00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.680
welcome to another episode of tech news Siri we know you're watching and you're

00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:11.519
welcome because according to new research from proof news Tech Giants including Apple anthropic and NVIDIA

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:16.480
have been training their AI models using transcripts from Over 170,000 YouTube

00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.560
videos this Trove included work of big internet stars like Mr Beast PewDiePie

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.000
Jack Septic ey and Marquez Brown Lee but also clips from major television shows

00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:29.039
like Jimmy Kimmel Live last week's night and The Late Show with Steven colar

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:34.600
these transcripts weren't taken directly by these companies but were collected by

00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:37.120
a third party nonprofit called elther

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:41.320
elther AI That's a weird combination of letters as part of the pile an open

00:00:39.520 --> 00:00:45.960
source data set intended to help academics and small developers to train

00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:50.199
their own AI models and not as it might sound a giant hemorrhoid the material

00:00:48.199 --> 00:00:53.600
appears to have been scraped entirely without the original Creator's

00:00:51.559 --> 00:00:58.120
permission obviously these transcripts are generated from copyrighted material

00:00:55.879 --> 00:01:02.680
made by human artists with bills and mortgages but as pointed out by marz

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.600
Brown Lee he uses a paid transcription service rather than generated subtitles

00:01:04.600 --> 00:01:10.799
meaning those transcripts are kind of copyrighted squared in addition to

00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:14.640
educational videos from KH Academy MIT and Harvard the database also contains

00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:18.640
materials from conspiracy theorists and Flat Earth videos so don't be shocked

00:01:16.759 --> 00:01:23.159
when you ask directions and Siri gives you a lecture about the danger of

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:26.840
chemtrails The Horizon's a myth three of the world's largest record companies

00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:31.479
Universal Warner and Sony Music have launched a $2.6 billion lawsuit against

00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:35.720
Vari Verizon alleging that the Telecom company has profited from ignoring

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:39.360
widespread piracy according to the suit Verizon should be held liable for its

00:01:37.479 --> 00:01:43.000
decision to continue to provide internet services to thousands of flagrant

00:01:40.960 --> 00:01:46.799
Pirates it's not clear How likely this lawsuit is to succeed given that it

00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:50.880
closely resembles a previous lawsuit by the same plaintiffs against Cox

00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:54.759
Communications that suit found that Cox was guilty of failing to stop piracy but

00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:58.560
wound up overturned on appeal because Cox didn't actually make any money from

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.360
the infringement see while it's obviously true that Verizon makes more

00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:05.280
money if it doesn't Force its paying customers to walk the plank the moment

00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:10.560
they download bit torrent it actually makes the same amount of money whether or not you steal bird demic shock and

00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.519
Terror or you pay for it like a good boy meta has launched a small pilot program

00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:18.800
that will give researchers access to Instagram's own data so they can study

00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:22.480
the app's effect on teenagers and young adults meta is now accepting proposals

00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:26.840
for studies and will accept up to seven submissions one for each deadly sin

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:30.519
however researchers still need to obtain consent from study participants and

00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:34.800
their parents it's still unclear how extensive this information access will

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:39.000
be but it's a notable step given meta's past hostility towards researchers prior

00:02:37.239 --> 00:02:42.560
research has shown a distinct correlation between heavy social media

00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:46.319
use and mental health issues like anxiety and depression especially in

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.480
teenagers what's less clear however is whether the kids are sad because they're

00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:52.920
on Instagram all the time or if they're on Instagram all the time because

00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:56.120
they're sad regardless parents and legislators are concerned and it's

00:02:54.519 --> 00:03:00.080
driving more and more scrutiny from Regulators Tik Tok lost its recent legal

00:02:58.480 --> 00:03:04.120
challenge to the eu's decision to classify it as a very large online

00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:08.120
platform on account of the size of its parent company and because it's the

00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:11.760
social media equivalent of free basing but why spend all your time on there

00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:16.400
when you could hear about our sponsor LG Ultra gear it's Prime day right now and

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:21.360
LG is slicing pricing on their Ultra gear monitors currently you can save

00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:26.040
$600 on their 45 in Ultra gear monitors or knock 200 bucks off a new OLED 32in

00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:30.120
Monitor and even us Canadians get a deal this time though you know sorry to

00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:34.280
everyone else so check out out their website Amazon or just click our links

00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:38.159
in the description if you made it through our main stories but wish they

00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:42.760
could have been slightly quickier congratulations it's the quick pits

00:03:39.640 --> 00:03:45.519
they're here noct's new nhd15 G2 cooler

00:03:42.760 --> 00:03:49.319
is leaving some users rattled specifically their coolers they're

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:52.519
rattling after a report from Hardware Busters and customer complaints Noctua

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:56.680
says they're investigating the issue noctu believes the problem could be

00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:00.640
temporarily fixed by using tape or foam until they find a permanent solution but

00:03:58.200 --> 00:04:06.000
they're also offering full refunds as much as we love to HW Tua for no Tua

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:10.360
it seems that even the beian brown giant can avoid QA issues thankfully Noctua

00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:13.640
has a good reputation for customer support So as they say in the companies

00:04:11.959 --> 00:04:19.560
native Austria you got a problem with Noctua you talk to

00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:23.120
her Google has announced project Oscar an open source platform allowing

00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:26.919
developers to create AI agents to help manage their open source projects for

00:04:25.280 --> 00:04:31.320
example the agent can summarize and highlight relevant information in issue

00:04:29.039 --> 00:04:36.600
reports from users rather than have the AI code which is an awful idea that has

00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:40.520
only ever gone wrong The Hope seems to be that the agents can help with the

00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:43.800
disruptions and toil I guess I don't understand why someone would want to use

00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:47.600
this I'm pretty sure the only reason to maintain an open source project is to

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:51.919
suffer thanklessly while making no money it's a feature not a bug apple is making

00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:57.000
a Squidward Ian attempt to prevent a future where everything is Chrome with a

00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.680
new hitchcockian ad for Safari Apple

00:04:57.000 --> 00:05:01.680
continues to beat the dead horse saying they care about privacy

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:05.400
and we'll keep plumbling the deceased stallion saying they don't care about

00:05:03.479 --> 00:05:09.840
your privacy they just want your data with them in their sandbox also it's not

00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.960
like they've stopped accepting Google's multi-billion dollar bribes to make

00:05:11.320 --> 00:05:16.479
Google the default search engine in Safari at least not until Regulators

00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:20.919
force them to stop also Apple I don't know whose idea this was but maybe you

00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:25.919
should stop feeding your AI videos about birds aren't real they're real they're

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:31.880
glorious oh God he's in on it research and Recovery company RMS Titanic Inc is

00:05:29.039 --> 00:05:36.039
prepared to s remote submers down 12,000 ft to take 3D scans of the wreck of the

00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:40.120
Titanic this is the first mission to the wreck since the implosion of the Titan

00:05:38.039 --> 00:05:43.720
submersible last year but this Expedition is intended to preserve

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:48.199
knowledge for study rather than turn thinking breathing humans into soup I

00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:52.479
prefer to think of it as a chowder in similar news drone manufacturer DJI has

00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:56.759
released highquality footage of Mount Everest taking with a DJI mavic 3 Pro

00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:59.800
now you can travel from base camp to Summit and you don't even have to step

00:05:58.440 --> 00:06:04.440
over the frozen bodies of dead billionaires to get there the FTC has

00:06:02.039 --> 00:06:09.080
said Health can no longer scan your little man with their app Cala it aims

00:06:07.080 --> 00:06:14.720
to be an AI pecker protector that could detect 10 STI that Scourge your corette

00:06:12.400 --> 00:06:18.639
with 94% accuracy that's a one in 20 chance they can screw up identifying a

00:06:16.599 --> 00:06:23.880
bug in your love Slug and that's just the STI you can see turns out the app

00:06:21.479 --> 00:06:28.960
can only accurately detect four diseases between your knes and could be fooled by

00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:32.280
inanimate knob jaacks like phallic vases and pastries I mean that's what I think

00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:38.360
every time I look at a croissant looks like you should block the AI schlock get

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:40.000
a doct to gawk at your penis and doctors

00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:46.639
recommend you get a tri-weekly injection of tech news so make sure you come back on Friday and personally I got something

00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:46.639
I need you to take a look at
