1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,740
the iPhone 15 pro and pro Max have had a

2
00:00:03,060 --> 00:00:09,420
heck of a launch week with users and reviewers alike testing the phone's new

3
00:00:06,779 --> 00:00:11,760
titanium construction and the scores are not looking great they really should

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:15,960
have paid attention in class I'm James strive this is techlinked and this is

5
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:22,680
the repairability score awarded to the iPhone 15 lineup by iFixit 4 out of 10

6
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:25,380
matching the iPhone 14 score after I fix

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:30,180
a downgrade it from a 7. you see the 14 added the ability to open up from the

8
00:00:27,539 --> 00:00:34,380
front or the back but Apple still heavily limits user repair through

9
00:00:32,460 --> 00:00:38,579
software kind of like inviting your friend over to stand in your entryway

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:43,200
but proceed no further I value your friendship this much I get cookies

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:48,059
similar to many early iPhone 15 Pro owners iFixit found the titanium shell

12
00:00:45,540 --> 00:00:52,079
scratches really easily something also discovered by a YouTuber Jerry Rigg

13
00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:56,879
everything shortly before he cracked the glass back of the 15 Pro Max about two

14
00:00:55,020 --> 00:01:01,559
seconds into his bend test it might be time for iphoneers to consider switching

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:05,760
to the pixel 8 Pro when it launches on October 4th Google is now promising

16
00:01:03,899 --> 00:01:09,299
seven years of software updates which should really extend the life of your

17
00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:14,220
phone as long as it doesn't pull a pixel 7 and have its buttons randomly fall off

18
00:01:11,820 --> 00:01:18,240
I mean you barely use them redditors can now earn real money based on the amount

19
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:22,860
of Karma and gold they receive on eligible posts validating the oceans of

20
00:01:21,060 --> 00:01:26,759
Blood Sweat and Tears excreted by millions of users who have spent years

21
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:30,000
toiling in the fake Internet Point fields

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:33,900
this work it's hard not to draw comparisons between the new Reddit

23
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:38,460
contributor program and Twitter's recent rollout of AD Revenue sharing for

24
00:01:35,820 --> 00:01:42,900
Twitter blue I mean X premium subscribers if only because social media

25
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:47,159
platforms paying users living wages for post written while on the

26
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:51,420
literal is a fairly new thing unlike blue Shack's redditors won't have

27
00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:55,259
to front eight bucks a month to get paid but they will have to verify that they

28
00:01:53,399 --> 00:02:01,380
meet certain eligibility requirements like being over 18 living in the US and

29
00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:05,340
having an account in good standing they can start farming dollar dollar bills on

30
00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:09,239
eligible contributions which don't include posts with sexually explicit

31
00:02:07,140 --> 00:02:14,400
content or content related to violence drugs Farms gambling scams crypto or

32
00:02:11,819 --> 00:02:18,300
otherwise and of course donations to chair the worst of the bunch

33
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,599
references to the new program were actually first spotted by Android

34
00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:26,280
authority back in July when Reddit announced a phase out of Reddit coins

35
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:30,660
and gold shortly before launching more nft avatars which have somehow survived

36
00:02:28,920 --> 00:02:34,440
the crypto collapse yes they're still cringe but it's Reddit so it doesn't

37
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:38,400
matter NVIDIA envisions a future where games are mostly rendered from AI

38
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:42,360
generated frames as opposed to frames produced with traditional rasterization

39
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:46,560
at Native resolution because they look better anyway like how any picture

40
00:02:44,060 --> 00:02:50,760
pre-2022 pales in comparison to the anime waifu's mid-journey creates for me

41
00:02:48,780 --> 00:02:55,019
to pretend to cuddle with oh that's so good now the cuddling's real the AI

42
00:02:53,760 --> 00:03:02,099
rendered games comment comes from NVIDIA's vice president of Applied deep learning research Brian Catanzaro who

43
00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:07,379
told digital Foundry that in cyberpunk 2077's latest update the LSS 3.5's frame

44
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,780
generation and Ray reconstruction features result in real Ur better

45
00:03:10,620 --> 00:03:17,280
looking frames despite being the result of an upscaling process Brian went so

46
00:03:15,060 --> 00:03:22,920
far as to suggest that in the far future dlss 10 will enable a completely neural

47
00:03:21,300 --> 00:03:27,480
rendering system which won't use rasterization at all whether he made the

48
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:34,019
comments as a cope for the fact that AMD's Radeon RX 7900 XT can power the

61
00:04:23,340 --> 00:04:29,460
ransomware group is claiming that all of Sony's bases are belonging to them as

62
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:33,960
they have breached quote all Sony systems end quote everyone the proof of

63
00:04:32,699 --> 00:04:38,820
the hack posted by the group is apparently not particularly compelling according to

64
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:42,180
cyber security experts but we'll know for sure sooner or later as the group

65
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:46,620
says that Sony won't pay and the data will be published in three days if

66
00:04:44,460 --> 00:04:50,940
nobody buys it first though if this is anything like the 2014 Sony hack we

67
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:54,540
might get a sneak peek into future films and terrorist threats targeting Seth

68
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,620
Rogen remember that wait how do we know this wasn't him

Kim's back open AI has released an update for chat CPT that allows the

70
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:07,560
chatbot to see hear and speak removing one of the last things really throwing a

71
00:05:05,460 --> 00:05:09,720
wrench in our romantic relationship it already has that sweet nothings

72
00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:13,800
extension you can now audibly talk to it in a

73
00:05:11,820 --> 00:05:16,979
conversational style as well as include images in your prompts so it knows what

74
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:21,780
the hell you're talking about if your parents told you to use your words a bit

75
00:05:19,259 --> 00:05:24,780
too much now you can show Chachi PD a picture of your barbecue to troubleshoot

76
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:29,100
why it won't work if you'd like to hear that it's Infested by Gremlins

77
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:33,539
standard answer the update gives chat GPD the tools it will need to go against

78
00:05:30,660 --> 00:05:38,759
meta's planned sassy chatbot for teens but it's left me missing our old much

79
00:05:35,340 --> 00:05:41,280
worse AI assistance like alxe a chat GPT

80
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:45,419
play despacito Getty Images who has previously sued AI art generators for

81
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:49,500
using its copyrighted images in their training data has now announced their

82
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:53,759
own AI art generator because this is a way of things built by NVIDIA and

83
00:05:51,419 --> 00:05:58,259
reportedly trained entirely on licensed images Acclaim Getty is so confident in

84
00:05:56,220 --> 00:06:01,740
they're offering to get sued on your behalf it's like the 30 minutes or free

85
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,539
guarantee but if the driver was explicitly willing to go to jail to get

86
00:06:03,419 --> 00:06:09,660
your pizza to you on time I don't care

87
00:06:06,539 --> 00:06:11,460
if it's a school zone I am nothing

88
00:06:09,660 --> 00:06:15,479
he also says that images generated this way will not be added into the library

89
00:06:13,139 --> 00:06:19,139
thereby preventing the lossy jpeg problem of training in AI using their

90
00:06:17,220 --> 00:06:24,600
own output that threatens to turn all future AI art into an uncanny valley

91
00:06:21,780 --> 00:06:29,220
soup or hellscape awesome it's great head of AMD's Radeon

92
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:32,400
division Scott hurtwoman has announced his departure from the company after

93
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:37,319
seven years following the launch of the RX 7800 XD and 7700 XT herkeland was

94
00:06:36,060 --> 00:06:43,560
known as a friendly and approachable face willing to engage with the community via his socials herkelman said

95
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,919
goodbye to the Radeon team saying he will miss every single one of them

96
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:51,360
fighting shoulder to shoulder in the trenches together that was my

97
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:55,680
interpretation of his tone and Tesla has released a new video ostensibly

98
00:06:53,160 --> 00:07:00,840
showcasing the new capabilities of their neuro net trained Optimist robot first

99
00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:05,160
unveiled two years ago though I don't see it taking on the Decepticons anytime

100
00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:09,060
soon some have speculated that parts of the video look like CGI but it's equally

101
00:07:07,259 --> 00:07:13,080
possible that they simply fast forwarded sections to make the robot look less

102
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:17,900
like a concussed toddler slowly sorting blocks which would explain why its human

103
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:20,759
assistant appears to move uncannily fast

104
00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:24,419
ori's got a lot of coffee in another scene the same robot also demonstrated

105
00:07:22,620 --> 00:07:30,560
its ability to balance on one leg through some big inner yoga hopefully

106
00:07:27,180 --> 00:07:30,560
labeled namaste

107
00:07:31,259 --> 00:07:36,919
and you should Nama stay tuned for Wednesday when we'll be back

108
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:45,440
and for another episode labeled Tech link yeah I like that one James

109
00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:45,440
went off script there
