the original domain of former musk project PayPal and that
x-corp is a company run by Spider-Man villain the Hobgoblin in the Marvel
trading card game for the Nintendo DS
X is also the name of Elon Musk proposed everything app and I think there's one
of those letters in his kid's name too the everything app is a concept that
does not make sense and never will because a tool that does everything is
one that has been optimized to do nothing the swamp water concept returns

favorite aunt so this next segment is like
five whole kisses LinkedIn is rolling out their own
verification program but it isn't just to give subscribers a pretty little
button next to their name it's to verify you are who you are and where you work
by submitting your government ID and verifying your work email think of a
like verification on Tinder except instead of preventing you from scoring
with a catfish is to prevent impersonators from screwing your entire
career and it's different from Twitter verification because it's free like in
the olden times your dreams are over I mean dreams the game is over Sony will
be ending lab support for game making sweet dreams this coming September which
is kind of surprising given that dreams was released for the PS4 only four years
ago to Great Hopes And Fanfare dreams will still be available for purchase and
entirely playable but it will be migrating to a new server with a per
player data cap for any new content so you can still create anything you can
imagine as long as your imagination is under five gigabytes Universal Music has
apparently told streaming platforms like apple and Spotify to block AI services
from scraping melodies and lyrics from songs that it holds the copyright to and
we do mean told not asked Universal Music is the second largest record label
in the United States with a market share of over 30 percent Universal Music has
also been sending out a massive number of takedown notices against AI generated
songs while it's hard to sympathize with a massive faceless business conglomerate
AI companies probably deserve more than a little pushback for treating the
copyrighted production of artists as a free training database the internet that
means it's free but the artist signed it away anyway they don't own it monitor IO
a company that made a gadget that would continuously monitor your network speed
and Status announced they would be shutting down their business and
monitoring service this month but in some bizarre twist they decided that
customers who bought a product for them should still be able to use it what they are
providing an image that will allow the device to still be run when the
company's server shut down but April fools was days ago
Bizarro land Tim Allen where are you and
the FBI is cautioning against using built-in USB ports at charging stations
in public places like airports and hotels because Bad actors have figured
out ways to infect your devices with malware to access them remotely proving
once again how we can't have nice things or even things like airports the FCC
calls this juice jacking which is not to be confused with that one Reddit post
who instantly regretted reading so stay safe out there use your own Chargers and
avoid coconuts I don't get it either I don't
so make sure you don't avoid coming back on Friday for more Tech news more
ladders and if you do come back we may tell you the etymological origin of the
word news we may make it up but only if we can think of something funnier than
the truth is plural
