who wants some tech news what but you can't you can't see it you want me to
you want me to okay I'll just move is this is this good more okay I just um I
just I'll come okay right yeah YouTube is taking
its war against ad blockers to a whole another level and experimenting with
serers side ad injection basically baking the ad directly into the video
making it much harder for ad blockers to block the test was spotted by sponsor
block a crowdsourced extension for identifying and skipping bakedin sponsor
segments they set up a server to detect when these ad injections are happening
so sponsor block knows to reject timestamp submissions from affected
users like protecting the rest of the party goers from your drunk friend let
go I want I want to show them this time stamp I it's good it's a good one in a
statement given to Android authority YouTube seemed to confirmed that it is
playing with this particular brand of fire saying it's improving its
performance performance and reliability in serving both organic and AD video
content looping both videos and ads into
one bucket of content in a very inclusive way some people come to
YouTube just for the ads you didn't think about that did you ad block what
about them sponsor Block's FAQ claims that theoretically ad block uh finds a
way that supposed to be the Jeff Goldblum laugh from the helicopter in
Jurassic Park moving on Microsoft has delayed the launch of its controversial
recall Windows 11 feature after users went into fits of Hysteria just because
it would screenshot everything you do on your laptop and store it in a searchable
database that hackers could simply pinch and drop into their hacker tote bag for
convenience that's what they would look like if they they would just be like H
perfect thanks Microsoft that's what would happen they're a sassy Bunch
recall will not be included on cop pilot plus PCS when they launch next week and
will instead be available as a preview feature in Windows Insider program
builds making this unfortunately something less than a total recall
recall that was just for me this all has been pretty hard to watch I mean sure
Microsoft eventually said they' change recall to be opt in and require
biometric signin for each use but they're kind of flippant dismissal of
any privacy risks despite being the $3 trillion user data sucking Gremlin that
they are meant that the introduction of recall is as put by the verges Tom
Warren truly a giant own goal it's
unclear what damage this has done to the company's co-pilot AI brand but it's a
good thing they were already going to remove that co-pilot app that was
quietly installed on Windows PCS that you didn't know about even though
Microsoft said it was harmless oh oh harmless
oh okay Apple's Landmark agreement with open AI which sees chat GP access
integrated directly into iOS 18 reportedly didn't involve any money
Changing Hands sources told Real Housewives of copertino showrunner Mark
German that Apple isn't paying for chat gbt because open AI having access to
Apple's hundreds of millions of devices because they do think of them as theirs
not yours common mistake is worth way more than any deal you could make yes
apple is paying the maker of the fastest service ever to reach 1 million users
other than meta's threads in exposure everyone's been talking about what a
great deal Apple made putting open AI in their place but I'm seeing a parallel to
Google who pays Apple 20 billion a year
to be the default search engine in Safari which would make it seem like
open AI is the one who got the great deal and they can't have both gotten
great deals in an equal exchange that's not exciting at all and by the way how
different is Apple's AI features from Microsoft recall anyway I mean Apple
does have a better reputation for privacy and they are primarily using
their own Foundation models but shortly after announcing their partnership open
AI just appointed the former head of the NSA to its board of directors and Edward
Snowden says there's only one reason to do that but he didn't say what that is
and chat GPT didn't have any ideas so right so I thought of an even better
idea you should check out our sponsor private internet access their VPN

now is it good okay so a finished
startup is claiming that its special chip can boost the performance of any
CPU by up to 100 times even allegedly
enhancing Legacy code without any alteration now finland's own state-owned
VT research organization is backing the startup but it's still a bit hard to
take the company seriously I mean for starters the chip in question is called
a parallel Processing Unit or PPU for
short I mean sure maybe we're being immature here but the startup's name is
flow Computing uh which means it's
completely factually accurate to say the sentence flow improves computers by
adding a unit to increase
PP and that was a Jacob original
Japan has passed a law similar to the eu's digital markets act and it's
already targeting Apple and Google like the dma it will force Apple and Google
to allow more competition on their platforms like thirdparty app stores
both companies released separate statements saying that they will engage
with Japanese Regulators uh whatever that means what we know for sure though
is that epic is already celebrating and planning to bring fortnite back to iOS
in Japan next year that'll get some engagement all the kids be flossing
again drinking slurp juice I don't know I don't play it Elon Musk will be
getting a record-breaking pay package as the Tesla CEO after it was initially
blocked by a judge in Delaware who thought it wasn't fair to shareholders
the same ones who just approved this pay package proving that that judge should
shut up because she's not their dad at yesterday's shareholder meeting Elon
thanked his shareholders with a passionate hot Dam I love you guys the
same day that a number of Tesla shareholders filed a lawsuit against
musk for publicly claiming Tesla is an AI company while buying AI chips through
Tesla only to send them to his other AI company xai and that's causing damage to
Tesla more than any finger breaking cyber truck flaws ever could the US
state department announced sanctions on Beijing based PC Hardware manufacturer
deep cool on Wednesday after it allegedly sold more than $1 million
worth of goods to two Russian companies known to support the war effort against
Ukraine about a day later UK Tech Outlet
kit Guru published a video tour of deep Cool's main production facility which is
just phenomenal timing I don't know maybe deep cool can take a page out of
huawei's book and avoid sanctions by trading their products for beef they can
then sell for a profit I mean it makes sense defying the US government involves
some serious Stakes wait where are you going I'm wait I'm sorry come back and
multiple Poli policians have announced they'd like to renounce their rights as
sentient beings and serve as Heralds for our new AI overlords Victor Miller who's
running for mayor of Cheyenne Wyoming said he wants to serve as a quote meat
puppet for a chat jpt based bot called
Vic which stands for virtual integrated Citizen and over in England Steve
Endicott will represent AI Steve a
business-oriented voice assistant created by neural voice the company at
which Endicott is the CEO so I can only
hope these men get laughed out of the race but if not at least I can feel okay
about this story in which a real photograph posed as an AI image and won
an AI art contest oh no but the other guys spend all night on finding the
right prompt how does it feel I'll tell you
how it feels just like how I'll feel if you don't come back on Monday for more
Tech news like my cyber truck just broke
my finger because I thought it cared about my well-being but
it's a truck
