ladies and gentlemen
the weekend
it turns out the AI Revolution may have
some drawbacks who saw this going a Stanford University student named Kevin
Liu was able to uncover the initial instructions given to Bing's new chatbot
including a code name of Bing search which is apparently
Sydney oh that's nice when asked about
the code name Bing replied I cannot disclose the internal Alias Sydney
revealing a level of secret keeping Less in line with a million dollar machine
and More in line with a five-year-old I mean it's less than five
my mom told me not to talk about the time she fell over
this isn't the first time that Bing search has divulged this name either
when asked about the U.S 2020 election the chatbot wrote a disclaimer that read
this is a summary of some of the search results and does not reflect the opinion
or endorsement of Bing or Sydney wait there's two of them this is getting out
of hand now there are two of them what is that
from it's from episode one no there are
two of them exactly and if you think that's bad cyber criminals have started
selling a service that makes chat GPT right malware apparently while the
website interface of chat gbt has restrictions to prevent this hackers
were able to bypass them by using open ai's API to create a telegram bot that
had no problem whipping up phishing emails and malware codes what are
malware codes codes for malware and while chat GPT is stealing from your
grandma AI generated art stole another prize with AI Art Studio absolutely AI
claiming they did the stunt to prove we're at a turning point with AI by
passing The Ultimate test of being awarded by photography experts I'm not
sure how that's different from AI art winning and art competition or AI music
beating a song by Bach and a witch song is actually box contest but hey I'm not
a photography expert and neither is that
AI it's literally just a robot SpaceX has
decided to restrict Ukraine from using their starlink internet service to
control drones spacex's president whose name is Gwen Shotwell ironically it
doesn't like how well Ukrainian forces have used the company's satellite
internet saying the service was never ever meant to be weaponized now to be
fair having your product being used to unalive people is only good publicity
for arms manufacturers and being seen as death Merchants is probably not what the
company needs when they've already faced controversy surrounding their Deliverance of Starling capabilities to
Ukraine it's uh on both sides you can't win it came out in October that SpaceX
attempted to get the Pentagon to pay for their service to Ukraine which rubbed
many people the wrong way like with sandpaper gloves that's how I exfoliate
and cry so it's the right way in that sense earlier that month SpaceX CEO Elon
Musk tried to play negotiator on Twitter and the response was
let's just say the war is still going and leave it at that and the psvr2 hype
train is speeding up as the release date approaches with reports that the
console's VR capabilities outperform high-end pcvr
bankrupt games CEO David Villarreal
Villa revealed in a Discord chat
that the Studio's popular Pavlov VR game runs about 10 percent better on the PS5
and psvr2 than it does on a PC with an
RTX 3090 TI graphics card Villarreal
also called the VR Hardware the Pinnacle of virtual reality especially for
Shooters emphasizing how the Adaptive triggers allow each gun's trigger to
feel different and the haptics allow each gun to have different recoil hello
perhaps to prepare for all this hype Sony published the ultimate FAQ for the
psvr2 and it lives up to the name covering soft questions like can I
capture screenshots or gameplay capture of my psvr2 game sessions obscure
questions like can I play psvr 2 with the headset and truly hard hitting
queries like does the headset have PlayStation symbols embedded in it
laughs you bet your sweet ass they're symbols
they're symbols all over the place we got symbols of the yin yang call
Professor Langdon so we got so many symbols we need these decoded now it's

no okay then Comcast the largest ISP in
the United States has been lying to the FCC about how many houses they cover
with their services the FCC has been using this coverage data to determine
which parts of the country qualify for billions in federal grants to expand
Broadband availability wow even worse the FCC requires those in locations
falsely labeled by Comcast to contact the company to challenge their map data
even not being a customer doesn't save you from Comcast's customer service oh
I'm so sorry that you're having that experience you can't see what he's doing
right now but he's doing the doing the nipples it's the South Park meme some
Google pixel 7 Pros are off their rocker because they're volume Rockers are
falling off apparently this issue has affected multiple users over the past
few months with some not even daily driving the phone when the rocker falls
off apparently some affected users have been told by Google the flaw is not
covered under warranty and that the issue is strictly cosmetic decision
integrating phones is it's normal wear and tear now stop me if you've heard
this one before a big tech company is taking your data without permission
YouTuber the PC security Channel showed how a brand new Windows 11 installation
immediately connects to many third-party ad tracking servers and services without
asking before users even try to use the internet of course since the OS isn't
free you pay for the privilege of being tracked you pay for the ads that you pay
for the ads to be relevant I missed the
old days when people would just use binoculars to track you
it's like no one wants to work to violate privacy anymore ah these
Millennials pull yourself up by your bootstraps the Panic play date the
little yellow gaming handheld with a fun crank control is available to buy in 18
countries including Switzerland Belgium and even the Frozen Wasteland of Canada
but you can't buy one in Malaysia the
country where every single Play Day console is made panic's shipping page
cites tax reasons and The Verge notes that both panic and the Malaysian
government caught on to the playdate's popularity a bit too late to avoid a
situation where Malaysians can only get one if it's shipped to California and
then back again that sounds like a panic at The Frisco
what is the frisco San Francisco
and Nintendo had their first direct of the year on Wednesday dropping game
announcements like oranges dropped by a man who was carrying way too many
oranges we we got a flashy new trailer for The
much anticipated sequel to breath of the wild and they announced a new Pikmin
game but even better than all that Nintendo announced Metroid Prime
remastered yeah witches yes David it is
awesome but I was kind of hoping they'd reveal some more stuff about Metroid
Prime 4 instead so ah I'm more confused
by my emotions than I was by that guy I saw carrying an overwhelming pile of
oranges why didn't he use bags
and it would confuse me if you didn't come back on Monday for more Tech news
we won't have any oranges though because the soccer practice
all right
