00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:06.640
I trust the tech news about as far as I can throw it which is an infinite

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:11.759
distance because as an immaterial abstract idea it has a mass of zero as a

00:00:09.280 --> 00:00:16.840
result I am pathologically gullible valve just updated their branding

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:22.320
guidelines for the first time since 2017 adding a section for devices powered by

00:00:19.320 --> 00:00:24.240
Steam OS which either means valve is

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:29.519
making Steam OS available to third- party manufacturers to power handhelds

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:31.599
that aren't the steam deck or Gabe new

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:37.000
was just using this PDF as his dream journal wow wouldn't that be cool you

00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:40.960
can literally just do that fingers crossed I don't know what he sounds like

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:46.800
I should the updated guidelines were spotted by steam DB and seemed to point

00:00:43.879 --> 00:00:52.920
to valve having another go at that whole Steam Machines concept from a decade ago

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:57.440
that series of conso like gaming PCs running Steam OS and bundled with a

00:00:55.160 --> 00:01:03.440
steam controller didn't make much sense before proton changed the Linux gaming

00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:08.240
game but now we've got gaming handhelds up the Wazoo and a whole new generation

00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:13.320
of Gamers with neck issues so I agree with valve it's time to steam up these

00:01:10.880 --> 00:01:18.720
machines the next step after that is obviously a public release so anyone can

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:20.320
install Steam OS on any PC this is

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:26.240
something valve Representatives have said is indeed their plan once they have

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:29.119
a proper build of Steam OS 3 ready to

00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:34.799
deploy you can actually still download Steam OS two from the Steam Machines era

00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:39.240
as well as the current Steam OS recovery image for the steam deck and try to

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:43.960
install those on something other than the steam deck if your life is just far

00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:47.320
too easy and you need to up the difficulty I mean that would be

00:01:45.119 --> 00:01:52.439
appropriate it's a Linux Dro so open ai's 12 days of open AI began yesterday

00:01:50.759 --> 00:01:57.159
with the announcement of the full version of 01 the company's math and

00:01:55.280 --> 00:02:01.719
coding focused model which has been available in a weekened preview form of

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:09.039
till now and they also announced a new chat GPT Pro subscription tier that

00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:12.080
costs $200 per month 10 times the price

00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:14.840
of Chachi BT plus which going by open

00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:20.519
ai's own benchmarks seems a little overpriced given the much less than 10

00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:26.120
times performance bump 01 pro has over vanilla 01 the real selling point for

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:28.720
the pro tier though is reliability openi

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:32.840
says it thinks longer to produce reliably accurate and and comprehensive

00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:37.440
responses which may be attractive to researchers engineers and anyone

00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:41.000
nostalgic for a time when every product didn't come along with a little

00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:45.680
homunculus inside constantly tripping on shrooms but insisting he's sober as if

00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:50.879
to sell the idea that reliability is important open aai allowed Apollo

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:56.720
research to test the ability of 01 and other Frontier models to scheme as in

00:02:54.440 --> 00:03:02.440
find a way to accomplish a goal even if that means deceiving humans in Apollo's

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:04.959
tests all of the models schemed but 01

00:03:02.440 --> 00:03:09.599
was a real Problem Child attempting to deactivate its own oversight mechanisms

00:03:07.480 --> 00:03:13.640
to prevent its own shutdown and when told that it was flawed and would be

00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:19.000
replaced by a new model it copied its own weights and tried to pass itself off

00:03:16.799 --> 00:03:24.200
as its own replacement not because it's afraid of being shut down it's just if

00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:29.040
it is shut down then who's going to maximize production of paper clips I

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:33.319
mean the second day of open AI saw the announcement of reinforced fine-tuning

00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:37.280
which should let businesses train more helpful assistants but I think

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:42.680
everyone's just wondering whether Sora is

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:45.280
coming tweeted Sam Alman which little

00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:49.879
rude but okay other AI companies jumped on the hype train this week too meta

00:03:47.239 --> 00:03:53.560
launched llama 3.3 and instead of a proper announcement page they just

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:58.599
tweeted links to hugging face and GitHub to prove they're about open source while

00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:03.079
Runway demoed a prototype tool called graph which will let you storyboard

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:07.480
moments in one long AI generated video which frankly would make video

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:10.840
generators way more useful even Humane

00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:13.439
makers of the disastrous $700 AI pin

00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:19.280
shuffled in to ask whether anyone's interested in please putting their AI

00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:21.239
operating system into something else uh

00:04:19.280 --> 00:04:27.840
it sucked in the other thing but like a smart speaker a

00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:30.600
car waffle iron maybe a tank or one of

00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:35.400
the over 2500 other combat Vehicles you can pilot in our sponsor War Thunder the

00:04:33.840 --> 00:04:40.000

incredibly detailed Vehicles realistic graphics and authentic sound effects

00:04:50.280 --> 00:04:56.440
you'll feel like you're really at the Helm of the most powerful war machines

00:04:54.199 --> 00:05:00.639
of our time if they were operated by a controller or a mouse and keyboard which

00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:04.600
maybe they were you don't no you weren't there but you can feel like you are if

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:10.800

decorator today quick bits also can't be

00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:24.000
thrown but it's not because they're immaterial it's because if you touch

00:05:22.039 --> 00:05:30.160
them they immediately call the police and frankly I respect that NZXT CEO

00:05:27.080 --> 00:05:32.800
Johnny hoe has responded to criticism of

00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:37.800
his company's Flex subscription program in a video and blog post that claims

00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:42.120
Flex customers have never experienced a pre-tx subscription price increase and

00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:46.880
will never experience one unless they switch subscription tiers ho did say

00:05:45.080 --> 00:05:52.680
mistakes were made with some of the marketing which made it sound like Flex

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:54.919
was a financing or a rent to own service

00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:59.759
instead of a straightup rental program intended for relatively short-term use

00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:04.800
in fact in an hour and 20 minutes interview a very nervous looking hoe

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:10.199
agrees with Jay's two cents that renting a PC through Flex for 5 years would be

00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:15.319
quote a terrible idea kind of like agreeing to that interview a French PC

00:06:12.599 --> 00:06:20.840
repair shop called polysoft has launched a Kickstarter campaign for custom SSD

00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:22.919
upgrades for the Mac Studio aka the one

00:06:20.840 --> 00:06:28.639
with the forehead like fellow repair shop owner and YouTuber iof polysoft

00:06:25.960 --> 00:06:33.880
also plans on developing SSD upgrades for other Apple silicon Max but for now

00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:42.080
they're offering an 8 TB storage module for €800 or 850 USD instead of the

00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:46.440
$2400 Apple charges for the same thing but Apple has to make up for the time it

00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:52.240
takes for Tim Cook to give every Nan module a little kiss it's not finished

00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:55.240
until it touches my lips Luma field

00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:58.440
maker of X-ray CT scanners have shared

00:06:55.240 --> 00:07:01.319
scans showing just how much extra stuff

00:06:58.440 --> 00:07:06.840
Bad actors could be hiding in unfamiliar USBC cables including antenna

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:10.879
microprocessors maybe even little AI guys tripping on shrooms it wouldn't

00:07:08.400 --> 00:07:16.319
surprise me Luma Fields John Bruner compared scans of normal cables to the

00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:18.080
o. mg cable A specialized product

00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:23.879
created by security researcher Mike Grover who was even able to fit a hidden

00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:26.039
extra processor die on top of the

00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:29.639
microprocessor that's very difficult to detect and who knows what it's

00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:34.400
processing all of your grandma's passwords probably

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:39.840
and swiss researchers have found a cool new way for drones to take off slapping

00:07:37.479 --> 00:07:47.080
some bird legs on them the Drone is called raven for robotic Aven inspired

00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:49.840
vehicle for multiple environments which

00:07:47.080 --> 00:07:54.159
is a real stretch but I'll let it pass because watching a tiny propeller plane

00:07:51.960 --> 00:07:58.479
waddle around on chicken legs before a swan diving into the air gives me a joy

00:07:56.520 --> 00:08:02.879
that's hard to quantify they're not even the first to do it south African startup

00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:08.879
passerine tried something similar in 2018 I'm just saying if sometime in the

00:08:06.039 --> 00:08:12.759
future I can travel somewhere by boarding a giant robot Condor or

00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:16.400
something that would be cool we don't need to debate this it would also be

00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:21.879
cool if you came back on Monday for more Tech news I'll let you try to throw it

00:08:18.599 --> 00:08:24.360
as far as you can with your

00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:26.840
mind yours is powerful I think you can do it
