1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,040
misinformation tribalism diseases so

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:09,680
many horrible things going on in the world and you might think tech news wouldn't help with any of that

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:16,800
but companion bills have been proposed in both the u.s senate and congress that

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:21,359
would pressure apple and google to be more open to third-party app stores and

5
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:25,760
side loading like epic games lawsuits against the two tech giants the proposed

6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:30,480
bills hinge on painting apple and google as enforcers of a duopoly on mobile

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:34,960
operating systems and by extension the apps and app stores available to users

8
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:40,719
but no sooner were the bills introduced than a lobbying group called the

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:44,000
chambers of progress

10
00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:45,760
decried them as a finger in the eye of

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,719
anyone who bought a phone for the security of the app store

12
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:55,199
the chamber also noted they don't see any consumers marching in washington

13
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:58,800
demanding dumber smartphones all right where's that i would

14
00:00:57,199 --> 00:01:01,840
i totally would do that can you guess who funds the chamber of

15
00:01:00,719 --> 00:01:06,400
progress yeah it's apple google oh yeah

16
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:10,320
really the bills are in a very early stage so

17
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:14,479
we'll have to wait and see whether apple and google's progressive group is any

18
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:19,520
successful at keeping things just the way they are NVIDIA has revealed that

19
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:23,280
their ceo jensen huang is that correct too

20
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:28,640
has actually been a computer-generated ai construct this whole time i knew it

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:33,680
which is how he always looked equally cool at every major keynote he delivered

22
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:38,880
okay fine jensen is a real person but he was completely cgi during a small

23
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:42,560
section of the keynote for NVIDIA's GPU technology conference back in april team

24
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:46,560
green released a short documentary detailing how they used NVIDIA's

25
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:51,360
omniverse suite of tools to not only recreate a photo realistic jensen but

26
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:56,560
also to painstakingly construct his kitchen and every graphic shown even the

27
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:59,600
powerpoint slides in 3d have you tried to make powerpoint in 3d

28
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:04,399
before i miss wordart here at LMG we're also

29
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:08,399
big into computers so it's only a matter of time before we do the same thing just

30
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:13,680
kidding we're doing it right now i'm a robot and so are you nothing's real

31
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,599
facebook also wants to bend reality but not by constructing cgi images so aren't

32
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,959
they doing that with oculus or something but rather by bullying academic

33
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:29,200
researchers into dropping their investigations of the company's problematic practices last week facebook

34
00:02:26,959 --> 00:02:33,519
banned nyu researchers who were studying how ads can spread misinformation and

35
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,599
this week a firm called algorithm watch was more or less forced to shut down its

36
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:41,840
research into instagram's algorithm after facebook threatened a lawsuit

37
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,760
these stories are made more alarming by the fact that both groups of researchers

38
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,840
reported some troubling findings like the fact that instagram's algorithms

39
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:53,440
encouraged photos that showed bare skin no not your ankles i thought that was

40
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,720
just because everyone liked bear skin that's true

41
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:00,480
uh maybe we don't some u.s senators are now looking into

42
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:04,239
facebook's actions so they might not get away with banning anyone who dares look

43
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,560
into potential problems on the world's biggest social platforms i for one need

44
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:14,400
to know how my mom gets so many likes under photos of like a sunset which happens every day

55
00:03:54,319 --> 00:04:00,000
once in a while a little sister

56
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:05,519
to see it crazy had to deal with some here apple is doing some damage control after

57
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:09,200
announcing those iphone scanning measures from last week craig federicki

58
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:13,439
told the wall street journal that it might not have been a good idea to

59
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:18,479
announce one feature which scans photos about to be uploaded to icloud for child

60
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:22,240
sexual abuse material or csam and a separate feature that would detect

61
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,479
explicit content in the messages app for children

62
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:29,840
i'm not sure that craig is doing anything to calm people's fears about privacy though especially when flag

63
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:34,400
material will apparently go through multiple layers of audit ability

64
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:38,240
that sounds like multiple people looking at stuff craig yeah don't worry about it

65
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:43,759
we'll all make sure that you're very private we'll all take a look it's such

66
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:46,720
a confusing system uh doth my eyes

67
00:04:43,759 --> 00:04:52,600
deceive me or did microcenter actually sell a bunch of rx 6600 xt's at

68
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:58,080
and below its msrp of 379.99 what

69
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:02,160
it might be less of an indication that the chip shortage is completely over and

70
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,400
more a result of china's crackdown on mining which flooded the market with

71
00:05:03,919 --> 00:05:09,759
used gpus but still it's like we've gotten a glimpse of the sun again

72
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:14,479
through the clouds and it reminds me that the sun's still there they're not gonna

73
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:18,880
stay far away though that's true but not today it's very smoky yeah yeah

74
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,160
Gigabyte has responded to claims about two of its power supply models being

75
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:26,320
faulty a story that was deeply investigated by gamersnexus rather than

76
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:30,639
issuing a recall Gigabyte is lowering the percentage range by which the psus

77
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:35,440
can exceed their power load by 10 to 30 percent which is good but not a great

78
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:40,320
response to the fact that half of the psu's gamers nexus tested broke during

79
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:45,039
the stress testing but hey maybe Gigabyte knows that sometimes life is

80
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,960
dangerous and you can't make an omelet without a few exploded power supplies

81
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:54,720
have you ever tried to cook an egg on a power supply that's a good idea

82
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,160
tick-tock has enacted more measures designed to protect its teenage users

83
00:05:56,479 --> 00:06:03,280
including setting videos to private by default for users age 13 to 17 years old

84
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:08,479
they can then choose who can see their videos and 16 to 17 year olds can also

85
00:06:05,919 --> 00:06:13,600
choose who can download their videos yes 16. the year that we as a society have

86
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:17,600
long decided is the age at which one can maturely make a decision about who else

87
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,440
can keep a video of one's self for personal consumption

88
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:25,199
a wonderful time in human history we are living through things are great and the

89
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:29,840
hacker responsible for the biggest crypto heist ever has returned almost

90
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:33,759
all of the 600 million in cryptocurrency they've stole and the platform they

91
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:39,840
stole it from paulie network is so grateful it offered them a 500 000

92
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:44,240
reward for pointing out a hole in its security but the hacker reportedly

93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,639
refused because they apparently made a butt ton of money off crypto already

94
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,280
making this maybe the weirdest most twisty crypto story i've ever heard

95
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:57,919
twisty crypto sounds like a craft beer i don't like

96
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:02,080
beer time to get ourselves a cold one and end this episode come back on monday

97
00:06:59,599 --> 00:07:06,080
for more tech news and i promise it will be refreshing

98
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:10,400
he will be we don't know it's a summer no idea what it's gonna be

99
00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:10,400
papa cap
